What do you guys think?
The world is a different place now. Every generation is going to view and value things a little differently. You have views your folks think are crazy and vice versa. What truly matters, in my opinion, is when the rubber meets the road.
As long as you're learning the material and making the grade, I don't see any issues.
Sounds like you're killing it. Good on you.
re: Cost effective way to run electricity to a shed?

Yeah it’s a 5x7ish shed (a little room to walk around in and mostly store tools). I may do some work inside but generally will pull tools out to the patio next to it to work. I would think I’d generally be running a small dust collection system and one tool at a time, plus battery charging and then LES shed lighting.
I’d hope that one 20amp circuit could handle that. Tell me if I’m sounding too ambitious though.
Depending on your home's service and availability in your panel, I would throw in (2) single pole 20a breakers. Pull (2) lengths of 12-2 Romex to your shed. That'll get you lights and a few outlets on one circuit and whatever else you want on the other.
The cost of that material (if you're going to DIY - which you absolutely can) is nothing compared to trenching out in a few months if you want more juice.
Of course, if you don't like the shed you can take that one goober's advice and use extension cords.
Also, if there's nothing in the shed that will require permanent power (small beer fridge or exhaust fan), I'd add a non-fusible disconnect where the power leaves your house or where it enters the shed. Small investment for some peace of mind and safety.

Let’s role play.
I’ll be the guy who doesn’t have any savings, and you’ll be the small business owner.
On what planet does that make any sense?

Is to cancel my Netflix subscription and stop buying lattes and avocado toast?
However, I think it's more about the spirit of being able to understand "nice to haves" vs. "need to haves". A lot of post-Gen Xers seems to struggle with self discipline and regulation in that regard.
So no, it isn't about one subscription or a latte every morning. It's more about being able to sacrifice, see the big picture, and make sound adjustments to one's lifestyle.
Or keep buying Starbucks, if that's what makes you happy. Or Netflix. That spend, spend, spend pattern of behavior can be a real challenge when you're trying to get yourself established.

Probably Ativan. Some ER docs use a cocktail that has more in it and is faster acting. When someone is out of control it’s necessary.
