    Hey Fastlaners, It's been a month and I have been feeling the itch to post an update. I have been setting appointments in retail sales for solar. This job is better than Amazon delivery by far, and it also pays more which has kept my debt repayment consistent. Being in a different environment...

    Announced to everybody that i'm leaving for a new job today. Lots of people are sad i'm going, and others are happy for me to be getting out of here. It's been often referred to as 'hell', or 'purgatory'... one or the other. I have an anxiety about leaving this place, it's a comfort zone and...

    Everybody has their own path and regime that they feel is best, I appreciate Bryan for pushing people in the right direction with their health. I wouldn't be able to follow all of his protocols if I wanted to, but sleeping right, exercising daily, and following a clean diet are a great idea and...

    To chime in on this: For everyone reading, the answer is always health. I recently fell down the rabbit hole of Bryan Johnson’s "Don’t Die" movement. The extreme lengths he goes to in order to measure results scientifically reminds me of how MJ breaks business down to a granular, mathematical...

    Another little update: I opened an account with Navy Federal Credit Union. They only work with military and/or family of military, and so I leveraged my Grandpa's Navy service from back in the day to get in. The reason I did this is so that I can refinance the timeshare loan with NavyFed and...

    so we can all have more gains with less headache? wonderful... i learned about REIT's from a book called Infinity Investing by Toby Mathis. Although he preaches the slowlane route of investing 10% of your paycheck, his allocation model holds up as a solid strategy consisting of dividends...

    I didn't get the job. It's for the best considering it pays less than my current position, and there are many better opportunities out there. I'm a bit disappointed to be going back to Amazon for another week though. I've got a heavy dose of the Sunday Blues... My mindset walking out of the...

    Called the restaurants today, they let me know that they're not hiring. I'll be counting on the dishwashing interview on Monday to go well in order to escape Amazon with haste. If I get the job, i'll put my two weeks in. I calculated how much i'd make from the remainder of my time here, and it...
