@realEstateTrent 100%, closed a deal last week, neither parties would budge, paid for repairs myself, took commission cut, scraped paint off floors for hours, grouted , caulked , deep cleaned and more just to get across finish line… home had intercostal waterway access so was desirable property
@ColdBloodShill Have a lot of Pokémon cards (6-8 years old) to go through Best way to price raw Pokémon? That is efficient , will check eBay sold once I can figure out which ones are worth doing that for.
And make 75k, huh … my wife and I both have masters degrees in EDU and teach/counselor for 15+ years and don’t make 75k, we also didn’t get a 500-600k jumpstart ….. please tell me what the NCAA needs to care about, and also tell me why this would be a fail. My kids have great opportunities, a wonderful house, I do work multiple jobs but am grateful for what I have.
@aakashgupta Incredible to me how a high % of the comments immediately go to “clearly a creator, intelligent design, etc…” if there is anything at all to conclude by reading this, is that we understand nothing.
@realEstateTrent My favorite is when they inevitably come back to you because they know you will actually close the deal.
This after the best and highest buyer who won backed out due to failing at post contract negotiation of driving down the price they didn’t want to pay in the first place.
I get the sentiment and you do foster a great discussion with your posts, but I will add this post doesn’t seem to be taking into account how many HORRID bosses there are and how those experiences could absolutely drive this type of response from the guy your frustrated with.
I think people of quality (certainly how you present yourself on X) tend forget how they are the 1% not the norm.
Great Question. Privileged answer *corrected
Yes this makes a great reel, great sound bite etc… reality is the opportunity of getting that $$, coming out of college debt free with investments, a degree, and the ability to buy real estate/home immediately is what is life changing…. It’s the #1 most important aspect, not 1 of 10. It’s what parents should be parenting on, not “competing” to be a pro athlete with an infinitesimal chance of going pro.
@girdley@MrDylanCollins@moseskagan Doesn’t help now , but AI agent customizable launch platforms will solve this in the near future…. Google/Meta will eventually buy the startup that is the winner if they don’t do it first themselves.
@girdley@MrDylanCollins@moseskagan I don’t think you’re considering the agentic ecosystem that is being built out and how customized it will be. Google will be all over this with their distribution
@_zkmike Depends if you did any balance sports prior, if not it’s gonna take a good year+ to get to the point where you can ride waves consistently … if you have balance experience one summer is plenty
Cool study, love the depth of it. But a bit of pushback to it.
The best soccer players in the world come out of the European clubs, that’s not opinion, plenty of data to correlate. They specialize early and are consistent through childhood.
The variation is the top players in the 8-14 age range at a top club “usually” aren’t the best when they are in their 20s and pro. Those come from others in the same club who don’t burn out/peak and out work the top players. That’s the nuance that correlates with this paper.
But not being in those top tier groupings at all and not specializing during the 8-14 age range DRAMATICALLY reduces chances a player plays professionally from a mathematical perspective.
To add it is personality dependent IMO. If a kid wants to specialize on their own accord, then support it, if they don’t , pushing it is the worst thing you could do as a parent/coach.
