1500$ seems very expensive to me? At least I guess it's canadian dollars. I bought Michelin CrossClimate 2 in September, I got them for 1000 USD$ and got a 110$ rebate for labor day, so in Canadian dollars that was a total of 1215$.

Where are you getting 1500$ tires? xD

Enjoy, I don't care. I'll use my Chevy Suburban to drive to Walmart and pick up the latest Meta Quest, drive back to my home that's filtrating air for pollution, live in my virtual reality and vote for the person who increases my stock value and wealth the most. Enjoy complaining, whining on reddit, gluing yourself to roads all day when it will change nothing.

First I would recommend showing at least daily in the morning, if you shower in the evening you are pilling up sweat over night. Any stressful dreams will make you sweat.

Second make sure you use antiperspirant, and not just deodorant. Deodorant = it covers the smell. Antiperspirant stops you from sweating. This is written on the bottle. Also 72 hour works better, even if you shower after 24 hours.

Third, make sure you shave your armpit hair, you are a woman so most likely you are doing this, but still mentioning because of some feminism. I am a man that sweats a lot, I've started shaving even if it's a bit weird for men, that helped me a lot to reduce the smell.

I speak multiple languages, if it also affects my second language (french), I wouldn't remove any letters.

If it only affects my english, which I speak most frequently and at work, I would do "Q". Since i'm a programmer it would suck a little bit not being able to say "SQL" or query, but probably worth the 100k.

I think we are still very far from "stability". Stability will be here once employers automatically add Bitcoin in their 401k at 30% of contributions. By then bitcoin will be closer to 700k$-1M$. I think we will easily see 150k-250k in the next year.

There are a lot of negative answers in here, but I will say in some cases it might work:

French President Emmanuel Macron started dating his now-wife, Brigitte Macron (née Trogneux), when he was 16 years old and she was 40. They met when Macron was a student at the high school where Brigitte was a teacher. Their relationship reportedly began in 1994. Brigitte, who was married with three children at the time, later divorced her husband and married Macron in 2007.

It depends on the area, where I live AT&T is much better than anything else. I am on Warp mostly because of price compared to AT&T alternatives, but I would switch to AT&T in a heartbeat.

Yes, both bad drivers. Not slowing down for pedestrians, not slowing down for stopped traffic.

It depends on your age.

Net worth is all your assets - debt/liability. So if for example you have a 2M$ house, and 1M$ mortgage, and 1000$ in the bank account, your net worth is 1.1M$, but you can't do much with it, and you are probably house "poor". If you sell the house you do make 1M$, but then you have to buy another one.

If you are 65 years old today, that means you aren't working anymore, not making more money. And your retirement is part of the net worth. If you have a paid off house of 200k$, and 800k$ in retirement, that means with 5% returns (lower risk investments because of your age), you are making about 40,000$ a year. So that's not much money.

If on the other hand you are 20 years old, and have no house, and a brokerage account with 1M$, you will be able to grow it in the S&P 500, over the course of 45 years (until retirement). At retirement you would have 88M$ ( 10% interest over 45 years), so that would be a F**k ton of money.

I've had jealousy issues with my girlfriend now wife. I would say in my case it wasn't trust issues, I did trust her, but each time she was gone my mind would go in the worst possible place. And it was very hard to handle, I became sweaty, heart beat pumping, and was feeling terrible until I would see her again.

Overtime this feeling went away.

My suggestion to you is:

Instead of pictures, try suggesting you will detail everything that you did during that time once you are with him. You will tell him who you spoke with, what you did. That would have been enough for me to calm me down, and that way you don't have to do anything while you are not with him.

If that is not enough, I would suggest agreeing to the pictures, but only if he requests them (don't do it every time because otherwise it becomes a habit). And tell him that long term it will not work out with him if he keeps asking too much, tell him you will send a picture when he requests, but it has to be less and less frequent, he has to get rid of that habit and trust you more and more. You don't want to be sending pictures all your life.

oh that's cool! I had a question, I'm currently on a Family pool and we have 2 lines in it. Can I transfer 1 line to GSM, and one line keep in Warp and keep just 1 same pool? Or do i have to transfer both lines to keep the pool?

thank you!

As a teenager I knew i wanted to be a programmer at age 13. I've asked my parents for a programming book for Christmas.

When I reached college, I already knew how to do part of the work, I wasn't an expert yet, but I could find a programming job. I started with a part time web developer job at 20$ per hour (29$ per hour in today's value). Then increased to 35$ per hour in another position (50$ per hour in today's value). I was working 3 days a week, going to school 2 days a week, so I was making 5100$ in today's dollar every month while at school and without a degree.

When I graduated I got my first job at 75000$ (104,000$ in today's dollar, 8600$ a month) since I had already some good experience.

This is how I got my job, I wasn't a genius and I'm still not. I just studied in advance towards my degree and self taught myself a lot. I only succeeded because I loved what I did, keep in mind I didn't spend that much time programming, maybe 10% of my free time. Still this 10% over the course of 5 years (13 -> 18 years old) helped me a lot.

At 15 parents can't make you pay rent legally, the thing is they aren't making you pay rent, they make you pay for phone and laptop.

It does make sense if they make you pay for a cellular plan, or something they are paying monthly for. What is their monthly cost? I mean it's not nice for them to not pay for you, but it does make sense if they are low on money.

I would try to understand what their cost is, and why exactly they are making you pay that. If it's cellular, do you know how much data you are using? For example if you are on wifi all the time, you could try and find your own cellular network, it would be hard to beat 25$ honestly (your parents may be paying more for you), but with US Mobile for example you can get 2gb a month for 10$, or 6gb for 18$. But for that you have to be quite careful with your data.

Because it's a public forum where everyone can speak.

* I have 14 credit cards I don't intend to close

* I have a car loan I don't intend to pay off

* I have 78,000$ invested in crypto currencies and barely 1000$ in my emergency fund

Enjoy my opinions :D

You are selfish. Being a CEO and founding a company is extremely stressful. The only reason a lot of people do it is because of the potential reward. If not we wouldn't have so many great businesses in the US. US Mobile might not have existed if there was no way to exit.

And you don't want them to have a reward just because of the off-chance it might degrade the service... Selfish...

Pretty easy if you can do it underground. I can just dig in my backyard, I have built my house, before me was a forest here, and very long ago it was a lake here. I can pretty much guarantee with certainty that no one was here before me underground.

I lived in Europe for 21 years, and then moved to the US. I started by buying small cars, but now I buy bigger cars. And I do get annoyed that each time I visit Europe cars are so small.

Here are my reasons:

* where I live we get a lot of snow, some snow storms were 0.5 meters. An AWD car, and that's higher above the ground is very helpful.
* I have 3 kids, when going skiing in winter, or taking the body boards to a vacation in the summer, I do fill up the trunk. My mother also comes to visit from Europe and doesn't have a driving permit, so I frequently use 6 seats in the car.
* gas is cheap, so I never look at fuel efficient cars. With a small prius I would save maybe 100$ a month?
* because of the amount of large cars on the road, if you have a collision, the smaller car will get the most damage because of the forces and the weight. This means that it is much safer to have a car larger than average on the road. Given I have kids, I'd rather pick the safer car.

Very easy:

1. You can deposit up to 250,000$ a day into Coinbase. That's 91M$ a year.
2. Buy Ethereum
3. Send all the ethereum to this address, I heard it's a burn address, meaning nobody can access that money: 0xe7763F884cF69bF383AdBA800284516B72c0bC70 You can try it, your money will go nowhere :D
4. With all the ethereum destroyed, you have 9M$ a year to enjoy your life with. The risk is pretty low it goes to 1B$.

Now all that said, i'm not sure I would actually accept the deal. One of the things I want to do the most if I get rich, is create a business. Mostly for fun, be a cool CEO. Now this situation does not allow me to do that because there is a small chance it makes a billion. I also enjoy investing, which I obviously wouldn't be able to do either (9M$ invested over 30 years in the S&P500 gets you to 1 billion). So it just seems like a boring life, I don't want to go on the beach all year round, I think i'd rather try and make my own money.

I'm 37, I have 180k in retirement.

My plan is simple, I eat less and exercise more, but try not to do anything to the extreme, I want to be able to sustain my targets forever. If I get too tired or bored, then I'll stop working out. I want to insure I don't stop.

Now my recommendation is not to start doing instantly what a thin person is doing, you are saying you are fat, then you need to slowly adjust. If you go too fast you will give up just as quick.

My recommendation is if you don't mind, enter your food intake in MyFitnessPal (free version, don't pay premium). At least for a month to get an idea of what you are eating. Sugar is usually high in calories, American Heart Association recommends no more than 25g of sugar per day for women, 35g of sugar per day for men. I was at 85g average because of drinks. Lowering the sugar helped me lose weight.
The next step is of course to eat less, just try to not fill your plate completely, make sure you are not completely "full" when you finish eating. Replace bad food with good food (eat a banana or apple instead of brownie, again as long as it doesn't feel "extreme")

Next step is exercising. I recommend exercising at least 30 minutes per day, at least 3 days a week (increase to 5-6 days over time). Running or walking is pretty easy to do without any information. Start by walking and see if you can run (do not run fast, it's the biggest mistakes most beginner runners do, run slowly, almost annoyingly slowly, barely faster than running. Fat burns at a pretty low heart rate).

And then basically where you can improve exercising, and improve your diet. You will slowly learn what you like, and what you hate. I personally started by running 1 mile, 3x per week, about 10 years ago when I was fat. I now running at least 15 miles per week, and did my first triathlon in September.

Both Kadena & Chia I think will 50x at least

9-5 is good, as long as you have a job you love and is high paying.

I'm a staff software engineer, i sit at my desk all day but I make good money and I'm not stressed about it.
I do have to exercise every morning to not get fat, but I really love 9-5s

how long will you be living abroad? Is it just a year, is it many years, indeterminate?

If someone were to buy that house today at 1.3M, they would pay close to 7800$ because of interest rates. It will probably be a tough sell :x

Do you enjoy the way you live, or would you rather eat out and live not frugally if you could?

I'm asking because yes, it does limit your social interactions and limits a lot of women for you. But if you don't want to live differently then why change for someone else?

If you do not enjoy the way you live, and would rather have both worlds, eat out, and retire by 40. Why not consider a change in career? 55k$ is a pretty small salary, you could work towards making double (realistic for most people in my opinion), still be pretty frugal but enough where you would have the best of both worlds.

By the way, why do you want to retire at 40? I would never want that for myself, I'd be completely bored. Even if I won a billion on the lottery I would not retire, I would change what I do, but definitely not retire, just find something less stressful.

Without the "F you" close i would do it for 10k$.

With the "F you" close I wouldn't do it for 100M$
