One of those days at work, but gotta pay the bills with the least amount of effort possible
My dream job? None, I do not dream of labor. Second on the list? Getting paid to write and/or take care of animals. Anything that allows me to have as little contact with human beings as possible. Because they will screw you, or try to, eventually; guaranteed. Not gonna get into specifics, but I gotta…

Work advice, lesson, wisdom… Get it, and improve your quality of life
For better or worse, I decided very early in my adult life that the vertical career path was not for me. Starting entry-level, climb up the ranks, grind every day, promotions, reach new corporate levels, get the bread, get the position, achieve “success”. Just imagining all this disgusts me. I cannot fathom how people do…

Markets red, again; losing money, again; the pain never stops
Damn, got crushed on the market AGAIN. Every time the FED talks or tweets something, the wound bleeds again. My portfolio was on the way to being healthy. I was seeing green and feeling good about it. Negative double digits went to single double digits in a week, very near breaking even for the first…

Planning ahead should be easy, right?
Been thinking a lot these past few days. About life in general, future plans, financial security, the whole nine yards. I concluded that reaching your goals is easier when you plan 1 to 3 years ahead. “I’m gonna find a job right after I graduate” “I’ll buy a car before the year ends”“I’ll save X…

I didn’t choose the complaining-life, the complaining-life chose me
Fully booked till the end of October, working out 4 times a week, keeping up with a healthy diet, money is flowing in, going on trips, finished my newest video game in the top percentile… Seems like everything is going perfectly fine. How could a person complain? Well, there are always reasons for complaining. I deserve…

Near to medium future incoming, and fast
The plan is to make a play in the market that will net me $100k en 2-3 years (maybe earlier). I’ll cash out, then take like a 15%-25% mugging from the government, and that will leave me with roughly $75k in my pocket. Clean. What will I do with that money? Slightest fucking idea, maybe…

Your Credit Card statement has arrived; click here to make payment
Why is that I’m earning more money now, but my expenses keep getting higher, and credit card payments bigger? How does this work? Before, I earned less, and had less to pay. Now I work more, get paid more, have less free time, but more debt. – Checks credit card statement- 3 premium streaming subscriptions,…

So they say… Is the root of all evil today?
Money shapes lives, makes decisions, puts you on the path you don’t want to take, forces you to settle, leads to suffering, creates new life experiences, brings new troubles by the tenfold. One problem, any problem, hits you from your blind spot: How much does it cost?Who will pay for it?Are they gonna pay for…

“It’s just a ride”
Officially throwing the towel. Fuck it. Imma drink, eat, and spend like there’s no tomorrow (but responsibly, of course). The world is going to shit, fast. Might as well have some fun on the way down (if your privilege permits it). It’s not going to change for the better, at least anytime soon. Guaranteed. Greed…

Easy comes, easy goes
Found myself a little extra money these past few weeks, between some spare change in the lottery, a few over the top tips and a personal favor that paid more than what I expected. Mazel tov! Right? What am I to do with this extra cash? Should I reinvest in the bottomed out market? Should…
