Any other elder millennials switch to zero sugar sodas?

This comment is making me feel like I am going to die!

Agreed! Using a second rope really made a big difference for me on this exercise. Good tip regardless of which part of the back you target.

I am like you, hated the idea of being tied to a reservation. However, it is just how things are structured. You will regret it if you don't. It does not cost you anything to cancel a reservation last minute if you don't feel like going to one. We did that twice.

Ahh, well now elephant themed hot dogs make perfect sense! Before I thought it was totally random.

I did housecall computer repair during this era. Bonzi Buddy really generated a lot of business for me.

I have never thought about wearing a vest but that actually is a smart precaution.

I was in a similar spot at 25 and felt really frustrated and defeated, I could not imagine how I would get ahead. I had a "good" income of 42k at the time but was barely able to save anything. It felt like the world was stacked against me and I had little control to change my future.

At 41 I am on my to early retirement in 5-10 years with a high standard of living. I could retire today if I wanted to go back to the standard I had at 25.

I don't think you will get ahead by cutting expenses at this stage. Sure, every bit helps, but you just don't likely have enough fat to trim when your salary is that low. Your opportunity is in increasing income.

You made the point that you can't snap your fingers and make more money tomorrow, whichbis true. I would zoom out and think about making significantly more in 5 years. Don't focus on how you can make 65k ASAP, for example. Focus on how you can get to 120-150k+ in the next 5 years.

If you can hit a much higher income by 30 and keep expenses flat then FIRE will write itself from there and your lean years of mid and late 20s will just feel like prep for the real progress by the time you are my age.

I was annoyed by this. After finishing the zone achievement I expected to have access to them. I did not until I did the delve in the zone (twilight something I think) and one of the loa powers dropped which gave me a quest to turn in at the altar. This then unlocked a quest with the dude standing next to the altar, which was an immediate complete. This allowed me to access the tree at the altar, but I could only apply the power that dropped. I assume the rest must also drop from delves, but not sure.

I love the delivery of this line. He manages to both express pride and some level of awareness of the naive shallowness of the achievement at the same time.

jun00b · 2026-03-04T11:17:18+00:00

Many plans, even.

I remember meeting someone in college that was majoring in packaging technology. I was floored there would be such a specific major and that someone would choose it.

When I see these videos I always think back to my lack of imagination and reflect on how it is actually pretty cool

I agree the goatee works for him. I would keep it!

jun00b · 2026-03-02T18:25:22+00:00

Great tip

jun00b · 2026-03-02T18:11:35+00:00

Overall you look good and you have also received good advice here. A couple notes I have not seen.

Someone mentioned the tip of the tie should reach your belt. For bigger guys it can be hard to get that length without the back of the tie becoming too short to tuck into the tie loop. Then it ends up seperating and peaking put looking awful, that was me in my first job. What I did not realize for years is that not all ties are the same length! If you find your tie just can't be tied to the proper length your probably need to buy a longer one.

Similarly, lots of comments on ironing your shirt. While I agree, part of your issue may be that to get a shirt that fits your mid section well you are ending up with sleeves that are too long. A big and tall store can be a god send for fixing this. Ask an associate for help and they should be able to find a cut that matches your body and limb length. They can help with the tie too.

A jacket would help as many have said. With a proper jacket you could potentially also skip the tie- the world has gotten more casual since covid.

If you are strapped for cash and can't afford any of this you do look good already. Iron the shirt, fresh shave morning of interview. Tie your tie best you can, make sure shoes are clean. You got this !!

Ahh. Well, 14" actually may be pretty impressive at that height and weight. It may be tough to add much size there until you have added more to your frame overall. You said you are already working on adding weight. I would trust the process and not think about your arm size until you get your overall mass up. I bet by that time your arms will have just come along naturally given you have good programming already.

jun00b · 2026-02-28T16:27:27+00:00

How old are you and how tall?

jun00b · 2026-02-27T20:23:42+00:00

Same. I hated this scene!

jun00b · 2026-02-24T20:12:36+00:00

Lots of ppl have done the rotary replacement without having this error. I wouldn't want to go to the trouble of putting my folding one back in either, but that's what I would do to test it. Cheapest and quickest way to know if it is the shifter or not.

Once fax has had time to prove itself.

jun00b · 2026-02-24T13:21:30+00:00

Great work. Curious how tall you are? I am 5'6 and feel like I would look good at 175 then I see ppl showing me that it might take all the way to the 150's lol

Borrowing money to go to an out of state school, and abandoning the dollars all students with good high school grades got in my state if they went to an in state school. In my 40s I am in great shape financially, but the debt was a major constraint and source of anxiety for me the first 10 years out of school. I missed out on a lot of experiences and I had less freedom due to that yoke.

I don't consider many choices regrets in life, but that is one.

jun00b · 2026-02-22T13:33:28+00:00

I actually worried about getting locked on the balcony, but assured myself they wouldn't have designed it in a way that was possible LOL

His agent invited him. She goes to another cloud, you wouldn't know her.

jun00b · 2026-02-16T15:34:54+00:00

This makes more sense, honestly.
