    1/12th of a year at a time - a progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    6/12 I think June went comparatively well! I've chatted and brainstormed a bit with a friend about combining our ideas to make them mutually beneficial. Seems like it could be a good partnership. I've worked on gathering content and a process for producing a product, and actually produced...

    Yes, I think you're getting clearer!! Now I know the book is specifically focused on grammar (which requires some English understanding already), it is intended for high school students, and I can expect your book to increase English exam scores within a specific amount of time. Nice!

    I think that could be a good main title, but I think it would help to spell it out even more in subtitles/bullets. What's in the book precisely? Are you teaching words? Common phrases? Grammar?

    I love the energy and support in this thread! Lots of great feedback already. I agree with the suggestions to make it more clear (e.g., age/grade, etc.) and more obviously targeted to your audience and what they will get out of your book that they won't get elsewhere; why your book is the best...

    A few weeks ago I upgraded my goldfish tank. This new tank is 75 gallons (284 liters) and they still make it look small! They're all between 8 and 9 inches in length (~20-23 cm), and I've had two of them for ~4.5 years and one for ~8 years.

    The Age of Making Money is over?

    In my opinion, he's describing the 99% (including himself, it seems) as they've always been. Not many have the motivation or determination to actually implement what they learn, to try and fail many times before "making" it. Not many can make the mental transition from thinking like a consumer...

    Congrats! My boyfriend quit vaping last year and it was a real struggle for him. He's been using pouches and is slowly decreasing usage. Not 100% ideal, but it's still far better than vaping. It was horrible/scary hearing him cough all the time. Yes, you will! One foot in front of the other...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Idk man... there's something super satisfying about not needing to piggyback off of what others have that I am more than capable of having myself. I see my mortgage as two things. 1) a long-term investment that is likely to pay off well and 2) motivation to increase my income. As for preparing...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Thank you! Our "rent" is ~$2100, but I'll still take that over $10,000/mo. And it definitely helps to see your friends example - in even just five years from now I'm sure $2100 will seem low compared to now. In 20 years (or less) our $2100 will be the new $400. That's awesome! I hadn't really...

    Thanks for this thread, @biophase . It gives me some hope. My boyfriend and I mortgaged a lovely Santa Fe style, 2400 sq. ft., 13 year old house for $292k @ 5.99% fixed interest last August in a small college town about 1 - 1.5 hours from a larger city. As first time homeowners and just getting...

    This past weekend we took a trip to Bandelier National Monument in northern New Mexico. The site is located in a beautiful canyon and protects Ancestral Puebloan petroglyphs, cave dwellings, and masonry structures. Really neat to see a glimpse of how people lived hundreds of years ago; very...

    I think it depends. I had a friend who suddenly lost her dog and rescued another one within a month and it helped her a lot. I waited about 6 months. It was totally unexpected and rather impulsive. I saw my now rescue pup, Klaus, posted on Facebook and just something about his picture ... I...

    How to defy "hope"?

    MINDSET 
    An example. At my job, two things dictate promotions - ability and funding. Ability is always in my control. Am I engaged and progressing in the ways I've been encouraged to? What do I need to do to make myself eligible for a promotion? What are people at the level I want to be at doing that...

    I'm so sorry for your loss, MJ. I similarly lost my baby girl a year and a half ago. She was my best friend, my adventure buddy. She was just a few weeks shy of 11 years old but still full of energy, no arthritis, etc. She just suddenly collapsed and was gone. I miss her so much. Although...

    @Andy Black thanks for this thread and your thread on "what if you already know enough" - they really helped me get over some mental hurdles. After accepting that I know enough to get started and provide value, and after letting go of thinking I need so many things to be successful, I've...

    23-year-old with 23 X 3 in debt

    INTRO 
    For what it's worth ... I'm in a somewhat similar situation. My approach is currently to pay off debts aggressively (paying much more than minimum and also paying in weekly chunks to help reduce the effects of interest). As for having money for fastlane ventures, I'm starting smaller with...

    Really sorry, but I lol'ed at this. Try not to feel like an idiot. Caffeine is my kryptonite. I've "quit" so many times, but I always seem to end up letting it back into my life. "Quitting caffeine" sounds so much easier and simpler than it really is. I think switching your focus to nicotine...
