If you would consult the graph...
I’ve completely switched my default mode of operation this past year from saving as much as possible to just simply make more. It happened naturally for various reasons; the most prominent being running the HFT startup. Quite the difference on how I operate now. I’d say it’s a much better mental model for like generally speaking.

Drunk and bought myself a bougie pocket knife (leatherman arc). Beautiful skies tonight, oldest kid now a teenager. Good day, overall.

TILed that 10s of thousands of dollars is a lot of money to some people.

Grown-ass man complaining about paying off a loan for the average cost of a new car.
I borrowed £43,871 when I went to uni and graduated in 2020. I have been paying off my Plan 2 student loan since April 2021. Today, my balance is £89,861.50. Back in August 2024 my interest rate was 8% each month. To put that into context, that’s £590.90, and I could only afford to pay £115.00. How is this fair? In 2016 I was told it would feel like a household bill or a trip to the cinema. Now it’s the difference between getting on the property ladder or staying in rented flat shares. Every month, to this day, £307.30 of interest is added to my bill. And I’m projected to pay 9% of my salary for the next 25 years to repay my student loan. This has to end. A Restore Britain government will fix this injustice and will always put British men and women first.

In the US, average student loan debt for undergrad is about 30-40% of the median 4-year graduate's annual earnings, while in the UK it's a bit over 100%, and still Americans complain about student loan debt.

This guy is on an income based repayment plan that is only causing him to pay 115 pounds a month on (what started as) a 43000 pound debt. After 25 years they will wipe his debt clean. He's the recipient of incredible largesse from British taxpayers, yet is ungrateful for it.

Women cannot comprehend the allure of being a man with nothing left to lose.
Men will say “beast mode” and it’s literally a guy at rock bottom

In the future I'm going to tell my grandkids about John Cleese Slave Castration Day and they're going to ship me off to the old folks home. "Whatever you say, grandpa".

"You aren't allowed to fix any problems unless you fix all problems"appears to be Jane's contention.
again, that leaves behind the bad kids, with whom we have no idea what to do (besides "jail" or "kill them" or "trade school? the military?").

You need to be destroying your children at sports. Dunking on them. Running over them. Knock one out of the park and bat flip them. Be saturn to their zeus. Make them desire to defeat you.
11 year-old me complained that we didn't have thanksgiving family traditions like the Kennedys and got my 5'8 skinny-ass mom to get out and straightarm me while scoring a touchdown through the backyard gate
