The past six years feels entirely worth it.
I was 22. This year I turned 27.
No job. No wife. No kids.
Generational wealth like I promised myself.
I used my 20s chasing imaginary numbers on the internet, and it worked. Somehow it worked.

You don’t need to be a tech bro to buy a good laptop.👇
Most sellers will throw around big grammar like:
Core i7, 13th Gen, SSD, NVMe, GPU, VRAM…
and confuse you into overspending.
Simple breakdown:
• Core i3 / i5 / i7 = Laptop power level
i3 = basic use
i5 = best for most people
i7 = heavy work like editing/gaming
But here’s the real trick…
Generation matters more than i3/i5/i7.
A 13th Gen i5 can be faster than an old 7th Gen i7.
Read that again.
That “cheap Core i7 laptop” some sellers hype?
It may actually be old, slow, and a bad deal.
Then storage:
• HDD = very slow
• SSD = fast
• NVMe SSD = lightning fast
Rule of thumb:
Never buy a laptop with HDD in 2026 unless you enjoy suffering.
Bonus Windows hacks many people don’t know:
• Win + V → See everything you copied today
• Win + Ctrl + L → Live captions for videos/audio
• powercfg /batteryreport → Check real battery health
Bottom line:
Stop buying laptops because of sweet mouth marketing.
A modern Core i5 + recent generation + NVMe SSD will serve most people better than an ancient “Core i7.”
Laptop sellers won’t tell you this.
Now you know😁
