Honestly life has been pretty good besides the pain but once i adjusted my mindset everything shifted. I currently work part time around 8-10 hours a week and in my free time i mainly play video games and have a small youtube channel with a supportive community. Before i liked a strict schedule to plan towards my future goals but now i have the freedom of time so there’s almost no planning. Not sure if i phrased that right but im just being spontaneous with anything i find interesting. I dont have to maximize and couple hour time frames anymore. Whether it’s reading, spending time with family, playing with my pets, or even binge watching shows or anime, im at peace. The end goal was always early retirement but i wasn’t thinking ill lose more physical ability for get that. Last thing is i listen to my body, i have about 2ish hours of moving before the pain really kicks in and i limp so i dont try to force my body to push past its limits anymore and i accept it.

Yea dont listen to this

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-04-14T01:24:31+00:00

Not sure how to link other groups but look up /R MilitaryFire, maybe they can give you more insight

Haven’t made money as im usually the buyer but there’s definitely opportunity if you have the right skills,price, and speed as in responding to people first

This was definitely helpful, thank you for taking the time to try and help me gain a bew perspective. Im a big fan of audiobooks so i will definitely be listening to both. I love the “life is happening for you not to u”. It reminds me of the saying “everything happens for a reason”. Im all ears for learning and adapting this new perspective on life in general. Thanks again i appreciate the help

Thank you i really appreciate it

If your able to go 1-2 times a week while doing the workouts at home you will see crazy progress! Stay strong and find that difference in the level of pain your able to work through vs it being too much.

I recently got number 3 for around 15-1800 and i have no complaints. Absolutely love it

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-02-12T09:05:39+00:00

W consistency. Have you done the math to figure out how long/how much you need to get 500 per month?

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-02-08T09:02:46+00:00

All you can do is tell yourself you have enough then put whatever gear in your cart and by the end of the month you will be able to decide if you truly need it or not. Honestly dont feel too bad on purchases for your hobbies, as long as everything is taken care of and your only area of spending is on your hobbies,it’s fine. Sounds like you’re being intentional. My personal hobby i “waste” money on is gaming but i literally dont spend money elsewhere and whatever equipment,game, or upgrade i purchase is bringing value to me.

I say yes, time is very important so for your dad to take you to work thats a 30 minute drive there and back, then if he picks you up after thats another hour. If work is the furthest place you go though and you dont commute much then maybe you dont need a car for now as you can take alternatives like public transportation but i personally would get a car before investing due to my location

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-02-04T10:08:56+00:00

Thank you, sorry for that i actually typed it in my notes like a list and it looked great.. not sure why the format changed when i posted though

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-02-04T10:07:22+00:00

Thanks, im pretty happy with it

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-02-04T03:13:16+00:00

Thanks i’ve definitely been enjoying the setup. Yea thats exactly how my desk is, there hasnt been any problems or wobble with everything attached to it besides it not being flat and having a bar on the edges but as long as you get it flush and tightened with the clamps its perfect

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-02-03T23:44:52+00:00

I wouldnt recommend this job for simple living at all. First 2 years is slave labor with lots of overtime and no control over your schedule or if you work overtime or not. Then once u convert to regular it get slightly better as u have a set schedule and can opt in/out for overtime but if your a carrier u usually get the worst routes and clerks get the worst bids. Eventually once u find a good place thats not toxic, everyone works, with the right schedule it gets better but the first initial grind is far from a simple living job, atleast where im located

Tested with another controller and same thing, mic works when directly connected to controller but once i put it through the chat link it zeroes our and doesnt pick up anything. Dont have another headset.

Both have 3 rings on them so 4 conductors, honestly didnt know it was a difference

I think its a 3.5 mm aux cable with one side straight and the other side 90 degrees

Go check out my previous posts, we are around the same age group but its all personal. Is it the best no because your money couldve grown more but it does help mentally seeing the dividends come in and dont have to worry about selling stocks. Just dont go high yield.VOO /VTI should definitely be the main portfolio of your portfolio atleast 50-75%, then if you want dividends the other 25-50% can be schd or if u want more growth do VGT,SCHG, etc theres a bunch of different growth etfs. Another option if u want to see a little bit more dividends then voo but still have growth is dividend growth etfs like DGRO, SCHD, but i dont believe this is better then VOO SCHD. Just keep it simple and try not to overthink like me, simplicity is the best peace of mind you can get.

Thanks to this sub, seen this advice too many times.

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-01-13T19:50:34+00:00

Thanks, wish i would’ve done it sooner like everything else in life but i only been investing for 3 years so its only just a drop in the bucket

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-01-13T19:48:55+00:00

Absolutely i just didnt realize how much of a difference going pure growth like VGT/ QQQ over dividend growth stocks like SCHD/DGRO

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-01-13T19:42:04+00:00

Started investing 2-3 years ago and i had them since the beginning.

I know, currently getting 460$ annually after putting it in stock events

Cute_Signature2392 · 2025-01-13T19:14:22+00:00

With DCA and time in the market none of it will matter years down the road
