    Hey man, it's tough out there lol. I saw this earlier today but it was in a meme, so I thought it was fake. Now I'm not sure what to think.

    This goes for pedestrians as well (at least in my experience) especially in places where there isn't too much foot traffic. On my hikes when I come to even a small intersection with a car at the stop sign, they completely ignore me. I've had a few close calls with drivers just not paying...

    Speaking of accidents on the road, did you know that the National Transportation Safety Board has found that 23% of all traffic accidents are caused by alcohol? That means the other 77% were caused by sober idiots!

    Rucking. Carrying a backpack full of heavy stuff for long distances.

    HEALTH 
    Just a little update. Last week was a crappy week for rucking. I took a break for a couple days due to pain in my ankle. It's started to go away, but I'm pretty sure the main reason was because I had been using these worn-out tennis shoes. So I went out and got some sturdier hiking shoes...

    Navigating 401ks, HSA, Roth IRAs, etc.

    INVESTING 
    I sort of have the same question here. My company offers a 401k and a % match but I'm currently not participating in it. Would it still be a good idea to do so keeping in mind that it's not the thing that will make you rich because it's not part of the Fastlane wealth equation? (i.e.: Wealth =...

    Don't feel bad. It's a joke. This is the FLF, not BlueSky. But sure, you make a good point, and we understand the same thing: doing hard work is good and honest people should be respected. Some people who are trapped in the slowlane world are doing so not to serve their "corporate overlords"...

    Yeah this is just about it lol. I honestly wish there was a way to just turn off my LinkedIn feed sometimes. Too much BS and fluff. The positive side is that it's allowed me to hone my skill of immediately detecting if something was written by AI.

    I was going to just post this to my profile page, but I wanted to share it here for everyone to see. A quote from my favorite artist: "Don't give up. Push through the droughts. Channel the inevitable disappointments back into your craft. Break molds. Think. Create. But most importantly, stay...

    The Quest for a Clearer Mind and Less Digital Assault on my Attention

    MINDSET 
    In late 2022 I stopped using my iPhone for a short period of time and used a flip phone - namely the TCL FLIP Pro (I know such a cool, fancy name for a phone) I stopped using it after only a few months. It took forever to send a text and I got drawn back into the practicality of just having a...

    Fitness trackers and biometric devices, worth it?

    HEALTH 
    I know this isn't strictly a fitness tracker in the sense that it's something you wear which actively collects data, but I just want to add that I've been using the app Macrofactor for a few weeks and it's helped me a ton with tracking calories and macronutrients. You are able to connect the...

    Rucking. Carrying a backpack full of heavy stuff for long distances.

    HEALTH 
    It was great, honestly. It kinda made me think about this type of workout and how it's basically Exercising 101. Think about it like this: before cars, if you didn't have a horse or a wagon, you walked everywhere. Maybe not ALL the time, but certainly a lot of the time, especially if there...
