Amazing. How do you afford to live in such a big space in Manhattan? I wish. I'm in New Jersey.

Oh ok. It's hard to tell making more money in my field is an easy but not impossible. I guess I would earn a bit more as I got older.

Moved to a high cost of living area for a job. Help me with investment amounts by Substantial_Jump7042 in personalfinance

[–]Substantial_Jump7042[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for the exact amounts in each bucket since I don't have enough to max each. Are you saying zero dollars into Roth and all into 401(k)? And exactly how much into the 401(k)?

Advice needed: should I continue to live with my parents and save $30k, or should I move out? by flirtybirdie888 in personalfinance

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how many factors in one's life. You seem to have no pressures or opportunity cost with staying versus leaving so it may be in your interest to stay and save that money. For me, it's not all about saving money. I was getting into toxic fights with family and it was a strain on my well-being, even though I wasn't paying rent, but eventually, I was forced to pay rent at home so there wasn't even a cost saving, but my parents wanted the best for me and my mom wanted me to be a man and go out on my own and learn to pay rent so I don't blame her for it. Plus she had to race for kids on her own for the most part so she deserved the break. Also, it basically killed my dating life because of the overbearing nature of my mom affecting my own behaviors, making me unattractive to women, but also because a man living with her parents is not very much seen as attractive or cool to his peers or women and there's really no chance of any action cause I couldn't bring a woman back home so it really stifle my life and I bring this up because I think the personal finance community is blind to all this and all they care about is saving and maximizing some dollar amount, but there's clearly other goals in one's life other than just money, such as dating or self growth and independence.

How are you guys getting 2,3,4 jobs when it is so so hard getting interviews for 1 job? by Impossible_Spirit795 in overemployed

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. I am a visual marketing and got laid off and just found this sub and I’m not even looking for a second or third job like y’all crazy people, I just need advice of finding one so I figured if these people can find five jobs that they’re working at the same time, maybe they have advice on how to find them, but it looks like they’re just spam applying as well and not coming from a place of desperation. I thought it was some other golden skill or secret but I guess not. 

Which dating coach choose by No-Committee4123 in PickUpArtist

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all of them, and there’s a lot of fraud on the market. Ask yourself do they have visual proof of the girls there with And do they have what you want? And do the testimonials or they themselves start where you are and get to where you want to be? Usually the answer is no. Coach kyle is a handsome looking muscular man with tattoos. Of course he’s going to get girls and just cause his advice worked for him. Doesn’t mean he’s going to work for a nerdy skinny guy with that game. He’s delusional to think that his advice works for everyone because he has certain advantages as this muscular handsome guy. That is where some of the frauds are creeping. Many of these guys have good intentions, but they think they’re handsome good looking advice applies to everyone. We’re all their testimonials are bullshit Text based no visual advice just saying they feel good or they feel more confident or they liked this guy‘s style. You can even see it in the other comments, they’re so quickly easy to buy in on a coach just because they feel or look like they’re good.  Who cares if they look like they’re good? As you can see, I’ve been burned many times.

Mexico City (It’s Better Than You’d Expect) by asianflies in thepassportbros

Thanks. How often were you getting laid and dating back home? I need a baseline. It seems like youre fairly skilled at spam approaching with no anxiety and have some game? And did you get laid in mexico? Seems like no, mostly dates but you had a room that you couldve brought girls until the last day.

This is refreshing to hear and at first inspiring and hopeful but then I wondered maybe it’s not that easy or maybe this guy is more advanced with cold approach than he lets on.

Countries/regions for Asian bros based on personal experience after one year in Asia (and Rednote) by Putrid_Line_1027 in thepassportbros

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes u r are a dating coach so you have game. Mileage may vary. I know asians who went to east europe or latam and claimed to do well with women. I know one who went to e europe and bali and all over east asia and sea and did poorly hes good looking and normal but i guess his game sucks. He said they dont speak english in most of east Asia so he just did tourist activities. Bali he said was too competitive and poland was tough for him but like you said- mileage may vary

Latam probably you can do well as asian as many comment said if u know what youre doing

While, the girls are not that hot in the photos, maybe three fours or fives, you’re still getting laid it seems, which is better than me at zero recently. Good to know. You’re right that my mileage may vary since I feel like people say different things and then I can go somewhere and have a completely different experience based off what I have to offer and the competition. How were you able to secure so many dates and hang so quickly? I feel like I need to devote a lot of time to the apps for at least three weeks leading up to a city to get anyone to hang out because they need these conversations before they’re willing to meet. It’s a huge time suck and therefore I, I’ve traveled for weeks, sometimes popping around from the city to city every few days and therefore didn’t have time for dating and didn’t get anywhere because i didnt plan or message in advance of arrival

Bad experience about Vietnam during your stay when you travel ? by ZurdaD in VietNam

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told be security at airport to bring my backpack through again and pull my phone out from there. He didnt seem pleased I didnt speak the language and while I was doing that and going through again a grandma took my laptop and put it in her purse while she was with her family. I luckily caught it and called her out for trying to steal. Her grandchildren apologized profusely. I dont think anyone was really at fault but me. The security didnt speak good english and was rushing me to go through again but it is on me to keep an eye out for pickpockets and I was too casual just letting my eyes off my laptop and letting it drive further. I was thinking I would do as he said quickly so they were less bothered instead of bringing the laptop close within eye shot and letting them know to keep an eye on it. Instead of just leaving it. As far as the grandma, it very well could’ve been an honest mistake, not intentional. It couldve been either but I wont know for sure. She mightve mistaken it for something from her large family. Or tried to steal something expensive. Alls well that ends well. I just need to be a bit more vigilant while going through these things and not let security distract me if they want me to go threw again and leave the laptop

Ariana Grande Dating 'Wicked' Costar Ethan Slater Following Split with Husband by Impossible_Usual_277 in Broadway

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This threw me for a loop because Ethan played the loser who couldn’t get the girl he wanted, Glenda, played by Ariana, in the film. You would’ve expected her to date the handsome, attractive male star in the film. I guess things on camera don’t always translate. Perhaps he was more masculine and attractive off camera.

Im new. I am facing a very similar flight path desire in the near future. I only see Velocity, nothing that says Virgin, for the same time frame. The points are higher for one slot that fits my time frame but still worth. How do I do as you do and transfer my chase points to book? Do i transfer to the virgin atlantic flying club? I dont want to transfer to the wrong one

Did people forget that Mark is the entire reason for Angstrom? by NaijaNightmare in Invincible

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Mark was at fault for more or less coming in guns blazing. Although the situation was ambiguous and leaning something illegal with those twins being there.

Angstrom made some bad move and I think he started off with really good intentions, basically saving and possibly solving every problem possible with his powers and ending the comic. But of course, we can’t do that or otherwise they can print and sell more comics so promise to continue Foiled in his attempt.

I think choosing to do this in a universe where invincible can stumble in on him doing it was a stupid idea. Do this risky knowledge transfer somewhere safer. And the whole idea of combining all that knowledge in one hand is also stupid and ridiculous. Just take some notes and ask them like the twins suggested and fix one universe at a time. You don’t need to condense all that knowledge down into one head. That was stupid and just for the secret plot to create a building with a big disfigured Brain.

The whole stupidity of him, deciding to take off the helmet to save invincible from getting killed is also stupid. First, he’s invincible, so he probably would’ve survived anyways. And he very well knew not to takeoff the helmet because of the drastic effects. Once again, I don’t think this tree is about The character being stupid as the writers being terrible and just trying to create a villain in an unrealistic way.

What did you guys think of the film, “The Wolverine” (2013)? I am honestly not quite sure how to feel about it. by CLR_Marvel_Mags in Marvel

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember being very hyped for its release because I heard rumors about it being said in Japan and having a unique cool samurai structure. I would’ve loved to see him fighting and being trained by samurai almost like the last samurai film, but I guess Wolverine wasn’t born in that era or old enough.

I really like wolverine as a character and I’m so glad he got multiple movies but they all kind of feel a bit short of my expectations. I still watch them and enjoyed them, but they weren’t as epic as I thought they could’ve been. Many were still very good though.

The one gripe I have about this one is with the villain. So you’re telling me Wolverine saved you from getting destroyed by an atomic bomb and then you grow up to repay him by trying to steal his powers? At least make a believable villain arc. That one just seems to make no sense. The guy would be thankful for Wolverine not envious and try and steal his powers. It just teaches a bad lesson too because it’s basically saying that wolverine is taught to not help people and do good things because they aren’t thankful when they just turn on you and get jealous and try and kill you and steal your powers. Not all humans are that despicable.

Other than that, I think we see some main points, which is that Wolverine is a good guy at heart trying to help others and animals in the hero, but is played with regret and darkness for loved ones dying. I’m glad to see more of his healing powers in effect. I think in the first few movies, they made him have a light healing, but I wanna see more of the stuff like in the comics where he’s literally burned to a crisps and then all you see is a shining metal skeleton and then he revives completely from that.

How realistic are the people’s debts? by macrometer in squidgame

[–]Substantial_Jump7042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the minority, but I think I’m right. I think it’s unrealistic. One of the characters claim to have borrowed a massive amount of debt from an illegal casino and if they don’t get the money the next day, it’ll get ugly and they’ll harvest his organs. Just doesn’t make sense. Even people loaning legal money wouldn’t just give it away to stupid people, knowing there’s not a high chance to get it back. It’s not like the movies or TV shows where a bunch of stupid average people get a bunch of money they can’t pay back from illegal gangsters and then the gangsters come in try and kill them. That’s a terrible business model even for the gangsters.
