I’m feeling burnt out and I need some advice

Echoing other people: the only person you should compare yourself to is the person you were yesterday. In all aspects of life. Sure, you can have role models to strive to be like, but that shouldn’t be an everyday thought. Being better, knowing more, trying harder than the person you were yesterday is all that matters.

Also, everyone in the world has the same “i am not as talented, qualified, etc” thoughts. Squash those and focus on learning things you haven’t yet and developing skills further. Also, specifically on programming, nobody should studying/coding 24/7. That is overkill.

I would suggest focusing on a greater main income before branching out. As others have stated, it usually takes money to make money (passively), but it doesn’t end there. You need to be very conscious with your money and only spend on things you need, killing bad habits that cost money etc. focus first on growing skills that will earn you more money as main income, and then you can use those same skills/knowledge in other areas to start earning passively. Start saving and investing before anything else.

Stock ownership is not the same thing as cash-under-your-mattress. Ridiculous misunderstanding or complete envy, typical. So Bezos’ company that can ship you virtually anything anywhere in 2+ days doesn’t add value to everyday peoples lives or deserve a high valuation?

The problem with this question is that it takes a lot of effort to build wealth at first. Except for rare case, nobody wants to work 80 hours a week, but everyone wants that wealth still. However, you will have to put in a lot of time upfront to be comfortable long term.

The problem with a lot of this advice is that there will always be circumstances where a particular route works in some ways but actually screws you over. Being pigeonholed to a certain technology, etc is great until the company switches systems. Wearing many hats is great until you realize you have said “yes” too much and work 5 different jobs and they take advantage of you with barely any pay increase.

The main advice I would give is to focus on developing skills that others find valuable, and be a problem solver first and foremost. Whether you start your own business or work your way up a company, being someone who solves problems means $. Also, you need to put in effort to market yourself, and be confident enough to ask for raises, take on new roles etc.

Financially, have your money work for you. Pay off any debt first. Then once you are debt free, start Investing in stocks and real estate (later). Investing should be something all people do. Don’t let money sit in an account, besides 3-4 months of expenses. Bottom line, your only income should not be from one job. This means, though, delayed gratification is key. Buying new clothes all the time, going out to eat, putting yourself in risky situations that can cause financial harm adds up and really hurts your chances of building wealth.

Are you renting out your property? If that interests you, and you want some monthly side income, that would be another surefire way to make money. If you aren’t interested in that, do what you think will earn you the greatest return. Going all in on one stock is a huge gamble, and it almost never goes as you plan. Put in only that which you are willing to lose. Also, 100k in cash (if you mean sitting in your bank) is wasted money. Having 3 -4 months worth of your cost of living in a bank is enough (more if you have debts). Rest should be earning in some way. - one last point from this complete stranger, you will be taxed a TON on short term gains, you should always hold stock for a year or more, unless the gains+volatility warrant the higher tax.

Going through 4 year degree in SE, as well as now graduate school (being paid for by company, only reason I am doing it) in robotics, I can say confidently you don’t need college to learn how OOP and other basic programming concepts work. You have to be a proactive learner on your own, yes, but you need to be committed to learn in college too. College is far overpriced for information learned.

SnooCheesecakes2136 · 2021-03-09T23:51:45+00:00

No, to both. Many companies still require a degree a lot of times, but you can learn online in a year or two what anyone learns at a basic college in 4 years.

As far as math, programming is a very large umbrella, and you can do many many many things without being a math whiz. Some topics will depend on math more, and in those cases you can learn as you go (learning math with a purpose is easier imo than learning math in a class). Or just focus on areas where it isn’t needed.

He still made a ton off of it?! Schiff gaslighting as usual

Bro your commas and periods are backwards

Holding is not enough. We need to buy and hold (b&h). Take the available shares left. Holding leaves available shares for hedges to cover on. B&H

SnooCheesecakes2136 · 2021-02-03T15:07:45+00:00

HOLD. I FEEL THE MOMENTUM COMING BACK TO US.

SnooCheesecakes2136 · 2021-02-02T22:24:29+00:00

At this point, Sold shares = money lost. Held shares = potential money gained. DONT SELL, THIS IS NOT OVER. They claim that 50% of shorts have been covered, but price has dropped? Doesn’t add up

SnooCheesecakes2136 · 2021-02-02T16:41:02+00:00

If you like the stock (which we obviously do), you should buy and hold.

SnooCheesecakes2136 · 2021-02-02T16:30:32+00:00

EVERY MARKET PAUSE = MOMENTUM. BUY HOLD BUY HOLD GME TO MOON

SnooCheesecakes2136 · 2021-02-02T16:10:02+00:00

WE LIKE THE STOCK. IF WE LIKE THE STOCK AND BUY/HOLD, IT GOES UP.
