people at work are making fun of me for my spending habits yet they are the ones with 0€ saved and I am the one who is able to save 70% of my paycheck each month. Already talking about retirement in the next 10-15 years and shit and yet they keep on making fun of me.

You cant tell me you really NEED a new iphone every 2 years or a 50€ haircut every 3-4 weeks, new car every 5-6 years, 1-2k vacation every year etc. That shit isnt even qol, its literally just goyslop consumerism.

And what if you don’t die? Which you won’t if you work out and live a decently heavy lifestyle? Then you can retire in your late 40s early 50s and have another good 20 years at least, while these retarded normies have their bodies start breaking down from substance abuse on their 40s, and have to work another 20 years just to retire into poverty, only to end up dying in their 70s as wrecks anyway.

1. You can't fix people. At least not without sacrificing your life for them. You literally have to live with them, cook healthy for them, motivate them to do some push ups, etc. And they will still likely regress. It's only worth it with parents so they don't fall apart in old age.

2. Fixing losers is a fun hobby - makes you feel good and accomplished. It's also much easier than working yourself, so it's a cope out for many. Keep that in mind. (P.S. I am giving you advice because I don't want to go do productive shit)

He's literally enthralled (like a vampire thrall, mind controlled) by advertising. He doesn't want to get in shape, he wants to be the kind of person who gets in shape, and wouldn't you know it the advertising on the screen says those people buy a switch and a ring fit, and because identity is only defined by what you purchase now, that's what he did. For a more in depth explanation of how all that works read The Last Psychiatrist blog.

Oh. Yea. Give up. He is not a human bean anymore. Btw, the way for those people to lose weight is 7+ day water-only fasts. It does come off quickly since it's an absurd amount to maintain on nothing.

Can you elaborate? Genuinely curious if just skin folds / stretch marks or already arthritic everywhere. Theory says you should be able to fix your insulin.

Keeping up a normal, not fancy, appearance is part of being a normal human bean. Not optional. Agreed that you can travel without it being an "omg vacay!!", but unexpected costs ALWAYS creep up, so that's something to keep in mind.

The reality of living paycheck to paycheck is all too familiar for many people. It can be a constant struggle to make ends meet, and the fear of unexpected expenses or a sudden loss of income can be overwhelming.
There are a number of reasons why people may find themselves living paycheck to paycheck. One common reason is a lack of financial literacy. Many people may not have a clear understanding of how to manage their money and make smart financial decisions, which can lead to overspending and a lack of savings.
Another reason is low income. For many people, their income may simply not be enough to cover their expenses and save for the future. This can be particularly challenging in areas with a high cost of living, or for those working in low-paying jobs.
Additionally, unexpected expenses can also play a role. Emergencies, such as medical bills or car repairs, can quickly drain savings and leave people struggling to make ends meet.
Finally, some people may simply be living beyond their means. They may be spending more than they earn, using credit cards or loans to make up the difference. This can quickly lead to a cycle of debt that is difficult to break.
In short, there are many reasons why people may live paycheck to paycheck. But by improving financial literacy, increasing income, and being prepared for unexpected expenses, it is possible to break free from this cycle and achieve greater financial stability and security.

"stretch marks and extra skin" doesnt cover the things no one tells you. The most important being 50% closer to having ED at a young age. What I didn't realize was that the extra skin envelops the penis and prevents arousal as it deadens the sensation of "getting erect'; that is you dont easily"feel" aroused even though you are. This can be compounded by porn.
Other than that. Left leg shorter than right due to destruction of cartilage. ACL tear in right leg, combined made for an abnormal gait I still have trouble correcting with PT (I might never fully correct it) Having a gunt despite being measured in a Bod Pod to be under 13% bodyfat. Fallen arches in my feet making look like I have flippers. Permanent scaring from the giant cysts that developed in the friction of the folds. Premature hair loss. And a lonely wasted youth.
Would you believe I council others who want to kill themselves? It's because I've been there.

I'm already fit, had a switch and bought ring fit because it looked fun.

Shit was no fucking joke, some of the toughest workouts I ever did (of course you have to actually commit to it, and make sure you're on the highest difficulty). Was not expecting how hard it pushes you. Legit was a fun way to workout.

>Would you believe I council others who want to kill themselves? It's because I've been there.

Makes sense. It's always funny to me when normies volunteer for suicide hotlines. Pretty sure they directly contribute to a negative outcome in many cases with generic platitude bullshit.

>The most important being 50% closer to having ED at a young age.

I don't have the research in front of me, but fatty tissue actually starts causing ED at ridiculously low body fat - most people think it's fine to have some fat around the stomach, in reality it increases ED rate by something like 5-20% vs losing those 10-20 pounds.

>ACL tear in right leg

Ever get that fixed? If you have insurance now, it will be your whole deductible but they can do an artificial graft or take a piece of your patellar / achilles. It's not really as dramatic as it used to be since they do it arthroscopically (though small holes).

Good luck to you anon.
