Don't. I have spent the last 2 months buried in SQL and data for a project and would rather sell cars or my butthole at this point.

Just kidding. I'm grateful for a cold office and comfy chair and 42 hrs a week(usually 37) and just barely six figure salary.
Computer networking, development and analyst jobs are gonna be around for 40 more years. Not as fancy as engineering. But easier. Do it.

Don’t get married. You’ll be better off beating off.

My advice: Don’t allow anyone to make you believe that you are not responsible and accountable for your own actions, and don’t allow anyone to make you believe that you are owed anything that you have not earned.

I think the biggest problem with my generation and younger is that they think their actions have no consequences and that it’s someone else’s responsibility to take care of them.

Keep the video games under control. Or better yet, ditch them all together.

Don't be lazy.
Save money and invest wisely
Get a degree or job in something you want to do for 30 years.

we have done this thread a few times. My answer is always the same


Start saving money as soon as you read my post. I mean save anything you can. Even if its $100 a month. Just save it, dont touch it.


I basically started when I was 30. I wish I would have started when I was 16. You need a savings that you just never touch. Even if its a small amount.

Just learn to save and you will be glad you did when you are 52 like me

I bet my networth at 28 would be higher than yours at 45 because of your retarded take.

1) Save 25-50% of your monthly earnings at minimum while you're young, still living at home and have little to no debt

2) Learn to live each day spending less than 30 minutes on your cell phone

3) Discover the value of prayer

4) Read at minimum 1-2 books a month

5) Learn how to drive a manual transmission properly

K. Grats, baw.

Since everyone may not be as financially savvy and successful as an OT baller like yourself, I'd be willing to bet the advice would be great for a portion of young people today.

But, as you mentioned, I'm obviously mentally handicapped and am destined to catch the poor.

Or you could just teach basic finance and make people financially literate.


But your idea of falling to the least common denominator is easier.
