    Vent about the fastlane formula

    GOLD! HOT! 
    OP used the word "sacrifice" a lot, but I wonder what he's so worried about sacrificing, like what his alternatives are. Ok probably you'll have to sacrifice playing computer games all evening for years or whatever, but are you really going to pretend that's a meaningful sacrifice? Maybe it's...

    When u're sick and tired of being sick and tired - longest intro ever? (M, 24)

    INTRO 
    That's key then, should throw some time and money at it. Search for strength assessments. First on google is "CliftonStrengths", doing that would be good starter step I'd imagine.

    When u're sick and tired of being sick and tired - longest intro ever? (M, 24)

    INTRO 
    I probably wasn't far off where you are around that age. Based on what you've said I might offer the following hints. 1. Go to some therapists. The first 7 years of life are formative, and the first 6 of yours were under parents who were dysfunctional in how they relate to others, so you may...

    https://gizmodo.com/bernie-sanders-hard-pass-on-giving-jeff-bezos-billions-1846964956 They seem very committed to continuing to spend like a drunken sailor. Pretty hilarious when Bernie has to pipe up and remind his crew that they're not supposed to be quite so overt with handing money to...

    Are you in a cage?

    MINDSET 
    One thing I like to do for this is to spend money I can't afford (or aren't comfortable spending) for access to these people. Money is a natural filter. Anything that involves social mingling that costs more money than's comfortable, are good. Examples could be certain industry events, private...

    Comic book about my cat

    Prob (1) Most likely audience for it is kids and the natural world is already fascinating enough for them without needing a supernatural aspect (beyond animals talking, for the sake of the story, etc).

    What do you do if you find a need but don't know how to fix it?

    Congrats, what you have is very valuable. If you've got money, you'd hire a freelance UX (designer) and full stack dev to produce a minimal functional prototype (hits the central use case). If not, you'd have to do the same with a partnership, which would require you to sell the idea and your...

    I may resolve a big problem, now how can I make a profit out of it?

    Can you make more profit than $0? Because that's how much it's worth in your head. If it's so easily copyable, its value is first mover advantage. The first inventor of something gets a brand value as long as they push for it. Generics and copycats always follow, but the original still leads...

    I may resolve a big problem, now how can I make a profit out of it?

    Even if it can't be made into a product, extensions and periphery services probably could be, like businesses based on open source. Even if the initial offering is free (think wordpress.org) the important thing is to have it out there as soon as possible with your name on it, lest someone else...

    It's a tough one. Perhaps holding more reliable foreign currencies could be a solution? Maybe this time USD won't rally, or perhaps more briefly, but cash as an asset class will. I think I'll do some research which other currencies were solid during 2000 and 2008.

    It's easy, you just have to print and not print at the same time, alternate print/not on odd/even days. Jokes aside, the other key part of this is that a lot of the allocated "stimulus" money is still pending being spent. It can only get worse. Not sure why the gold price isn't moving more...

    Is a market crash coming? Or massive hyper-inflation?

    HOT! 
    I know the feeling, but it's a repeating feeling, guys felt it up to 2008, 2000, 1987. I'm just going off the vibe that the numbers are dumb. Like dogecoin, a joke that's real so long as people keep laughing. So it doesn't bother me, I'm sticking to mostly cash. We haven't had a real "blood...

    HOW DO I SERIOUSLY GIVE UP GAMING

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I can confirm uninstalling, deleting, destroying etc works. I was never a big gamer but did waste inordinate time on it when younger. Deletes create a barrier to play so they work. If you have to dl & install 80gb to play you've got more encouragement to think twice. Just delete & destroy...

    Is a market crash coming? Or massive hyper-inflation?

    What are members current opinions on how the next recession will go down? The thing that stands out to me is that after a global pandemic, there doesn't appear to be any noticeable economic difference at least from where I'm standing. There was a bit of panick and layoffs, but people found new...

    What inconvenienced you today?

    Anything bureaucratic where you have to go in person. Government, bank, vehicle / licence, doctor (re-prescription), consulate (visa application), etc. I want a service where I can send a body in my place as me to do all that waiting and paperwork/questions drudgery for me. I cannot begin to...

    Not happy at my current job (Electrician, NY)

    A big commute, low salary, and can't afford rent: really does sound like NY is unworkable and you're not really getting ahead. I'd take some time off somewhere cheap, then let your energy and soul return, chill out, see and do some new things, and ponder your next move. Electrician is a good...

    Late 18, Painfully stressed and confused. Help?

    MINDSET 
    I'd pick a marketable skill closest to something you've already done or enjoyed doing, such as if you liked drawing cartoons then graphic design, if you have bilingual language skills then translation, etc, and freelance that. That's the quickest way to get your feet wet in business. Only...

    How does the economy really work? (Banks, loans, value, economics)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Yes fair call. Just easy to get sucked into the political side. You're right, if you can step back and see it scientifically (e.g. with states as mere actors) it can help business and investment decisions.
