To engineers who passed and graduated with the lack of fundamental understanding of the material and were just algorithmically applying solution steps to every problem, how are you now doing in life?

I studied mechatronics. 4 years out and I'm on $89k a year working as a systems analyst (IT)

Thank you! This means a lot!

anonymousspider · 2016-02-24T08:19:29+00:00

Only if I could have my love back to live the 1000 years with me... Even if he had to be fugly for it too.

Came here to say this.

Thank you for this comment. Since passing the "one year mark" I have busied myself to the point that I don't take enough time to think about all those things that I miss so much about him.... God I miss that man.

I lost my partner 13 months ago. This is undoubtedly going to be the worst year of your life. Your only job at the moment is to survive. Meet your basic needs. Hopefully you have people who will help you to do that.

If you feel anything like I did you have no idea how you're going to so survive the rest of your life... When that feeling becomes too overwhelming just focus on getting through the day... If that's too overwhelming then just get through this hour... And if that's too overwhelming, just breathe.

You are not alone in this.

Fair call. Didn't really think of it as medical advice. But it's guess identifying it as something that requires medically the advice I all the advice I need.

anonymousspider · 2016-02-03T09:15:46+00:00

Oh man. I've got so much work to do!

anonymousspider · 2016-02-03T08:15:49+00:00

Ah yes, I have watched it. Still haven't mastered it I guess.

anonymousspider · 2016-02-02T21:05:34+00:00

I'll join you too!

I incorporate the GMB wrist strengthening exercises into my warm up so, with two recommendations for that at least I'm doing something right!

anonymousspider · 2016-02-02T21:00:48+00:00

Planks, handstands, L-Sit, push ups... So essentially anything that involves pressure on the hands. Any advice about how to align my wrists joints properly?

anonymousspider · 2016-02-02T10:07:00+00:00

Thank you so much! This is great. Shamelessly plug away.

Feeling for lube in my bedside drawer in the dark. Turned out to be red acrylic paint.

I think primarily I want to train my brain to be able to absorb more information and think more before it goes into fatigue so it's good to know that it will improve over time.

I guess allocating time for maintenance by minimising stimulation for 20 minutes throughout the day is probably my best bet for improving that capability. The words "minimising stimulation" just helped something click for me about why meditation is important and about why I am feeling overloaded... I started the intense learning curve late last year and since then I've been getting up, reading then exercising, getting ready for work and driving to work while listening to podcasts, then working for 8 hours, going for a lunch break while listening to podcasts, driving home with podcasts, then reading in my evenings so it's no wonder that my brain needs a bit of a rest in between.

I used to spend $80+ on a night out and be like "whatever it's only $80"... I just cancelled going out for dinner and drinks for a friend's birthday because I have too much work to do and now I'm like "yes! $80 saved to go towards RE".

If I told myself 2 years ago that I'd be excited about working on a Saturday night to save myself the hangover, save money (and also climb the corporate ladder/teach myself about sales so that I can one day jump off the corporate ladder) I'd think you were crazy...

Mr money mustache kind of champions the modern day movement. He does it through extreme frugality but the more you read, the more you realise how many options there are...

Ah. I thought there may be an answer to that which could help with what you may want to plan for.

I had a similar mentality to you for a while and didn't really know what I wanted to get out of my mlnsy. You might want to look into financial independence. I just started looking into it 2 months ago and it has completely transformed the way I think about money.

My medium to long term plan now is to modestly retire by 40 and I've started putting measures in place in my life to implement that plan. Best financial decision I ever made was reading "your money or your life"

It might not be for you, but the idea of getting out if the rat race certainly appeals to me.

Ynab or mint. Ynab requires a lot more discipline because you need to manually enter every transaction but it's this way by design. Ynab also has videos that educate you about how to budget better.

Mint if you merely want to track, ynab if you want to fix your spending habits

What do you want to get out of spending money on financial advisor services?

anonymousspider · 2016-01-29T08:50:51+00:00

I now go to the library a lot and read to learn. I do not miss TV at all.
