How long should it take me to make my first million?


Depends. How much do you make at your day job? Because I have doubts about this venture. :lol:
How is Ruston not on the list?

The problem is you can’t build any lasting competitive advantage and thus are always in a commodified race to the bottom (this applies to many of the transportation industries).

Most of the money is made on business-class, but you can’t get too exorbitant with those prices either since the rise of private jets.
Not even a ghost of a chance.
Why do you think PE started rolling up everything? They knew it was a racket and that they could charge whatever they wanted.
Simply staying in on the weekend to catch up around the house/on projects saves a ton of money. Reducing eating out is huge. Youtube is my tv so I save on subscriptions. Workout at home with minimal equipment. As a man it’s not hard to plan a wardrobe you can mix/match and get lots of looks with minimal clothing spend.

Personally I think many of these things are just short-term fixes, though. The real solution is to use as much of your time as possible to maximize earning, build momentum, and then grow into being able to afford the lifestyle you want. You need to make a career/investment growth plan and pursue it relentlessly.
Bet the house on the under at this point.

Not a wow guy but turtle looked dope. Blizzard didnt even want to make classic at first.


Blizzard is entirely incapable of making good games anymore. It’s not even in their top three of priorities.

They added a lot of custom zones, dungeons, and loot to flesh out the holes in the old world. Class specs were made competitive and gear was made to fit said specs. A couple professions were added. They’d just revamped the new Survival profession to be able to make things like improved arrows (a parallel to the improved bullets of engineering) and gathering tools for the other gathering professions.

Things like that.

IMO the stats are a bit misleading for your average Joe who’s throwing darts at a map to decide where to live. To someone who’s willing to get his hands dirty in industry or gets educated with a niche job in mind the economy isn’t dead-last bad. If you put your kids in private school or move to one of the good public districts education is at least middle of the pack. 90% of the crime happens far away from where decent people live. I’d actually be curious what goes into the quality of life stat that makes us rank so low.

They’ve got us on health, though. You’re gonna put on weight when the food’s this good, lol.

Should go dark around May 15th. A sad day for those who enjoyed what was by far the best Classic+ experience on the market.
I know it’s not before the weekend now, but seeing oil rally into the close for the week definitely makes me think things are looking more fraught, not less.

I’d own a few lottery tickets on anything adjacent to oil that hasn’t yet moved due to market assumptions of this being over quick.

Assuming this happens, what's the best way to play this in the stock market?


Anyone making oil substitutes (ethanol, biodiesel, vegetable oil) is going to do well if so. Junior oil stocks would probably moon.
No, because I have taste.

:lol: jk. My favorite is actually Minish Cap, but Wind Waker was good stuff. I just didn’t like how empty the sea felt (and a serious lack of unique islands) and it needed at least a couple more dungeons instead of the triforce fishing and the destroyed island.

You could use them as wallpaper if it doesn’t work out. Put it up next to your Iraqi dinar room.

I imagine the farmer would soil test the shite out of it before signing the lease.


Most wouldn’t. If he’s even somewhat local he’ll already have a decent idea of what your ground is like. There also just isn’t time to take and send off soil tests in the fall before he’d need to be making decisions on tilling and prep for the next year.
I wish the pro leagues would work on quality over quantity and making each venue more interactive and unique. Everything just looks like the same sanitized corporate slop.

Make the Steelers play in something inspired by Bethlehem steel. The NOLA teams should have wrought iron, Mardi Gras, jazz bands, and alligators. The Cowboys should have a halftime bull-riding competition amongst the fans. That sort of stuff would make for a much more entertaining event.

What would you do with the money if you sold?


The most important question, IMO. It seems to me that people who sell with no plan for how the money will be reinvested just blow it, eventually.

Even an underperforming asset is better than nothing at all.
I should have taken my own advice and shorted this thing on every bounce. So much missed opportunity.
