Out of curiosity I've read up on The Game and similar dating stuff. Unless if the employee is/develops high value (high "SMV") or doesn't need the employer <-- this in particular is the attitude a guy needs to have to succeed in the market - to turn around the power dynamic that you descri...

50, that's impressive. Some men struggle to even get 1.

I haven't contributed much to the forum lately . My online-time has been directed towards reading a book, writing a life summary with set of minor life improvement targets and keeping up with the financial world. I have also been incredibly lazy at times, let me just say that :lol: Ah, I might as w...

Electricity 2 915,77 ??

Oops, didn't see your post until now. Yes, this bill included "rent" for being part of the electricity grid for 3 months. Can't really do much to lower that cost.

Norway has very cheap electricity so the "rent" makes up for most of the cost.

If you're contemplating suicide, seek professional help. I've been through 4 or 5 depressions this year which is very unusual for me. What helps me might not work for you but here are some ideas I remember off the bat: - Mentally separate yourself (ego) from your trajectory (actions). Think of yours...

Time to put my head on the chopping block again. The negatives: - Terrible month compared to my recent history. - Way too much money spent on work cafeteria and social life. The positives: - The terrible month was partly caused by one-offs mainly on the "needs"-side of things. - Food costs...

As a woman I wouldn't be interested dating anyone who says women are emotional beings. Generally speaking, women are all about emotions and emotional reactions (don't take that as a negative remark). Men are more straightforward. While men may deal from a place of emotions, they don't necessarily t...

Thanks for the input both. I'm not looking to change my whole wardrobe and pretend to be someone who I'm not. To use Bankai's quote: You consider changing your appearances to increase your perceived status No, I want to increase my perceived status without necessarily changing my appearances. I want...

Third: You're framing it wrong mentally. - You're strong enough to move about by whatever means you feel like and you're not a complete weather wuss who needs shelter and AC as soon as it rains. - You don't wear your personality on the outside, but on the inside (again, see the filter above). If yo...

After having put behind me a few years of dating and 2 long term relationships I thought I had figured women out. Now that I'm single after 10 years I'm just realizing how clueless I have been. Looking back at some of the relationship drama I've had, a lot of it could have been avoided had I just be...

I am curious, why do you not index/Wellesley? I have been kicking ass with Wellesley in my tax deferred accounts and a 50/50 us/intl index in my taxable. Before this year began I was aware that indexing would probably yield better returns for me. I'm no expert investor. But indexing would leave lit...

If you don't like strict training programs: Get kettlebells. Once you get familiar with more and more movements you can easily just 'play' your way through a day's training. If you're in a hurry for some reason you can always crank out 10 minutes of swings. This is a great tip that I also advocate ...

My mum celebrated her 60th birthday. I did consider buying her a small holiday abroad and justified it by telling myself "it's a non-recurring expense", but eventually decided there are lots of other ways to show her how much I love her without transporting our bodies to some hotel abroad....

Great OP, I hope you will succeed! You want this to be a lasting change in your life. So my way of solving this problem would be to look at an exercise+diet program that is more or less sustainable in the long run, with minor adjustments for weight loss/gain. That program would be your frame in whic...

I personally would shoot higher, something more like an even 33/33/33 split, as protein is so filling if it's dominating your diet you won't get enough calories. Cook everything in butter for starters, add some bacon and for gods sake, drink whole milk not skim! I second this. Also, eating lots of ...

when/if institutional money starts flooding in, brute predicts an easy 10-100x. maybe for the last time. how do you rate the probability of this happening, assuming "bitcoin ETFs" will be launched sometime soon? I'm considering putting a small bet on bitcoin, but I do not understand it fu...

Hi wood. Congratulations to your >60% SR. - What have you changed with your diet? - What kind of expensive social life are you refering to? (bars, restaurants, concerts, beers, meetups...) Thanks! I wrote a post about my diet and exercise on Oct 16th. I've increased my protein intake which means mo...
