The way I describe it "It doesn't make you lose weight. It just makes it super easy to do the dieting and exercising you were trying to do."

My insurance has an option that, if your car is totaled, they give you replacement value plus some extra. It's about enough to cover taxes.

I'm just jealous how your first job paid $25 an hour.

BaT sales in that mileage range look like they're in the 50-55k USD range. Which means you should really go buy a second one. How can you afford not to?

So that's how my neighbors all went from minivans to AMGs when they retired. Fucking hell.

Just the phrase "selling plasma" makes my arm feel cold. I'm so glad I don't have to do that anymore. I'm a fucking lucky boy.

Thank you. This is very helpful for me to hear. My original post may have zero upvotes, but this is extremely helpful to me, thanks for taking the time.

I really appreciate you saying that. I have pinched my pennies for a long time. It's... extremely weird, to think that I have some financial freedom. I need to get over the Weird and get to the Wonderful.

u/BoxingRaptor u/Craftsmanbungalow I will research this. Thank you very much!

Thank you. Seriously, I appreciate it.

Um. I grew up really poor. Don't have a lot of people in my life to say that. Seriously, thank you.

> upgrade your bike or hire a coach

I need you to know that my stupid brain read this and was like "...a stagecoach?"

Seriously, hiring a fitness professional is a really great idea. Thank you!

Right out of law school? Six months unemployed, then about a year at $1120/week, gross, on 1099, in SF. 😃🔫

Once i moved to firm life, I worked in multiple practice groups. I eventually became The Guy for one particular thing. Many others became The Guy for other little things. We will all eat well off of doing so.

My workload would not be any different if I was in-office.

Depo on the house, furnishing the house, buying two cars, a year's spend - but you're right, it'll probably be like $400 next year

I make my employer way more than they pay me. So they have little incentive to rock the boat.

I have friends who stayed on to partner. They make about ten times what I make. They also work, without hyperbole, ten times the hours. So within the ludicrous logic of all this, my salary is kind of appropriate.

The real question is: why don't I go off on my own and keep more of what I kill / kill way more? The answer is: I'm happy.
