    Anyone in Alberta - Matermind/Meetup...

    MEETUPS 
    I'm in IT. I am having trouble finding a job here in QC City. It's erratic here too. But what I hate the most is the cold! Last winter it was between -30 and -40 for like month and a half! I had to break the ice around the wheels with a crowbar every f***ing morning :rage:

    Anyone in Alberta - Matermind/Meetup...

    MEETUPS 
    @Fox @GrumpyCat I was thinking about moving next spring/summer and Calgary or Edmonton were on the list of possible choices. Are winters colder than in Quebec? Is it hard to find a job?

    My thoughts after making my first $100k

    NOTABLE! FTE 
    I used to think like you and I still do. I have certain insecurities and I already asked for advice on this forum. Some of the things I applied easily, while others I understood perfectly in theory but wasn't able to change them. I made a whole mind map actually because I was curious to know...

    Freelancing and College

    MINDSET 
    I finished school in June and at at the same time one of my jobs was over (it was a student job). Now it's too damn relax. It sounds difficult but once you fully dive in, it becomes a great feeling to know that you are actually moving forward. Currently I have one job, but I keep myself occupied...

    Freelancing and College

    MINDSET 
    Well I can't talk from business side, but from the school-job point of view. I spent a year (August 2014 - June 2015) having two jobs (40h per week) and full time school (30-35h per week). I skipped some classes from time to time, because of the work. During the day it was school or work...

    Is it right to move out and pay rent if I'm living with my parents?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As @Kung Fu Steve said, heater, car, ankle. Those are just some examples. I'll also add few: any health related problem (I don't know how it goes London - and which London you live in! -, in Canada we have assurance, but in the US based on what I saw, I think it is extremely expensive), you...

    The Education Monopoly... W.T.F?!!

    HOT! 
    I agree with what others said about the comfort. And would like to add that the other reason could be that people lack discipline. I know a lot who want to learn on their own, but end up getting drunk every night. They don't have a plan, don't know where to start and don't even bother with...

    Well... I'm officially a Millionaire

    GOLD! 
    @GrumpyCat Congrats on your success! This is not the first time that I find on of your posts highly inspiring! But what strikes me the most, is that you are 23 years old! Based on your posts, I always imagined you were around 30. You sound so humble and wise! Keep up the good work and wish you...

    Is it right to move out and pay rent if I'm living with my parents?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    BIG, BIG, BIG mistake! You don't know if you are going to find another job and how long it is going to take. And never ever think that money that you have WILL last X number of months, because there are so much uncontrollable variables that you could be surprised. If you go on your own, you...

    When does it go from learning to mental masturbation?

    MINDSET 
    I am also like you. Being addicted to learning is an incredible thing for self development. I was curious about how everything is correlated so I made a mind map. I won't be explaining the whole process but I will talk about the learning part. You starting point is learning (theory) by reading...

    Progress Thread: Losing Weight

    HEALTH 
    Well discipline is a skill. It needs practice and persistence to be achieved. So those who have no discipline in weight loss are less likely to have discipline in financial management. If you look for instant gratification in food, what stops you from doing the same thing with money?

    I want to Run? Jump off a cliff? Leave it all?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yeah, it's really making mistakes that makes a major difference. I believe that everyone is bound to make some of those mistakes eventually. There are people who make a ton of mistakes younger and learn from the consequences. They see that the advice that was given to them was not in vain. Then...

    Learning to Code

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It depends on what you want to code. Web? Desktop? Mobile? Object Oriented Programming? Functional programming? Java? C#? VB? The most important thing to learn in coding are the principles and understanding of how it works and why it works like that. If you're into OOP for example...

    I am glad I could help :) I don't know if you ever lived there, or how much time did you spend visiting, but if you have any other question, you can ask me here or PM me. I've lived for 18 years in Sarajevo before leaving it all in a quest for better future. We have a really unique vision of...

    What is the first step to independence?

    To be humble and except nothing is great, but to say you deserve nothing... come on man, don't be hard on yourself! Just the fact that you ask right questions at the age of 17 (I didn't ask because I thought I was smarter than everyone else - idiot) is what makes you deserve it more than most...

    There is no wrong place, only the wrong actions. Students become masters by learning from the shit that is thrown at them daily. Vengeance is in success, not in leaving.

    Go into debt for buying Magic cards, should I do it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    First, they turned unique ideas into successful businesses. Second, he didn't say he wanted to create a business with Magic cards, just resell them once, without even being 100% sure how much time it would take. If I say: "I'm gonna set up a website and start selling rare luxury watches and...

    Well, I am not currently in the same boat as you are. But I was. More than once. I don't have $$$, but am working on it. Balkan countries are poor countries, and we are able to survive only because we stick together. I currently live in Quebec, Canada and most of the young folks here leave when...

    I want to Run? Jump off a cliff? Leave it all?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    On a serious note tho, I can understand your problems with your family very well because we both come from the Balkans and it is a similar mentality. IMO, you pretty much have two options, do as your father says or don't and explain what you want and why you want it. Your father will probably be...
