All of this is easily achievable to most everyone if they plan for the future and don't live for today.

Look, don't think the big corporations that own this country and world didn't lobby to have civics and economics removes from lower education curriculums for no reason.

Keeping their workers in debt and dependant on shitty jobs has been the single most profitable decision these people have made since the harnessing of electricity.

Everyone in the OT has three of these

Essentially all of those are in the works at varying levels. Some are maybe 10% there, others 75%, a couple check the box for 100% but it's ever expanding. I am mid 30s and within 10 years, I should be able to check every box and closing out number 3 and 13 by then.

Yea I’m not even going to bother reading your list

Doesn't your dog have his own private human mattress?

I’m good on the vast majority of those items; I didn’t see anything about Libertarianism, Veganism, or CrossFit participation though….

List is shite.

Where are the hookers and blow?

Should already be factored into the budget if you're not an LOL poor.

I had some of these, but then had to relocate for work and buy a house in a “hot market” with high interest rates. Now my family’s only hope of financial independence is my untimely demise.
