    I'm justifying buying a supercar to join a supercar club. Is this a good move?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What is the worst possible downside if you buy the car (assuming you drive responsibly and you have the money)? You don't like it anymore and sell it at a small loss. The possible gain: you know how it feels and have that experience. And maybe got all the asymetiric upside that you expected...

    Quit Alcohol. Try it.

    MINDSET 
    One year ago I came across this thread. I drank alcohol a couple of times a week and have been doing so since I was 16, I'm now 37. I have an untapp'd profile with 500 different beers and I have friends that I'd meet weekly to have a beer with. But I noticed it made me feel like sh*t more and...

    24 Starting a carpet cleaning business

    EXECUTION INTRO
