    Does anyone REALLY wake up excited in the morning?

    Maybe you can help animals and nature then. Volunteer at an animal sanctuary or nature preserve.

    Yes but when you think about it, lawns make no sense. From cutting grass to raking leaves, you basically are going against nature in every regard just to make your front yard look pretty.

    I didn’t mean online. I meant in person. Maybe you aren’t doing enough things to get that in person. Do you ever really see your impact on others, if any?

    Man I hate lawns too. I was so pissed at my HOA when I got a new construction house. I had a front yard of dirt. They forced me to put in a lawn, trees and plants. Then I had to put in irrigation. Then I had to water it. But in drought weeks in AZ I had to limit the water. Plants died and I had...

    Me too! I never get very excited about one thing but I also never get depressed or upset at other things. I feel like I’m just cruising in neutral all the time. @MTF, If you have changed people’s lives and they tell you so, does that still make you think that what you did was meaningless? I’m...

    So today I woke up with no plans. No particular meaning for the day. But I ended up mountain biking, getting coffee, walking the dog, having dinner with friends. It was a great day. Nothing specifically accomplished in the whole meaning of life realm. What was awesome is that we crossed paths...

    Yes because any answer doesn't mean much to you. We don't know your skill level. Let's say you get these answers: 1) Start selling on Amazon 2) Day trade 3) Open on coffee shop 4) Learn how to repair cars How do any of these answers help you?

    I disagree with this. You don’t know if this tree will or will not make it. You also don’t know if this tree will provide food or shelter for a bird or a caterpillar. It may be meaningless to you in the span of 500 years, but it may provide a lot of value to a bunch of insects for the span of...

    You may like this one. https://overcast.fm/+O4jjWo_g4 The retirement books really haven’t been very good. They mainly talk about having a second purpose or hobby. I just think it’s funny how we judge the value of tasks. I mean putting up shelves may be a low value task for me. Or maybe it’s a...

    Actually, I'm listening to alot of books about retirement. And there are a few podcasts that talk about what to do after you've reached your financial goals. I just listened to a podcast that talked about decumulation. The art of planning how to spend your money. I find it funny how we...

    A few weeks ago, I had to drive 11 hours to pick up a dog that I fostered that was returned to the rescue. My parents think I'm crazy to do things like that. They think I'm wasting 22 hours of my life. But I honestly, have nothing else going on. So the night before I drove 2 hours and got a...

    Taking a business online. Is it worth it?

    EXECUTION 
    You haven't mentioned the important parts. Is it easy to ship? Does the product spoil? What's the price point?

    The strategy that I have seen with self storage companies is that they buy a large tract of land about 20 miles outside of a large city nearby the interstate. Then they put a simple single-story self storage facility on it so that the land makes money while they hold. Then after 10 years or so...

    Why don’t you just set up an online store for yourself and sell their clothes? Then when you get a sale go to the market and buy it for cheaper than you are selling it for online. Profit.

    Honestly, I think you’re kind of delusional that a big box store would place a large order from you. You don’t have any track record that you can even fulfill the order, why would they give you a large PO? Look at it from a purchaser‘s standpoint. He is an employee and if you don’t deliver on...

    I’m in the same boat, but not as bad. I purchased a new home in March 2021, it was supposed to be done in March 2022. I have $500k deposit with them. It’s looking like a August or September close date. But my contract has a clause that I can back out of the home isn’t done in 18 months. That...

    Chewy Customer Service - Value Skew

    EXECUTION 
    We always say yes to any return request and ask them to donate to a dog rescue. We never ask them to send it back but sometimes they insist. It costs more in shipping costs(we email them a label) and labor to sort returns then the price of the inventory.

    Where do you put your money now? Is real estate in a bubble? For you yes, for me no.

    Yes, I don’t believe there is a catchall the market is good or bad. It is relative to our situation. People just need to be aware of this.
