    You can relax in the comfort of your own home and suddenly a car could go through your window or a helicopter could crash into your home. The chances of that happening? Pretty low. But it can still happen. If you're going to live your life entirely "safe", you're not going to be experiencing...

    WEB DESIGN 
    A good website isn't just about looking nice. It's about addressing real business needs. If your plan is to create websites that focus on looks and winning awards, you're probably not going to get far. In 2023, do websites addressing real business challenges and owner concerns hold value...

    Got dry suit certified today! Much needed for diving here in the PNW! 6 dives are now recorded in my dive logbook. You know, originally I had decided to start diving to face my fear of the open water and the deep. But now, I'm actually starting to feel really relaxed down there. Especially when...

    Just signed my first NDA and business buyer registration on a business that seems interesting from bizbuysell. Legalese is intimidating. Don't have the money yet, but this NDA is just seeing what this company is is all about, learning more about this potential business, etc... Still an action...

    @BizyDad @biophase, thank you guys for the tough love and talking sense into me. I’m going to start saving and learn more about the acquisition process. I’m more interested in that path than starting from scratch. Especially after reading some threads that @BizyDad mentioned from a user’s...

    I have some RSUs but nothing too crazy. Job hopping would provide more than the RSUs would at the moment. The golden handcuffs being this is the most I've made so far and I'm highly confident that it can go significantly higher than where I'm currently at. To suddenly drop this for something...

    Recently turned 25, and I'm currently hovering around $190k, 400k would definitely be the large stretch goal and pretty unrealistic but not impossible (don't think I'd hit it within the next year), but realistically by just a pay raise or job hopping into a FAANG (currently at a Fortune 500), I...

    Definitely. When I lived abroad for long periods, every time I face-timed my family members, especially my parents... I could definitely tell they were getting older. Not a good feeling.

    God damn, I read the millionaire fastlane and I've been on this forum ever since my early teens. Each time I read it, I understood it more and more. I understood the concept of the script. But during my teens I wasn't actually "an adult". I wasn't in corporate. My struggles were working a...

    Earlier in the year, I was looking into possibly doing a headstone cleaning business. Unfortunately or maybe a positive thing, it seems like the chemicals/cleaning solutions you use to clean headstones makes it so that headstones don't need to be cleaned much during the year. Otherwise, the...

    I don't typically read fiction, but I really enjoyed the Wool series by Hugh Howey. Initially, I found the books by starting to watch the Apple TV series. Which I highly recommend! It's called SILO. I finished season 1 and I couldn't wait for season 2 so I started reading the books. "From...
