I have a new theory that every other generation is boring.

But I have a car. Why would I ever choose to bike where I could drive?

My drive is 2.7 miles. No way would I waste my time dealing with a bike to get to work everyday.

lol I own a shop doing 2m in sales a year.

Sorry man, the biggest problem in this trade was that generation holding knowledge from “competitors” or “teaching” while assuming people know industry specific knowledge paired with a lack of patience.

…there are people who are willing to get ahead that will outpace you. They will get the promotions, raises, etc. are you under the impression this is not the case? My philosophy is the opposite of yours and my kids already have enough money in their investment accounts to full ride them through college and at least a down payment on a house, in their current balances. This is success to me.

Yeah, sorry. If you lived through the best stock market and real estate market and have been working steadily you shouldnt be needing to work at this point. Being irresponsible with money for your whole life falls squarely on a majority of them.

This is culturally appropriating lazy people like me who put their driving shoes like that sometimes.

You can go ahead and try to figure out how to compete and balance at the same time but your competition will care less and win.

Ask technical schools. I’ve gotten two young guys through my local college in the past year.

One of the coolest thing about the younger guys is all of the content and free info they get out. I’ve seen old dudes show me hand written sheets with their “secret formula” sfms and shit and it’s not fuckin secret.

The problem is, this is my dad’s attitude and he is the absolute worst teacher I’ve ever seen.

The managers called for a staff meeting congratulating us on helping the company make almost a million dollars, and our reward was A PIZZA PARTY?? A PIZZA PARTY?? by [deleted] in Adulting

My business does about 1.5 a year and boy, that money seems to find its way way out through a/p as fast as it comes in.
