After 10 years of being taxed to death we're selling up and moving from the Bay to Dallas, I'm making almost the same base salary but I'll definitely miss those bay area bonuses. The job more than makes up for it though.

Apparently we can sell our place and make enough profit to buy a nice place in cash and maybe a 2nd income property, which is nice.

Going to miss the state park in my backyard, but otherwise I can't wait to move.

Shiit dude, there's your bonus.. Congrats!
It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Thanks, according to those online calculators it's a 35% increase, which pretty much makes up for the bonus. Also having no mortgage would be amazing

And moving to a city with a 5 x lower crime rate is worth almost as much as never hearing the word "problematic" used in a non mocking way again.

Sounds like you need to work out more.

Would've been close to setting a personal best for alcohol consumed this weekend. Christ...

Good luck with it all Halfway.

I watched 'Goin' South' Thursday night. Jack Nicholson western. Underrated af.

Also seen Owning Mahoney for the first time, great stuff

Have you tried just giving up for 7-8 months at a stretch? It's not a lifetime nor just it have to be, but just in regards to gauging a difference in your physical and/or mental state? I'm trying it now (even socially) and it's great, although I wasn't a big drinker prior.

Went 6 months without a drink in '15. I started to feel way too normal.

Once you have no real expenses (no mortgage, limited water/power bill) and own your vehicles - the amount of income/savings you have is literally insane by working a regular job.

I am about 10 years away.

I will never get close to my personal best, and i never want to. Not going to get into details, but i was young, and it involved a lot of Absinthe shots

My experience is that it's not so much that hangovers get worse as you get older but that you need more sleep to get over them. Not enough sleep + hangover = walking dead.

I know, right? What I wouldn't give to get in on that amazing, VA quality FREE healthcare but sadly I'm going to have to settle for a PPO plan instead.

Have you guys seen Lethal Weapon?

Overall, the show was great. I thought it was good remake and it was a refreshing show. I usually get bored with cop shows, but I tuned in weekly to try and catch it.

Due to schedule, I only caught the halfway point. I didn't see the beginning nor the finale. But, you can Prime it now, so I've been watching it.

Holy. ****ing. ****. That finale. That's probably the single best piece of television I've seen.

What an amazing cliff hanger to boot.

Season 2 looks like it's gonna be

Spoiler!


Man on Fire: The TV Show




Damn good cinema.
