    You Are About To See an EPIC Industry Change

    HOT! 
    I guess we'll see whether it is or is not! I was traveling through SEATAC very frequently when they all got bumped, and service didn't improve at all...

    You Are About To See an EPIC Industry Change

    HOT! 
    While I agree with your observation, I don't agree with the idea it's from the higher wages. Tips are minimal to non-existent in other parts of Asia & Europe as well and the service can be really bad. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, but my instinct is to agree with @MarkNNelson

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    Many, if not most, of the best long term partner material ladies are going to force you to choose. If you want to pre-negotiate the cost of divorce, do a pre-nup.

    Two things come to mind- 1) I'm not sure how long ago he "beat" cancer or what his treatment was, but high dose corticosteroids are administered frequently during, and after, cancer treatment and have massive, terrible side effects including depression. It took a young family member years to...

    Yes, you're a fanboy. They're, at best, slightly less environmentally dirty than buying a brand new, comparable luxury car. Good chart here- http://seekingalpha.com/article/1844012-tesla-cars-are-not-an-environmental-abomination

    The main environmental value of an electric car is not that the total lifecycle produces less emissions, it doesn't, but that it produces different kinds of pollution than fossil fuel vehicles, which is great. We had a Leaf that we bought solely for the car pool exemption, but it ended up being...

    No more "we"! Start there. You yourself are not doing the shit you need to do to be fulfilled. Do not try to make yourself comfortable placing yourself in to some group of people that share your malaise for life. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VE4Y0Z2/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20

    Do you rent or own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If someone buys a house and plans to make payments on it for 30 years, yes, they are crazy. But buying a house does not mean one has to have a mortgage, this is a lie society has sold. The Swiss have very low rates of home ownership yet are among the richest people in the world, so another lie...

    Do you rent or own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Look at an amortization table and compare interest payment to rent over time. For most people, who don't put a big down payment, they're really close for the first several years. Unless you stay for a while buying a SFH basically costs you the risks associated with highly leveraged consumption...

    Losing the mindset.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's been touched on, but I think it should be more heavily emphasized, exercise. The hardest you can as you'll get more of the feel good drugs your body makes if you push it. If you don't feel like working hard, that's OK too, but make sure to move every day. At least go walk for an hour...

    The last company I worked for has a factory in the Philippines. I've been there half a dozen times. The arrangement you describe Andrew is a dream for a Filipino. If you want to engage the haters on this topic, and I'm not sure you should, I'd ask them why only American lives matter. If you...

    Taleb does a really long podcast with James Altucher where he says, paraphrasing, "if you need a job, work in the mailroom so you have energy to work on your theory of relativity or business before and after hours" By definition I think you really cannot be "fastlane" as an employee. That...
