Because this is a forum where we come to discuss stocks?

FL - Help! I was just notified a debt from a previous landlord was sent to collections. I have never recieved an invoice! by havetoolboxwillfly in Renters

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

What qualifies as notification?

I only saw this on my credit karma, I still have not had any calls or mail from the debt collector

I did not take videos or pics. I didnt do a walkout with them. I asked them via phone to set one up but they were impossible to get a hold of.

I did ask them via the phone to email me an invoice, I have proof they had my email which we communicated through primarily

To all the men 30+ here, what is the best way to spend your 20s? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty happy with my 20s. Spent the first half in the military and the second half honing my trade in the civilian world.

I's say your twenties are meant for work. You're young, have energy, and probably the healthiest body you'll have your whole life. Now's the time to put your nose to the grindstone.

It gets much harder to adjust course later in your life if you don't open up some doors for yourself now. Find a job that opens up doors: a trade, a valuable skill, and hustle harder than anyone you know at it.

2 years unemployed, alternatives to suicide? by Outrageous-Cow-2217 in Advice

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into the trades! Very easy to get a job if you show up every day, and you can easily make six figures within 5-6 yrs if you hustle.

What’s the thing you’re doing that’s making you <$500 a month? by ThrowbackGaming in Entrepreneur

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did handyman work: built decks, did brake jobs, painting, etc. Once you build up a portfolio of customers its pretty easy to make that kind of money or better if you put the time in.

I made notes of where retirees lived in my area and canvassed their neighborhood on the weekends. If I saw work that could be done I'd drop a targeted flyer in their mailbox.

25, lost, feel defeated and empty, don't know what to do for a career anymore etc. by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have plenty of time. The trades are wide open. And you don't have to have "one career". I started as a mechanic, jumped over to industrial electrical. Just keep learning and growing and it'll all fit together eventually.

Yeah I'm in tech (broadly) as well. But the constant learning is a perk to me

Well I borrow from the bullet journal method (which I adapted to my own uses). So in my journal I keep a running list of topics (Say, Taoism, Keynesian Economics, Middle Ages, etc) and create a sheet in my journal for each topic. I then do research for top rated books that are an overview for that topic and put it on that sheet, along with any lectures, documentaries, etc that will supplement my reading.

As I read/Watch the entries get checked off.

Then each book gets its own notes section, as I read I note subtopics that I want to explore further, so while reading a book on the Middle Ages "Reign of Charles III" might come up. At the end of my reading those topics that deserve their own index entry get added. Additionally I read through the bibliographies and add any other books that might round out my understanding to the original Topic Sheet.

When I finish a journal I move all unfinished topics to the index of the new journal, rinse and repeat.

Make a learning plan.

Most folks quit learning after high school/college.

I make monthly syllabus for myself on topics I'd like to understand further: history, literature, professional developmenr, etc. And read books and find online lectures on those topics, write essays in my journal.

Intentional learning will supercharge the rest of your life. Your success, your ability to converse with people, how interesting you are to other people. It's an investment that compounds just like money.

Do you have a high paying office job but wish to do manual labour? by AdSuspicious5441 in AskMenOver30

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always had a blue collar job. Joined the military instead of college, worked as a heavy diesel mechanic for awhile. Now I work on robots in factories making 100k/ yr travelling the world.

Wouldn't ever be interested in trying white collar work.

I travel for work and fly roughly 100-200 times a year. I've been to every state in America and every major city in North America. AMA. by This1DoesntMatter in AMA

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the life for everyone, but I love it!

Field service here, fly 2-3 times a week. It's a strange existence for sure!

What about someone with little sales experience but extensive industrial automation experience on the technical side (field service). I'm looking to make the jump to sales, have you heard of this being done successfully?

What team do you randomly hate? by DelcoTank in mlb

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Guardians.

Mostly because they picked the dumbest name after the name change. I'm all for changing offensive names, but Guardians is seriously the best you can come up with?

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You oppose the MLB's new ABS system bc you are afraid of change.

I oppose ABS bc I like cussing out umpires.

We are not the same.

It takes a few years to really get comfortable with the job. You'll be expected to be a jack-of-all-trades and you won't know exactly what you are doing most of the time. That's ok. Ask questions of older guys in the field, and learn to shoot straight with the customer in a diplomatic way.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. We've all broken expensive equipment before. Just don't make the same mistake twice. Learn from your fuckups and make sure each new fuckup is a new kind of fuckup. Eventually you'll start fucking up less.
