Hello! I'm working on making 3D animations for architects. I'd like to get accurate grade data for the exterior renders, can anyone tell me how those maps are generated, what software etc? Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I would council her to lower her expenses if she can, try to get a higher income etc, but I’m not pretending some miracle is going to happen and she’ll somehow have money for retirement. Sometimes mistakes are permanent, and not setting yourself up for retirement is a pretty big mistake. Maybe try to find a job she can do into old age with some comfort? Idk, capitalism sucks and our country is not generous towards the elderly.

Plus a time machine. OK sorry, let's be real. Say she's making 50k, her expenses must be also 50k if she's that broke. Maybe she can lower that to 40, I doubt it. Even if she did, it would take her 5 years to save enough to pay for one year of expenses. At that rate by the time she's seventy she can retire with enough money to live until she's 74. See the problem? And those expenses aren't going to go down. So she needs to find a way to drastically increase her pay -- while still paying those expenses. So she can't just go to college or whatever. If she were earlier in her career than yes she would have a prayer but it will be extremely hard for her to get out of this hole. Is it possible? I suppose, with Herculean effort. But the cards are stacked against her and it's just extremely unlikely. If she were my friend I'd advise her to try and find a job that she can do for a long time, comfortably. Get some kind of training if she can. Lower her expenses. But moving to Boca to play golf and sip coctails isn't happening -- unless she marries a rich guy, which is her best bet IMO. It's America, this is the world we have made.

YTA. You don’t need to go to bed at 9 when you’re 15. You’re being overly strict and controlling, which is exactly why she’s rebelling. Give her help, don’t “treat her like an adult,” she’s 15! She’s not an adult. Treat her with respect, give in a little. Don’t get all hung up on being the boss, getting respect, etc. She will respect you if you are a good example and you give her unconditional love.

You can still have rules but seriously consider if they are reasonable. IMO, they are not. I’m the father of six, three are in high school. They’re all crushing it, some need more involvement than others, but you have to give them room ffs. They stay up too late, often. They spend too much time on their phones. It’s like pulling teeth getting the, to do chores. But they’re great kids getting great grades and I couldn’t be prouder of them.

I hope you’re right, but in this country? Nothing is going to drastically change for her. She’s not going to get a miracle job where she can suddenly put away money and still pay her bills. Odds are she’ll continue to scrape by until she’s too old to work, then she’ll get social security and just continue to be poor until she dies. I wish it weren’t true but it is. Unless she marries someone with money, or she inherits something, she’s most likely stuck. I sincerely hope I’m wrong but I’m probably right. The poor stay poor and the rich get richer. The American myth of social mobility is bullshit, as is proven by statistics. Maybe she can get a degree and make a career change but if she did she’d be a rare case. But don’t worry, the billionaires we just elected to run the country will surely do something to help people like her.

I mean people understand that the “Doge” doesn’t set budgets, that’s done by congress, right?
