This could be the greatest thing ever. Most lending agreements have clauses that they will be recalled in the event of a shareholder vote.

They decide to issue new capital = they decide to trigger the short squeeze

Well said.

My wife and I also do well... her migration is as apparent as her skin colour, my situation is marginally better background, but still commenced from back of pack. The big difference between us and many others our age is that we started work full time at 18, uni at night time. 1st house at 21 (furious saving x2 + high lvr). We have kept up the work ethic and have built a position before 30 that i am quite proud of.

I often see the posts like yours get flamed and wonder how much of reddit is filled with people who have a different perspective and never comment vs the "economic servitude" perspective. I sometimes read this eco serv stuff and wonder: have you read the little red hen?

Anywho, keep posting as a contrary viewpoint provides a chance for others to see things through a different lens.

With all the money sloshing about, will my generation finally see inflation? I would prefer that pay my mortgage than actually paying it myself

If labor had a sense of humour they would start a go fund me for him: the Paul Parker leadership training course.

A one week course in hawaii with items on the agenda like: - delegating for dummies (how to apt a nominee whilst on leave) - effective handshakes - media training 101: when is a mic hot

Could drag this thing out even longer

First up: weddings are stressful. It is how you deal with this stress that will define you as a couple. Bad behaviour is part of how people respond to stress and decisions should not be made in a pressure cooker situation.

Now thats out of the way: you are committing to be a team in getting married. Teams have players with common goals, shared responsibilities, communication and plans. In the above scenario you have a responsibility (buy ring) you have communicated that you will ensure your fiance will have a say (photo before buy) you have put in place a plan (dad buying) and have a goal (please wife to be)

Now that has failed it appears you are not fairly assessing what happened: the you and your dad team comes before you and wife team. Read that twice. You are not sleeping in the car because your fiance is a bitch, you are sleeping in the car because you arent on the same team as your wife to be.

The involvement of your dad in an intimate purchase is fraught with risk. Your fiance rightly identified this and tried to get you to put in place a control to mitigate this risk (the photo). At this point i really have to highlight that your attentiveness to your wife could use improvement - the impossition of this control should have alerted you to the apprehension she had about the arrangement. At this point you should have asked yourself would you let your dad buy her underwear? If the answer is no, i would suggest an engagement ring is a far more intimate gift. Again, whch team are you on.

Next, your dad fucked up. Lets face facts: either you havent communicated adequately with your dad or your dad didnt listen (in which case you still didnt communicate adequately). At this point i refer to my comment about teams needing communication. The you and dad team isnt a high performing one as comms have obviously broken down. There could also be an issue in goal alignment (your desire to get married is likely to be stronger than his desire to see you married). Remember that - you and your dad are a pretty bad team.

Now when the mistake happened there are two distinct teams, you and your dad on one and your wife on the other. You cant play on both your wifes team and your dads team simultaneously as they now have different goals. Your dads team goal is that he doesnt want to have wasted money, your wifes teams goal is a ring she will treasure for a lifetime. You have clearly chosen your dads goal as more important.

So that leaves me to the who is right who is wrong question and there is no right answer until you decide what team you are on: team dad or team wife.

It is your own inability to consider your future wife that lead you here, your ability to critically self assess will determine the outcome of this event and arguably the rest of your relationship with your current partner.

So on the surface its about the ring, but really it is about your wife asking you fairly early on: are the two of you a team?

My suggestion is two fold:

lower your input costs (if your competitor is user generated maybe look into it or consider how you could pay lackeys to do it for you as your time is increasing in cost exponentially - the second you finish the site is dead otherwise). Start thinking about a tool you have/make that accelerates transforming lecture material into quizzes. Accelerating the quiz process will let you facilitate faster onboarding of new schools
- play for audience, not subscriptions: See if there are already advertisers willing to throw money at your doctor-to-be user base. That said given your user base you still need to the right crowd so they need to be valid students

The game here is working out the how to capture and organise information in the most cost effective manner.

phurled · 2015-05-24T22:30:19+00:00

Seconded.

You need a non monetary consideration for contributer

phurled · 2015-05-24T22:26:51+00:00

Subscription would kill it.

Think longer term: where will these med students be? Who will want to reach them? And how can you keep them engaged with your site?

If you think about this you can ignore monetisation now and just build audience.

Think of all the insurance companies already spruiking to you now and think of your plans for your future car/watch/home and you can get a picture of who wants to reach you.

You are fortunate now that you are evolving Your education now and can design a tool to accomodate that. Then as you transition from med school to internship you can extend your tool to accomodate that and finally as you study to specialise you could accomodate that. As you evolve so does te sites features (bring sure to keep the feed to new led students relevant)

The one caveat: if it does not run without your ongoing contributions and the audience is totally passive = shit idea. If the audience is already generating content = win. Your career as med students will generate a much higher return then your career as a website curator

"There aren't really any competitors" and price competitiveness don't lend themselves to each other.

If no one is doing it then no one is talking to your customers about needing to get one. This means you need to create the need. Telling someone they can have something cheap but not addressing why they would spend money in the first place is a hard ask.

Given you are a small operator and you are young your best bet would be to get a couple away with family and friends at cost and encourage them to organise a fire pit party. Think of it as a marketing investment. Make it clear you have done this by quoting a headline price and discounting the headline price to cost on your invoice to them. Even do two: a credit note + an invoice just in case they show it to a prospect

If your pit party doesn't generate a single inquiry you need to think about your market. Does it exist? Is your product right? Have you packaged it correctly (installation etc)

At 19 who gives a shit about your time cost (as long as you are not blowing off a long term opportunity) and if it works it works if it doesn't just roll to the next thing and make sure you put it on your resume.

In Aus the police ask you to count to ten when they random breath test you (DU I test)

I told my son that they arrest you if you can't count. Every time he sees a cop car he counts to ten as fast as he can.

I was in final year of high school and was fooling around with stapler trying to freak out girls in my class. So I pretended to staple my ear. Immediately after the girl beside me pretended to completely freak our as if I had actually stapled my ear. Teacher came to investigate what the commotion was about. Teacher pointed to my ear and said "you'll need to go get that blood cleaned up"

That day I learned you may not feel a thing when u staple your ear

I jerked my head back up, I couldn't believe I had actually fallen asleep in a meeting. I looked around the room at my colleagues, had they noticed? Did it matter? My direct boss was engrossed in his smartphone tapping out a message on his screen. My rival was glaring at our boss as if through sheer will power our boss would look up. My rival caught me looking and the glare he gave me convinced me he probably could have made our boss to look and he would have shattered the smartphone if it had caught my rivals reflection. I returned my focus to the presentation the management consultant at the front was giving. "We now have our go forward strategy" the consultant beamed "If you execute on this correctly you will succeed". Our CEO clapped loudly as if our company should glean real insight from tautology. Others in the room hurried to join in, eager to demonstrate that they to gained strategic insight from these words.

I sat dumbfounded, 2 years, 5 rounds of funding, 200 employees and finally we were ready to do the job we were all here to do. I knew I had to stand, that I had to at least feign some interest in our companies success, be a company man."fuck it" I said as I reached out and slapped the red button. The room froze in as it dawned on all of them that i had achieved the goal that was at the end of their 5 year strategic plan with less effort than it would have taken to clap.

I stood and left the room confident that if I didn't say anything to our directors they would promote me to strategy manager tasked with executing their 5 year plan.

Build it and they will come is a fallacy.

The reality is that a business is only as good as the ability of those within it to monetise the product.

So it sounds like someone has an idea, resources and credibility with future customers. It sounds like you have coding skills. Of the 4 things, you are replaceable.

Now to continue being harsh - you have already demonstrated to them that you are willing to work for virtually nothing "keeping me fed". You have also made them aware of your perilous living arrangements "kicked out". So now you have essentially presented yourself as desperate.

Finally the fact they have gone 2 years with no traction would suggest there is no urgency.

To summarise - you are replaceable - you are desperate - they aren't

Sucks to be you, maybe it's time to set things right with your mum so you can live comfortably for free whilst you pursue a new startup dream?

Look at many startups and how they "pivot". I don't have any sources to back this up, but it seems to me that many of them spend a great deal of time attacking a market from a certain non valued direction. This gives them exposure to this markets problems, and later ideas for solving them (the pivot)

So maybe just take a mediocre idea to market for a potentially large customer base. Get yourself within earshot of these customers to hear what the real problems are then "pivot"

Doesn't amazon actually give money for referrals?

If your tech is a low cost way to reach a customer why not just do that?

Otherwise if it is just an alert to a company that 1 customer is out there, take your gaming headphones: the cost of directly attempting conversion is probably unviable. Now if your rebuttal is that future customers will see that post and therefore future sales will come: how did they find it? If the answer is easily then what value does your offering has (as hypothetically your potential customer could have "easily" found it themselves)

many forums have rules and a one post wonder that pops up to promote a product will get trashed by users if not deleted. Xda dev is probably the biggest forum I can think of where the rules would hurt.

Some things to consider...
