Thoughtful Thursday Edition

What's one thing that's really been on your mind lately? Could be something you've really wanted to do, or something to vent about, anything really.

For me, it just seems like time is flying by as I'm getting older. I wish the summers would feel like forever again.

Yes, I have a sense of "time is running out."
I am 26 years old with nothing to show for it. I work part time at an office job that barely pays the bills, and I am still in college because I started back in 2015 long after my highschool classmates already graduated from college.
I have recently started dwelling on the past, hearkening back to my childhood and indulging in things that give me a sense of nostalgia. For example I started getting back into yugioh. I think I spent close to $200 on cards so far, maybe more. And I have been rewatching the series on netflix. I am on season 5 now, the final season. I was never able to finish it when I was a kid, because season 4 was when they had that pentagram-looking star that made my dad think it was satanic and made me stop watching it. Maybe after finishing the series, I will find peace and be able to move on from this pathetic phase I am in. I hope I'm just in a rut.

Easier said than done but try to quit comparing yourself to others. There will always be those who are better off than you, and those who are worse off, it's not a productive use of mental energy to compare to them. Plus when you think about it, the comparisons are rather arbitrary anyway aren't they? So what if some kid you went to school with is 100x richer than you? There's some else on the other side of the world who you've never met that's 5000x richer than your classmate. We compare ourselves to people we vaguely know just because we happened to randomly get to know them in the first place, there's no rhyme or reason to it beyond that.

I'm 33, same boat as you, just started college 2 years ago, over 10 years "late", but I'm having fun, I don't feel bad about it, I just look to the future and know I'm taking steps to better myself.

Part of the problem today is that so few people know what they want to do with themselves, many struggle choosing a career, they don't know if they want a family, they don't know if they want wealth, freedom, fame, power, or a combination of them all. Instead of just taking action and trying, many people are paralyzed by the decision and end up doing nothing. That was me for a lot of years, but now I've finally woken up and began to live my life with purpose.

Can relate to those nostalgic feels though, have been thinking more and more about buying MTG cards again myself, a bit too expensive though if I actually wanted cards I used to play with decades ago so I'll probably hold off for awhile.

I think there are certain things we can do to claw our time back. It's scientifically proven that doing the same repetitive tasks day-in and day-out warps your perception of time as your brain is not using as much resources and there's no novelty in your life. It's a big part of why when people finally turn 65 and retire (if they're lucky), they look back and wonder where their life went.

FUCK that, that will never be me. I'd rather live a fulfilling life rich in experiences and die poor than spend 40 years in an office and have only a $1 mill stack to show for it at 65. No one ever wishes they spent more time working, but many will regret not experiencing life more.

Anons, get out there and do it.

oh, the Eternal Afternoon... kids are forever being described as "lazy," just because they don't want to take out the garbage. But have you ever taken a good look at how kids spend their summer afternoons? They build treehouses. They bake mudpies. They concoct elaborate schemes to turn their scooters into flying machines. Clearly, kids aren't lazy; they just don't have the same set of priorities as adults. Just imagine getting the chance to finally finish all those magical, complicated projects you dreamt up during those fleeting summer childhood afternoons; you'll be only called home for dinner once the forts are built, the pies are baked, and the scooter is soaring over the valley... kek

Never gonna make it lad hit the gym and quit being a 5oy Boy. I was in your shoes I didn’t graduate until I was 26 and didn’t land a job until I was almost 27. I felt like a giant loser since all my old friends already had comfy office jobs. Guess what? Me waiting to go back let me get certain grants that allowed me to graduate debt free while all the other kids are sunk in jewish loans still living at home while I’m now in the swanky part of town in a cheap comfy apartment. Sell weed if you have to life hardly ever rewards those who are honest smart and hard working you have to step up and take what you want and take some risks.

Holy shit is that the epitome of boomer dom is watching time fly by? Hit me hard last month that in an office time has a weird way of standing still, the work week drags on and feels like a month, the weekend is over in the blink of an eye and you look up from your monitor and the entire year has gone by and you step back and ask wtf happened? Even when I was 24 a summer still felt like an eternity.

I definitely hear you man. I think it's all about injecting novelty in your life and being mindful of the time passing. This is something I struggle with myself every day as well.

Appreciate that you enjoy these, I'll definitely keep them up since it seems like wagers like having a space to cope and co-mingle. Pretty sure most of the NEET larps are wagecucks coping anyway.

I’m 27 and have a 75k networth, better than anyone my age I know besides a couple of kids from my HS who had trust funds or played professional sports. Sure LARPers on /biz/ will laugh at that but in the real world aside from NEETs on a board about shitcoins it’s doing a lot better than most. You need to man up and quit being soft if you can’t take criticism on fucking 4chan how are you going to manage when you do get a real job and people are actually critiquing you on shit that matters? No trying to offend you here but a dose of reality is if 95% of the population finds out you play with yugioh cards you will be looked down upon. Find a more fulfilling hobby like art or cooking or something that translates into real world use, that’s whats kept me sane.

My bad. I appreciate the concern then. But at the same time I've already given up on societal acceptance. I kept waiting for it to happen and just assumed I was a late bloomer, but it never happened. So I'm just going to do what I like. Yugioh is fairly harmless when compared to other things like drug addictions or alcoholism anyways

I am an honest literal wagecuck. Working min wage here in California which is more than my hometown in PA so I get by. I'm pretty frugal and save most of what i make. But I'm kinda just frustrated I want to work alone and be alone but to have a remote job is really tough to get especially one that pays well. I also don't want to lose my social skills and be super autistic. I have lots of ideas on what to do to make extra money but I can never pick one and stick with it. I just want to work for myself and make a business I can take with me so I can move back to PA and see my family and spend more time in nature and fishing. I would be happy making 40k a year. Sorry for blogpost just needed to vent a little.

I sort of know seo, sem, and all that but i dont wanna be a clickwords bitch. how can i free myself from wagecucking a useless job and become a financial independent /biz/ness man. I want to invest in crypto more but wont see returns and my stack is too small. I liked /ent/ discussion but dont know what i should do. do you anons ever feel purposeless.

You ain’t lying at least you aren’t drinking or drugging away your problems. Being a wage cuck has made me realize how stupid the average Goy is. I used to think people in high positions at companies had to be geniuses but after watching them not be able to work a fax machine or click scam links in emails I was shocked to find most of them just got there from associations or being at a company long enough. Our current society is a fucking mess why should we care to go out to a bar and yell about “DUDE BEER LMAO! Sportsball!” With the NPC’s that lack any sort of original thought or idea straying from the herd? Just a suggestion maybe throw in a hobby that also translates to a skill it really helped make my life feel like it had some fulfillment.

the sense of time 'flying' is related to experiencing new things in your life and how your brain registers change.
a good analogy is having an old file on your computer, even if its a useful file like an old meme from 5 years ago and you use it once a month, your computer never has to update what it remembers about it until a change is made to the file itself.

it would be an inefficient use of your brains power to re-learn how to take a shit, navigate your way around a familiar room, how to digest food, how to tell a joke or any of the other countless millions of things we do everyday using past experience.
if you dont want to live life on autopilot then you need to do new things every day, look at something different, say something different, learn something different etc. its not just a wagie thing, neets experience time flying even more so

C and C++, no one really uses anything else
python is a good addition since many use it for target-specific autogenerated code
architecture-specific assembly is used for boot sequences, familiarize yourself with assembly if you want though its not necessary
some neat arduino or cheap real-time mpu stuff is fine for building a portfolio but whats important is not using libraries, instead write your own methods for stuff
best thing to put in your portfolio would probably be a rudimentary OS (task handling, scheduling, interrupts, semaphores, timing)
if you can read and understand a 1000 page reference manual for an ecu/cpu you will have good chances of making it in embedded

I'm suggesting memes but it has truly helped me. First step, if you are stuck, is to at least change your mindset.

Read books:

How to Fail Almost Anything... Scott Adams
Millionaire Fastlane.. MJ Demarco
Zero To One... Peter Thiel
How to Get Rich... Felix Dennis

So you're ready. Then... look into things like niche sites and dropshipping. Try that for a while and get your SKILLS in order. Once you dive into that world you will find your ideas. After a change of mindset and minor experience you will truly be ready.

Reminder investment only makes you rich when you're old unless you go all-in on crypto and get lucky - and reminder, those days are gone whether this board likes it or not. Still be safe and have crypto. But try to get your money through non-luck ways.

[Anonymous No.10525646]

>>10525498
good answer. as long as you have the mindset that you will keep going no matter what, then sure skip all the motivational bs. some people need it though because they are scared or their mind works that way aka you have to analyse things before getting started (i did)

niche sites: authorityhacker / nichepursuits, literally google "how to create a niche site" - this is a process that will take a while to see results however, yet is the epitome of 'passive income' - get your website(s) to rank on google then when someone googles "how to create a niche site" they will see your site on page 1, click your links, make you money

suggestion: look up the authorityhacker podcast and pick the beginner ones and listen to them.

start with the "noob series" 60, 61, 62, 63, 64,65 ,66 - it is MCUH easier than you think to start a site but if you dont have money to outsource you'll be doing a lot of work yourself
. then listen to you will need some background. 4, 5, 32, 33. you're basically done, and all the other episodes and articles are essentially delay tactics to stop you from getting started.

dropshipping is more of an 'instant results' type of thing but theres a possibility you will burn money if you don't know what you're doing. do some googling for that as well.

if you dont mind dropping money to learn QUICKLY then there are courses out there you can pay for that will explain everything in an efficient manner. if you're smart enough to write wel and follow through ifs just a matter of failing quickly and sticking with your goals. once you make your first 10 dollars you will get a jolt that will energize you to continue

[Anonymous No.10525990]

it correlates with your skills. your skills

-picking a niche
-picking a product
-writing good copy
-picking your audience well
-testing

it can get very profitable very quickly but it has a learning curve. if you pick your products well though you can be trash yet still well. the key is to optimize and squeeze max profits

[Anonymous No.10526033]

>>10525952
depends mostly on the price the manufacturer sets and what your markup is, minus ad spend and other costs such as shopify at $30 a month.
from what I gather it takes a lot of ad spend at first to figure out which methods and products work well together and find a market who want to buy it (the niche).

I miss my old NPCs where I could go drink beer and watch sportball, I'm not a huge sports fan but fuck do I miss having people to do that with. Now it's all pajeets and Chinese so we have nothing in common, they are all PHD holding from ivy league biochem majors so they are completely autistic so during company lunches and outings I feel like the fucking NPC. When I take into consideration I'm making more money now I feel.....just boomerish.

right now i've grown into the manager thing. learning a lot, working a lot and i'm looking forward to riding it for sweet gains soon. also got a kid coming some time in the next year or something so that's also changing things. i'm not gonna pull 60 hour weeks with a kid, no matter how much money i'm making.

Yeah I just prefer to hold the physical cards. Gf and I duel all the time. She's a really bad duelist though so I always win... she sucks at building her deck, I try to help her but I also like not knowing what's in her deck to make it harder for me. So I have to make weak decks for myself to make it fun
Anyways, there's something addicting about the physical cards and building your own deck with them. Maybe it's just sentimental/nostalgia value though

Long weekend this week

[Anonymous No.10527045]

Just another wagie doing the things, opted for the starving artist route in life but it's fulfilling to perform on stage (mostly sword-fighting, stage combat, and acting) and it's a lot of fun for me a a hobby.

I posted a couple days ago about possibly directing a stage show for a convention and they got back to me the other night with the COO and he's interested in the project pending a pitch but to consider it a soft greenlight so my off-time is dedicated to knocking out that pitch by tomorrow.

Helps the day go by faster than being complacent and being satisfied with 29k a year. Fuck that noise.

Congrats, proud of you for doing what you want.

[Anonymous No.10527129]

Hey wagies. I just want to share a couple things with you

>envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

>focus on the journey, not the destination.
corny, but it changes your perspective.

>Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Mathew 6:34

>This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24

Focus on what's in front of you today. You want financial independence? You want to be an entrepreneur? Focus on what's in front of you today, not tomorrow. That's not to say that you shouldn't have concern for the future, but you should not worry about it. Rather, focus on what you have to do for today.

I think there was a Chinese proverb that went like this:
>If you are depressed, you are living in the past
>If you are anxious, you are living in the future
>If you are at peace, you are living in the present

Hopefully this helps with some of you.

first page google well therein lies the rub yeah... need to pick a niche where there isnt much competition or just enough competition where you know you can do better than them. google "long tail keywords", this is stuff you will learn if you listen to the podcasts. takes months which is why its a mindset not just "something to do"

>>10526169
affiliates. google "best bolo tie reviews" and they click your site and your link to the best bolo tie, Acme bolo ties. you get a cut. meanwhile dropshipping you are the guy that sells the bolo ties, but you target "silly males 35-45" and market it directly to whoever you think will most benefit from it. also makes to make money from pageviews.

overwhelming majority people use amazon. you can also use affiliate programs from clickbank and various other things in your niche. commission junction.just a few of the more popular ones. the goal is just not to have a rinky-dink website with a few pages and win affiliate money off a few products. you want a massive website (Eventually) with many products and many different catchment areas. take a look at wirecutter, it's literally a website that only exists for affiliate money, and its worth tens of millions. obviously normal people like you or i (or most anyone) cant compete with that type of thing, therefore the search is on for niches.

[Anonymous No.10528372]

>>10528339
and the good part though, looking at wirecutter (for example they have a "best pen" review on the front page) is that no one is going to trust a fake news soulless corporation for reviews on the best pens. who the hell is the wirecutter? however my carefully crafted cute-looking pen site by pen enthusiast john smith, who has been using pens all his life will rank higher than a random big website who wants to cut in on the pen space for cynical money-making purposes. if you have that pen site, you will rank above the wirecutter (believe it or not) but your quality has to be up to par. thats why its down to learning and hard work.

and sorry to flood but google "best pens".

1. nymag
2. penaddict
3. thewirecutter
4. goodhousekeeping
5. gentlemanstationer

take a look at #5, literal garbage. only text... no images, tiny descriptions, the website looks bad. yet it's #5.

take a look at #2 - penaddict. it's better, has one picture, it's a pleasant-looking site.

mroe importantly - take a look at #1 and #3 - best media corporation websites. it is obvious what they have over this "DIY"-looking sites clearly made by random people. more detail. quotes. pictures of every pen. conversion buttons (orange for nymag, which converts best believe it or not)

if penaddict or stationary guy puts a BIT more effort in their pages , they will overtake the bigger companies. but they don't. who knows why, i dont care, but they are missing out on money. its just a minor example i want to give you about how easy it is to rank for random things like these. but you have to know how to do it and write GOOD stuff.

Get healthy (i.e. fitness) and find another job. Not trying to shit on your parade, but $400K on crypto fell into your lap and it's not that much money in the long run. At 26 y/o, you don't need a break and should be working to improve yourself.

I've sold a few companies and also had a crypto windfall (#noskillallluck) but the key for me was keeping momentum going between projects and not letting myself become complacent.

thats exactly why you must pick your niche carefully. pplenty of people have many churn and burn type ofwebsites they put up quickly and guess what.. they can make 200 bucks a month but if you have 5 of them that is literally 1000 dollars a month free income just based off a bit of work, you literally dont have to touch it once it's up. obviously i'm aiming low, but it's better to aim low at first until you know what you're doing.

At the least to live in unless you intend to move around a lot. If you can find a duplex or similar property where you can live in one part of the property and rent out the other part that is a good option. Large houses could work also but you'll have shared living areas which might not be ideal for privacy. I wouldn't purchase an investment property if you are still paying rent yourself.

I own a home that the city just re-assessed from 130k to 290k in taxable value. i owe 139k on this home.

rather than just reeee about this, i came up with the idea to use it to secure a 100k heloc which id use to turn my 20x30 detatched garage into an air b&b. the projected cash figures for the finished project would be ~2500/mo with property management included.

They declined me today because they said i didnt make enough income... which they based off the average of my past 3 years tax returns. i make 2x that now. i explained this to them going in and they said it wasnt going to be a problem.

i tried again for anything, even 40k, which they also declined and they refused to tell me why.
