that's so funny, I had literally half-written a double post in my head. "inb4 you call me mediocre for my class position while not on the treadmill and fully independent well before you". Worked about 8 years out of college, landed an executive position at a small tech company and retired after a small bump in the road (the loss of use of both of my hands, the challenge of which was probably weightier than anything you've ever witnessed let alone done), and I survived that episode thanks to this frugality with a good enough position to launch a legitimate attempt at living on passive wealth. Have a clear path to wealth and assets that generate income. I get the feeling you definitely can't relate but, uhh congrats on the job and massive status anxiety? Does the car feel like it depreciates less when you're in an hour of traffic a day in the thing? Maybe so.

Why would I flaunt wealth before I have it, Toxigen? THAT would be "happy with mediocrity". No, we actually work and study (and play) pretty hard over here and that capital is being used [You must be logged in to view images.

I treated myself to a laptop at (landmark), the first expensive toy I bought myself since teenager other than bike things, and I'll treat myself to a car maybe at one million. Bleh probably not even then, lol. Read Buffett's biography.

Reply how you like from here but there is wisdom, planning, positive intent, self-confidence and hope in my post and you just bray "buy a nicer car poor". You are not representing high class here literarily or financially.

lots of edits from someone entirely unsure of themselves...kinda fitting tho when you think about it

too easy - also must sleep b/c i have a company to run tomorrow

lurk more lol. im a edit fiend and I am testing out a new keyboard! my confidence is much closer to "over" than not enough, and everyone reading this knows it soo...nice try. I'll hang on to my life tyvm where I get to drive a nice body instead of a bloated, broken, cheap and angry man's barely-afforded status symbol of a car probably purchased in bad taste. You haven't come close to getting my number yet in all honesty, but you can do the Patriam cope and just stay in full denial while being too undereducated to maintain a conversation with me. If you think you're gonna make me feel guilty about my own image when I am beautiful, educated & successful by reminding me that I am still upwardly mobile, it really only reveals just how far gone your senses are to the delusion of meritocracy.

But never you mind, because I am actually that rare case that has the stuff to make a case for meritocracy. And if I only make half as much as you, at the cost of only 1/10th the disfigurement? Assuming you make a living wage I would be comfortable with that. I am mostly a church girl and don't see dollars as the make-or-break with respect to mediocrity. More to the point for me is control over my own time, which I enjoy in a greater share than you; whether I succeed in behaving with decency toward my husband and never flake off of him on some emotional whim and bang some other guy before I get a grip in the next 40 years; whether I feel people are happy to see me or not, etc. I have met plenty who place the dignity of large stacks of dirty, smelly cash ahead of the dignity of kindness. Believe me I have, and I've even tried to pull one back to humanity. Despite profound efforts he could not be reached.

Wouldn't trade myself or my philosophy for the prosperity of any of those guys. Okay with an ascetic life, like I said. Not afraid to admit growing up poor, lower middle class desert child. And very happy and proud to say that my circumstances (and self!) are looking better than ever, when only 3 yrs ago I was facing the inability to tie my own shoes and computing with a mouth mouse from a crash pad because my rich scumbag bf dumped me into the street flat broke. Especially proud because I have not worked since. And just bought a ton of equipment for a business venture so I do actually have some assets other than land for once [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

If you remove comorbidities from the equation the true death toll is around 30K which isn't even a bad flu season. Ironically, flu numbers last year were literally 0.

That's not a thing. Theyre not gonna teach us any more words if you abuse it like this.

Only 6% of all Covid deaths were only because of Covid

Hope that helps
