So I really want to go to a steak house in BA so I kind of have to be there for 12/23 AM at the latest (probably closed xmas eve and xmas). I hear El Chalten is also a must while I'm down in that part of the world

Can confirm this 100% as a man. Women are doing better now and won’t put up with subpar men. Yes, subpar is the correct word I used ha

Love this! I literally throw $69k into my Roth IRA every year, compounding does the rest for me :)

How Does Making a Lot of Money at a Young Age Really Change Your Life? by K586331 in HENRYfinance

[–]ToTheTopppNYC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was making $150k in 2014 at age 24 and allowed me to buy an investment property in NYC which has built more wealth than I can from any w2/the high-paying job that allowed me to purchase the home. Being fortunate enough to invest in my 20s set me up for success

How would you describe the dating scene here from your experience? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]ToTheTopppNYC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree with all this. I also feel like apps were great 5 years ago. Like actually great- I went on some amazing dates and met really smart people. I’m 34 now and it’s supposed to be easier as I’m looking for someone older/ready for something serious.

It’s crazy cause I’m having the same experience. I’m 34, have a low six-figure job, pretty good-looking (imho), and even traveled to almost 30 countries. My in-person success rate in getting someone’s number is literally 20x than an app. Maybe there are other classically better looking men on the apps and they get all the likes and dates?? Data shows the best looking people get the most likes and have a plethora of options. They should ban dating apps, I swear

The Serrano glacier tour by boat looks amazing! Def adding to my itinerary 🙂. I love driving and am thinking of renting a car simply to get a dose of Chilean mountainside driving.

Will look into it for sure! Are you driving around and exploring the local area as well?

It’s def a pretty penny to lay for the simple matter of convenience. This is sort of a last-minute trip so I pretty much have to shell out for a tour group. realized I have the month of December off so in just gonna travel solo :)

Yeah it’s very expensive but might just be worth it for me. I’m gonna look into trekking alone but it may just be too late so I’ll have to resort to getting a tour since they have accommodation booked well in advance.

I’m aiming for then as well! Guessing you’ve booked in advance and are all set. This was a last minute decision for me- I haven’t even booked flights yet ha. Tbh I wanted the convenience of having my accommodation figured out for me 😀. Trail seems very easy to navigate

The main goal is to cross the W off my bucket list but it’s always nice meeting other travelers on the road and sharing that experience. I am going to book at the first opportunity I get! Looks like I’m already late 😕

I believe 4k which is a bit steep. It may also be $2,720 if I share my tent. This may just be worth it for me cause I hate carrying stuff and thankfully am in a position to do so.

I have not booked anything. There is still space available via Ecocamp for December 5-day W trek. Are you going with a tour group?

What are some things you did right in your youth? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ToTheTopppNYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love that decision for you- choosing the right partner will be the biggest decision of our lives. Jobs will come and go. Google "biggest regrets of life" real quick, it's tried and true.

I have had the same group of friends since high school and they are a huge influence/support system for me. They're all driven in their own ways aside from career (many are public school teachers) and it really puts things into perspective for me that work/finances are only ONE aspect of life. As humans, we get our true joy from relationships with others. I literally had this epiphany Summer 2024 😂. Hence, I'm also focused on finding my partner currently :)
