  • More reason to take advantage of the present. Don’t delay vacation with your family for when work slows down or you have a better job.

    My parents worked hard every year and never took much vacation because they wanted to save it for their retirement when they could travel with us kids. Problem is now they are retired and we all have our own families and lives and don’t have time to travel with them, so they are out by themselves most of the time.

    Imagine how many great trips we could have had together over the years when we were young and free to spend time together. Now those days are gone and all my parents have to show for it is the money they made working.

    I can say that as a 30 something, I get a lot more joy now going outside than I do gaming all day.

    If I do game, I end up going back to a lot of the games from my youth through emulation. Nothing hits as hard as a PS2 game.





  • When I finished school and had my Bachelors, the only thing I thought was, “Glad I am done with that bullshit.”

    I was lucky to do college debt free by going back years later and having a nest egg from years of working to pay off my costs, but so many kids go at 17 because that is what they are told to do and have debt for life from a degree that that they likely won’t use because they have never worked and don’t know where they want a career.

    Now with AI taking away white collar jobs, I think it will be harder for kids to justify. Why would they put themselves through all that stress and work for no guarantee of a career?
