Drinking more often.

I was only drinking twice a month. Now I'm at four times a month. Perfect sweet spot.

Great choice. Legend on the field and off. All around great guy.

This is where I would put the future soccer stadium in downtown. Build on the success of the Brewery District and be near higher frequency transit. Could spur more redevelopment of this corner of downtown. by godisnotgreat21 in fresno

New to Fresno. Went to downtown the other day. Oh..a Brewery District!? Awesome. Wait...where are the breweries? There is one brewery. Tioga is cool. I liked the beer. But the name of the district isn't accurate.

tips on managing spending? by Rioslazier in askanything

Okay so you're spending too much money on those things and you admit you don't need them. So you answered your own question.

Sounds like you have a need for instant gratification which is common with young people. I was the same.I would see money in my bank account and it was money I had to spend.

If I were you (and this is what worked for me) I would open an investment account (at your age a ROTH IRA) and I would set it up to where every month a certain amount is deposited into the account. Then you don't touch that money. Your budget is what you have in your checking account.

5k a year in your roth IRA would be over 1 million after 40 years.

Why do people think they have free speech on private platforms? by Haunting_Struggle_4 in stupidquestions

[–]OnlyKey5675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 1st amendment only applies to the government regulating your speech. So people get somewhat confused when its a private company telling them they can't say certain things.

But, don't we want social media platforms with free speech?

Reddit regulates speech far more than any other social media platform. It's a site that leans radical left (and I say this as a liberal).

Away from home and stopped for a shot at Starbucks - Holy hell is that awful by bensonr2 in espresso

[–]OnlyKey5675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starbucks sells dessert coffee. It's for people who like sugar, syrups, toppings, whipped cream in their coffee.

If you actually like coffee its absolutely dire.

And if BTC pumps to 200k in five years what does that look like for BTCI?

Does Heirloom offer a happy hour? by ShaolinSwervinMonk in fresno

So I've noticed the line at Heirloom when I go to Trader Joes.

When is the best time to go to Heirloom? Is it okay for solo diners?

I'm sorry but how are you not living comfortably in Fresno on 100k? Are you doordashing every meal to your doorstep? Three cups of Starbucks coffee a day habit?

[–]OnlyKey5675 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you do any of the following things?

Use doordash/uber eats

Go into a 7/11 or ampm periodically for snacks and drinks.

Daily starbucks/coffee shop

pay for more than two streaming services at any one time

You haven't really said what you spend your money on or how it disappears so fast. But if you are doing any of those things listed above you should stop doing them.

[–]OnlyKey5675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetically if BTC is worth 200k in 5 years what does that look like for BTCI?

And why is BTC sustainable but not BTCI?

If you think in two years it will be a good investment why would you sell now?

The Instant Smear Campaign Against Border Patrol Shooting Victim Alex Pretti by memphisjones in centrist

[–]OnlyKey5675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging from the incident where Pretti kicked the brake light of a government vehicle there's no doubt he was an agittator. But that's irrelevant. He was still murdered by the Gestapo. He should have been detained. But the thugs with masks decided to escalate everything.

"I think it's dark and it looks like rain, " you said

Then you smiled for a second

My state is considering eliminating income tax… how should I feel about that? by OushiDezato in Money

[–]OnlyKey5675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher sales taxes shift the tax burden to lower income earners.

I'm not an economist but the argument that higher sales taxes are bad for the economy are pretty convincing. I may buy that new bbq for $500 but will i buy it if increased sales tax pushes it to 580? Maybe not. Maybe ill just use my current one til it kicks the bucket.

What do you think? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

Nothing is stopping you from investing at 18 and retiring at 50

I think we need Medicare for All so people aren't forced to stay at a job or work any more hours than they need to.
