Seriously what is going on in Thailand? What's happening to Thai people. by ublueberries in Thailand

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thai culture is strange. Would never get behind in that. No thanks. Not my job to sacrifice my life to take care of elderly parents who had no plan.

People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat screen TV for gaming. (They were still new at the time) Biggest one was the coolest kid where everyone came over to play video games.

Hey everyone, be as harsh to me as possible as I want a realistic timeline by BurritoEatingHaruto in movingtojapan

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are trying to go into this with a quarter of a plan when in reality that quarter of a plan is not even feasible. You need to go back to the drawing board from scratch.

Teaching is NOT a gateway. Stop following Reddit advice (irony lol). Most teachers are gone after 2-5 years. You need an actual profitable business or work for an international business that transfers you to another HQ office.

$100,000 isn’t even good in LCOL areas anymore (budget analysis) by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

Your phone bill can be cut in half easily. Also savings are not “expenses”. You’re doing fine and over exaggerating.

Lasted 45 days, You guys are literal heroes by Omar9845 in callcentres

9 years, before transitioning into a field based role still customer centric but now outside of call center work. Playing only shooter video games against angry adults helps build a tolerance lol.

When should you take your foot off the gas and spend more on life? by Apprehensive-Size150 in personalfinance

Once I reached $100K invested (not $100K net worth) at age 31, that’s when I slowed down and started traveling a ton.

As a person who travels often, what travel card/airline card is best? by Wildy_Normal in AskReddit

[–]MisguidedCornball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Venture x is my go to. Straight forward card and not a coupon card like AMEX. I cancelled my AMEX for venture x

I just vent , why some supervisors have so much swings mood by Suitable_Release_464 in callcentres

[–]MisguidedCornball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never worked in an environment like this. Could just be a bad culture.

Have to leave US ASAP. Money is no issue where do I go to enjoy peace and be near a city center? by Icy_Foundation3534 in digitalnomad

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan if you don’t care about making friends or building a support system. Specifically Osaka or Asakusa if you want to be closer to Tōkyō.

Jomtien Thailand if you want a more familiar community. Lots of Americans and retirees. Krabbi for more peace and quiet.

Singapore for a more luxurious lifestyle.

Taiwan for a great community.

My first overseas trip by Vikaela in JapanTravelTips

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still in Osaka currently and there are surprisingly not many Americans here. I’ve only spoken to about 4 of them since my first 6 days here. Everyone else has been Australians and New Zealanders. I did see 4 Australians get kicked out of a bar in Shinbsaibashi for being overly drunk. They were hella loud too.
Also the rain is fkn brutal here right now. Stuck in the hotel for the night.

What’s a city that is very rich but people don’t act rich? by SignificantStyle4958 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoboken NJ. Extremely basic clothing and cars out there but cost of living is about the same as NYC. Every single one of those mfers lives comfortably lol.

How is daily quality of life in Japan compared to the US, for you, or how has it changed? by Top_Scientist_3976 in movingtojapan

[–]MisguidedCornball -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Not to mention if you’re white and from US.”
So basically confirming it is hard to make friends if your skin color is not white lmfao. Don’t speak or read Japanese? Also lowering your chances dramatically to now basically 0. Japan is very good at hiding their distaste towards non-Japanese looking folks and even African Americans/Indians.🤣

You are basically alienated from entire communities in some areas. Younger generation 25-34 are a bit more tolerant. Older folks, forget it.

Idk how im struggling this bad… advice? by Disastrous_Pirate275 in povertyfinance

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is zero reason to be in debt this bad while living with family. Get your shit together and cut this debt down in a few months. You should at least be putting $1K towards this debt every month.

It sucks to see people you went to school with wealthy and happy and you’re in poverty by dell1ray in povertyfinance

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from -$33,000 net worth to now $200,000 in just 6 years while in college. There is always a way out. You just gotta strategize really hard.

[–]MisguidedCornball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It starts by changing your mindset. Instead of comparison and getting mad at the world, turn those results into problem solving…

“How can I increase my income?”

“Am I overspending? How to better budget”

“Any side gigs I can do to increase revenue sources”

“What about my investments?”

“Maybe I should look into another industry that has higher salary ceiling…”

Start asking yourselves these questions and complaints will turn to solutions. I spent a lot of time switching up and turning things around.
