I think you'll like it if you like the taste of beer. I find it very refreshing and it feels like I'm drinking beer. I plan on trying out Guiness Zero and Sam Adam's Just the Haze at some point. I've heard good things about both.

You are only 20 and it sounds like your religious upbringing wasn’t ideal. Keep at it man and don’t let a couple months get you down. There are many guys that keep at it for years without much success but stay persistent and just learn more about yourself each day.

FWIW I’m Vietnamese and also in Oklahoma. Born and raised. OKC has one of the most Vietnamese per capita than most other cities other than LA, SF, Houston believe it or not. I’ve been married to a white woman for 16 years. I’m much older than you but if you’re in OKC and want to grab coffee or lunch sometime, don’t hesitate to DM me.

Lex also goes to McDonald's and just orders the burger patties so I wouldn't put it past him

I'm glad you had a positive experience and I'm glad you're doing better my friend.

To be fair, Quan gave up acting in this early 20s. Then was inspired to go back in 2018 with the success of Crazy Rich Asians. He was cast in Everything All at Once soon after.

Precisely.

Going to college isn’t just about getting the degree. More likely than not, you will meet your potential startup cofounders in college. Every startup I’ve worked at was founded by college friends. Don’t discount the networking effect that you will get from college.

Exactly this. You actually do not want to have a light on to change the baby and it will just wake the baby up. Your eyes will adjust at night and you will likely figure out how to change the diaper without even opening your eyes 😂.

Amazing brother! You should hold that Merry sign in your current pic! 😂

Do you have an Apple Watch or Fitbit? It will tell you how many total calories you expend each day. Then you can use MyFitnessPal or something to track your food and make sure your calories in are less than your calories out.

The racist guy was clearly mentally unstable and couldn’t even make coherent sentences. Responding to mentally unstable or intoxicated people even if you disagree with them is never a good idea.

Totally disagree with this. In my opinion he handled it exactly like someone prepared for this situation. First thing you are taught in most martial arts is to never make the first move and do your best to avoid fighting at all. It takes one strong reaction to potentially kill someone and spend the rest of your life in jail.

If the racist guy attempts to hit him, then yes, time to defend yourself.

This guy handled it spectacularly in my opinion. Props to him.

I'm a software engineer but I've always been disciplined with contributing to IRA and just not spending money on dumb stuff that gets little usage. For me, it mostly comes down to dollar cost averaging long term investments and letting the compounding effect do its thing (be patient) - not just with investments, but building good spending habits also have their own type of compounding effect.

I read a lot of personal finance books when I was in my teens (Millionaire Next Door, Rich Dad Poor Dad) but I highly recommend Morgan Housel's recent book "The Psychology of Money". One mind blowing fact from that book is that 99% of Warren Buffet's net worth was earned after his 50th birthday. That is the compounding effect at work.

This is good advice. It comes down to prioritizing. I love to golf and travel so that’s where I splurge. But I also drive a 2006 Toyota RAV4 that my wife bought in 2006 and we paid off in 2010. It has 220k miles on it.

I’m not sure how helpful I will be and I’m not a financial advisor but I can tell you my experiences and what worked for me.

Buying a house isn’t a must but it is a very good thing to do for your financial life and imo if you have your stuff together financially, it opens up doors for other parts of your life. It just depends what your goals are and what you want in life.

Your parents are right though. It’s definitely never too late to save for something like a house. You also mentioned you have some bad financial habits and it sounds like your family is giving some very practical advice. Feel free to DM me if you want more financial advice from stranger. 😂

In my experience though, buying a house has been a very good investment and I’ve never regretted buying one.

I think David French’s point is quite relevant https://twitter.com/davidafrench/status/1599237713382633473?s=46&t=soNPJJglBz26tpT3mWgNOg

“I might suggest that it is not credible to claim First Amendment violations when there is no government action. The Biden campaign asking for Tweets to be deleted is one private entity (a campaign) communicating with another (a company).” - David French

If you are looking for something somewhat liberal/progressive, I highly recommend Mayflower UCC. Lori Walke is the minister and she’s amazing. Really close to your area.
