Dating apps are fine. You just have to understand how harsh women judge first before you put yourself out there, especially if you're a nervous or sensitive type. The average (or even below average woman) will still expect a prince-charming no matter what. Most of us don't have a chance on the market even if you look alright.

The scary thing is it’s looking more and more like I’ll be a NEET for life. When I bought my 45k LINK stack the future wasn’t so clear.

Funny how 30k feels like a million when you're in your early 20s but 300k in your 30s feels like you're lagging behind. I think it's the realization that you're going to be doing a job you hate for a lot longer than you thought when you started it. But honestly, the good news is that it's a lot easier to go from 200k -> 1mil -> 5mil than it is to go from 30k -> 200k -> 1mil

Don’t let your gf have control over your linkies. My ex always shit on crypto when my account was sub $10k. As soon as LINK started taking off she became interested. Then the Google/Coinbase event occurred and I made $85k that day, $115k on the week, 3 times her fathers yearly salary. All of a sudden she thinks crypto is amazing.

Electricians make good money. Master electricians make even better money. If you’re a decent learner and a hard worker you should make good money. If you’re truly an autist and have no social life you can “moonlight” jobs for other customers. This basically means you run side jobs on your own time with the client paying you directly, most leads come from your actual position as an electrician (which is why many companies frown upon this so tread carefully). Not a bad trade job at all. Personally, I could never do it because the thought of getting electrocuted to death scares me too much. If you’re into the whole electricity thing, you could look into becoming a lineman. Those guys make $40/hr right out the gate full benefits but you’re working on high tension powerlines. My buddy is in his 5th year and is making $90/hr full benefits.
