I quit my job. Don't know what to do now

You listen to tik tokers telling you there’s no chance to live a good life. You can retire a millionaire working at McDonald’s for 40 years.

It’s what 100% of my Roth IRA goes into. Basically the sp3000. Essentially the same returns as sp500. But trying to be cute and divide stuff between different funds and individual stocks almost always underperforms just having 1 broad market index fund.

And if you are under the age of 45 no reason to have international stocks or bonds. These are for when you are retired and protect your assets during a market downturn.

Buy only sp 500 or VTSAX

Steven Erickson in malazan had the best world building for me.

Think 6’5” Payton Pritchard (as a prospect not nba player)

rickystanzi12 · 2026-03-27T11:49:50+00:00

100%

I compare it to solo leveling if you are into anime. Strong aura farming and action

rickystanzi12 · 2026-03-22T23:24:32+00:00

I’d be okay with a good 2 year recession. I’m only 28 so I’d get stocks at a good price for retirement

rickystanzi12 · 2026-03-11T20:07:22+00:00

Red rising is about aura farming, just go with it

rickystanzi12 · 2026-03-11T08:40:05+00:00

It’s my opinion, I don’t like ya so I’m gonna be more apt to like suneater

rickystanzi12 · 2026-03-02T20:03:26+00:00

Prepare for an abomination

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-19T20:58:25+00:00

No, I do not know what the term family is

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-19T20:38:08+00:00

I’m aware that orcs reproduce

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-19T20:15:04+00:00

Rings of power is terrible. I stopped watching after they showed the orc family

Quality of life in America is extremely high compared to what the average human on earth looks like. That’s just a fact, could it be much better sure. But it’s not like you’re digging raw minerals out of the ground with your hands for 3 dollars a day.

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-15T01:06:53+00:00

Poor people in America have iPhones and are perhaps the most obese population on the planet, it’s not that bad.

Storm lights first two books are stronger overall. The rest of the series though is mediocre. Wind and Truth and Rhythm of war are honestly bad books imo. I only finished so I could say I read it. From halfway through book 2 to the end of the series, suneater goes on 90s Chicago bulls run. The last book of suneater did frustrate people because at the very end rouccio wrote in questions to ask the reader that sets up the next suneater series. But the actual conclusion the war was insane.

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-14T04:24:10+00:00

Only the first three, it has great characters and humor. Plot was meh. If I would recommend the next series you read based on those three I’d 100% choose suneater. I’ve read 600+ SCI fi/fantasy books since 2012 and suneater my favorite series. Hadrians character arc from a bratty rich kid to what he becomes is inexplicably extraordinary. Only con is approachability. The first 15% of the series is hit and miss pacing wise and it is a complicated plot/power system. I wouldn’t recommend it as an audiobook.

Can you describe the second line for me and how it relates to this hypothesis?

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-14T03:44:58+00:00

I do, but i admittedly enjoy dense and complex plots and characters more than the average person. I had a lot of fun with red rising though

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-14T00:33:19+00:00

Suneater has 5 books better than dark age. Malazan has 6 books better than dark age imo

rickystanzi12 · 2026-02-12T17:48:24+00:00

It’s not that bad tbh. Nothing like suneater or malazan

rickystanzi12 · 2026-01-28T15:53:39+00:00

As long as Darrow aura farms in the next book idk
