Every day is different and I wear almost every hat still. I do have a graphics and website person who is helpful.

Some days I'm doing email and sales all day. Some days I'm sorting out supply issues. The other day I slept really late but then was up late getting orders out. Just take it as is comes.

Lately I try to dedicate more time to brand building activities, which is the worst part imo. Begging MOGGERS on insta to help sell for you bleh.

Not ballin but bills are paid. Obviously I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think there was a lot of growth potential, but I'd rather live under a bridge than ever wagecel again.

If you're a wagecel, max out that 401k. You can retire at 55 via a 401k.

I'd manufacture and sell meth if it wasn't for the fact that I'd have to deal with methheads and possibly end up in prison. Guess I'm going to work tomorrow.

But this one though...



I believe that it is less expensive to purchase health insurance in some foreign countries than it is to use Medicare.

See I think this could be part of what's up now. GenX and maybe some millenials at least started out working thinking that if we were good employees we would eventually get ahead.

Not sure why I watched this entire video, but I relate. At some point a lot of employers stopped even pretending to care and decided there was no need to treat employees with basic respect. By no means were all of my employers this bad, but some were.

You gotta make $150k for the American Dream these days. Before you say people are buying too much, we're talking a modest living. Decent $275k house, a couple Toyotas, paying the kids college, maxing retirement, and emergency fund.

Yeah you need about $150k in most cities. Less than that and you're struggling.
Inflation sucks. Thought about making a thread. Still might.

Good luck with your meth kingpin dreams. Meth is the cornerstone of 80% of small towns. Huge market.

There's also e-commerce but it looks difficult and over saturated
The fact is, there's no free lunch. The low hanging fruit has already been picked. I mean, it's 2023 and you still have people thinking they'll make it big drop-shipping! LOL.

You need to have some kind of genuine insight, make a connection that others are not yet aware of. Then you need to be able to execute on it. Basically, you need to be smart, hard working, and lucky. Most people have 1 of these attributes, max.

I used to post a lot more. Not sure exactly, but it was serious unhinged detective work. Because of my wagie threads lol. Some people legit stake their mental health on misc posts.

Well, the boomers might have gotten to retire at 55, but based on your own graph they died 10 years sooner

Also keeping old people alive is an expensive game so no surprise healthcare costs are going up

The rest is probably on point though

Lmao at the average life expectancy actually going DOWN in the US - anyone know why this is? Are you importing a lot of chronically ill immigrants or what?

Disagree.

The economy has become so specialised it’s actually gone backwards - zoomers can’t do basic manual tasks like home maintenance so need to hire tradies to do it, at exorbitant rates.

Here in Sydney you have the high-finance types, investment bankers, accountants etc calling in tradies to replace toilet valves. How much do you think those tradies add to the invoice when they get called to an address in Point Piper? They’re not charging Newtown rates, that’s for sure.
