Don't Make A New Years Resolution

[Vigilante]

Happy New Year. Don't make New Years resolutions. Start today and aim to change your forever after. Your Mom is not here to tell you how awesome you are, and the only participation trophy you are going to get is the one you buy yourself.

Read this article, and while everyone else is buying Chandon and planning their hangover, you plan your future.

Coffee is for closers, and unless you have arrived, you should be intentional about breaking the trend. Slowlaners make New Years Resolutions, and break them by February. You don't need a New Years Resolution as you have the entire road map right here at the forum. You have everything you need to get to where you want to get to. So start. Let the losers nurse their hangovers on New Years Day. You pick a different path.

True, but still harsh.

The comments on the article are just cringeworthy and saddening.

51% of Americans make $30,000 or less per year. 76% live paycheque to paycheque. The top 0.1% makes more than the bottom 99%.
I'll stop complaining when that changes.
Trip to Paris? I'd love that. Let me know who can afford it..

Worthless article that takes an unrealistically individualist view that erases the plethora of ways our oppressive capitalist society works to keep people unhappy...

I hate to burst your bubble, but when you have bills to pay, it doesn't actually matter how much will you have. There's no way you can afford Paris. There just isn't. Realistically, you HAVE to fight to stop this system before it eats everything and then only the top 1-5% of earners can afford a trip to Paris and the rest of us are fighting for scraps. (Like paid sick leave, for starters)

Really, lol. Just can't wait until she has a child that's been vomiting and had diarrhea on her for hours, no sleep, has to drive to work and work a ten hour day or lose her job, and her babysitter just canceled and the daycare won't take the kid bc it's sick. Or heaven forbid she actually get sick herself. I don't believe it's my fault I have fibro, had cancer, have a myriad other health problems, have chronic sleep disorders, and have a deformed and damaged spine, but apparently that's all because I 'chose' it. LMAO No I really didn't. If most people who are suffering had a choice, they would not be suffering; we aren't doing it because we like it for pete's sake. I, like most people I've ever met, did the best I could under the circumstances I've been given. Is my life great? No. Do I wish it could have been better? Yes. Most of it my fault? Nope. Most people just don't want to admit they have control over almost nothing because it scares the sh*t out of them. All their hard work and their little five year plans, etc. can be ended by one unfortunate car wreck, sudden illness, unexpected death of a loved one or boss, etc. That's just life. You cope with it as best you can but you cannot bend the world or fate to your will, otherwise we'd all have won the lottery years ago.

Which is a good thing for people like us on here. These people are our customers/consumers. Without people like them, there is no fastlane.
