    Anyone else find this crypto stuff overwhelming? Really wish I would have begun studying it earlier. This was announced yesterday at the Bitcoin Conference 2022. Strikes Lightening Network has partnered with Shopify. View: https://youtu.be/o73fWsqJDdY...

    Dang this was posted three months ago before Meta Stock dropped 26%. I agree that people will begin valuing privacy more than anything else. I stopped posting on Facebook because I didn't like how my friends/family could see what posts I commented on.

    Digital Detox: Give Yourself an Extra 4 Hours a Day

    MINDSET 
    Absolutely great article. I've felt like I've had brain fog for the past 7 years, feeling dumber and dumber each day. I did a digital detox last year after reading "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport and it helped break my Twitter addiction. Sounds like I need to create a lifestyle around only...

    Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate the honesty. There is a huge need for physical businesses. I think if I don't try this for 6-12 months then I'll always look back and wonder what could have been. I do believe if 12 months from now things aren't working out then it would be wise to move on.

    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    It's discouraging but it actually made me sit down and reread "The Escape Number Strategy" chapter in TGRRE. I glossed over it the first time. I thought I could get away with an estimate of my escape number but now I know I need to sit down and actually calculate it. Knowing 10 years from now...

    I'm 27 and retirement is 67 in America. Not going to lie, it's been tempting to give up and stick with the slowlane but not after seeing these numbers . Using calculators/historical data is helping me see escaping the rat race is literally life or death. Receiving the maximum social...

    After seeing your post I did some calculations based on the historical data on this website. It goes back as far as 1953 and adjusts for inflation. By the time I'm eligible for retirement in 40 years, only 50% of homes will be less than $2,485,231 In 20 years, the medium home will be...

    Thank you for the kind, encouraging words. I thought my idea was stupid until I saw you and I have similar goals. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone.

    I haven't been as active as I should. The first three days went well but then I started having doubts about everything and started asking myself what do I really want. I haven't really done anything since 8/16/21. I've answered 166 questions on Quora and have 14,500 views. At my height on...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for your response. It helps me to see where I'm not communicating clearly. I do have a high paying skill from a business I began in 2016. I found the skill wasn't my problem but having the self-confidence to market myself is. I'm learning marketing now so if what I'm doing now fails...

    Update Day #1 I woke up this morning and had absolutely no desire to work. So I started listening to a motivational video on YouTube as I played a computer game. 75 minutes later I was ready to work and the game actually got boring. Favorite quote from the video: "Dreams require a willingness...

    2020 Census Data has been released

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The census happens once every 10 years so it's a big deal in America. It affects everything from politics to how much money states receive. It's also good for business owners to have updated information on the demographics of their areas. What business opportunities do you see from this...
