    JUST RELEASED: How To Not Be Like Me

    EXECUTION 
    @96wells , here's what's tripping me up on the first post still: The title of the thread is "How to not be like me". But I don't know who you are. From my perspective, maybe I do want to be you? Maybe I don't? But the problem is I'm still not sure who you are. If you were someone infamous, I...

    7 Years on this forum - The Fastlane Journey through Life - Final Post

    HOT! 
    That's what stuck out to me, too. I don't get selfies with girls that I just met and make arrangements to travel across the world with them on the first date. Fullstop. There have been some people in my life that, within an hour or so of meeting them, they propose moving in together. I'm not...

    More Musings about Life

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Thank you for pushing this thread back to the top. Very timely for the perspective I need at the moment. I've had a very empty feeling recently when working on the side project. Yes, I want to escape having a 9-5. Yes, I want to be more than just survival-level successful on the side. But, I...

    Harry Browne: Is there really no competition?

    My apologies for the low-res photo, but it's an old one of mine that is relevant. Take a look over this. It's from on top of a hill in Paris on a sunny day where you can see for miles. What do you see? Millions of people. Millions of ideas, desires, thoughts, dreams. All within eyesight...

    Looks like you have extra spaces after the text in the table. Go in after the D and type the delete key (not backspace) or even ctrl-delete to get rid of them

    Insert -> Table (1x1) Select the table cell and change the background to that grey. Go to table -> properties and borders and select "none" to get rid of the border Center the text in the cell (it should span the entire page) Change the text color to red Copypasta

    How important is your credit score?

    Seconding what I'm reading here: Good credit scores can help you out. Have the money to buy a car but don't want to deplete the stack in your savings? A good credit score will get you a VERY LOW interest rate on a loan that you can pay off without spending anything worth worrying about in...

    Best of luck, from someone in a similar profession. It's easy to look around the cubicle farms and see exactly what you don't want, like you already mentioned. Use such things as fuel for your personal fire to get moving in the right direction. Just like you, I look around and I see no one...

    [Philosophical question] If money wasn't an issue, what would you do to improve your everyday life?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    That's a very interesting one with lots of potential. I've met a few very rich people. Without naming names, they like to put a lot of money behind their hobbies and pet projects, and fund some interesting things.

    What comes to mind right now is traveling and getting professional language learning services so I could be fluent in at least a few languages.

    What has helped your seasonal depression SAD?INDOOR TANNING???

    HEALTH 
    Vitamin D pills seem to affect me on the order of a week or 2. It takes a week of not daily dosing to come to the realization that my emotional state and energy is lower. Getting sunlight is almost a same day mood lifter, on the other hand. The only other regular supplement I take is creatine...
