Got to the office, like I do every day.
Just to get to work:
Train: £20
Parking: £10.50
£30.50 gone before I’ve even opened my laptop.
That’s over 13% of my daily take-home pay spent simply turning up to work.
Tell me again how the UK incentivises people to graft.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
“Their final gift to you was repeating their pattern one more time so you could finally see that despite their potential, this is who they’ve chosen to be.”
In life, you must choose your regrets.
“You'll regret it if you get married. You'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids, and you'll regret it if you don't.
Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows:
‘Whatever you choose, you'll regret it. Because the problem isn't in your choices; it's in romanticizing a life you haven't lived.
A person always finds an untraveled path alluring and mysterious.
That's why the issue isn't making the right choice.
It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with.’
What have you decided?” — Salih Guney

if you can hold 3 jobs, hit a few perfect trades, keep expenses low and then nail that parlay you can live the lifestyle of a moderately successful plumber in the 1970s
