Imagine your home country isn’t safe to live in, you migrate and that damn country isn’t safe to live in….. who did we offend in this life for crying out loud??
After doing the Seven Sisters, the White Cliffs of Dover will be next in line.
I just need June to wrap up this rain business because it's gone on for too long.🤦
Someone posted a TikTok video on how she made Agidi Jollof from scratch.
I watched and saved it but I don't know why I even bothered. I'll probably end up cooking rice but a little delulu never killed anybody.😂
This is only true if you actually spend a meaningful % of that money on unforgettable, life-enriching experiences in your 20s
Too many ambitious people go down the sad path of deferred-happinessmaxxing
Grinding, saving and investing away the freest, most unencumbered years of their lives
Only to land in their 30s with a big bank roll but a lost decade in terms of memories & life richness that they can never get back
It’s okay to grind, save & invest in your 20’s
But don’t make the mistake of failing to prioritize the kind of big unforgettable life experiences that are only possible in your 20s before commitments like wife, kids, mortgage start to come in:
🔌 completely unplug for 3-4 weeks each year
✈️ buy a plane ticket to the other side of the world
🏝️ stay in a cheap hostel
🤷♂️ show up with zero plans other than where you’ll stay the night you arrive and where you’ll fly out of for flight back home
🤝 make friends and go where the trip takes you
Do the above as many times as you possibly can in your 20s. You’ll be so grateful that you did
And doing the above doesn’t need to come at the expense of maxxing career/money progress
You can do both
@abalu_uthman This is the whole game.
A great business bought at a bad price is still a bad investment.
Patience on entry beats conviction on the name.
The market hands you the right price eventually, the discipline is waiting for it.
Another day to remind you that you can buy the share of a good company at the wrong price.
Forget all the “I’m investing for long term”, buy stocks for less than they are worth.
I have some thoughts regarding something I’ve observed lately, in myself and friends who invest:
We don’t hold stocks anymore. We browse them. Like 20 browser tabs open, but none actually read.
There’s a new ticker pitched to you every hour, a new thesis every day, and a new position every week.
That’s not investing. That’s collecting.
The dopamine of a fresh ticker feels like progress. Just like how watching a 60s video feels like it. But trust me, it really isn’t.
A thesis takes months to develop.
A company takes years to grow.
A portfolio takes a decade to compound.
None of that fits in a feed designed to make you forget what you saw 12 seconds ago.
So next time a shiny new name shows up on your timeline, ask one question first:
Is this better than adding to what I already own?
It usually isn’t.
@jamstarrrr I understand the feeling. I always try ice cream whenever I visit a new country or city.
I still maintain that the best I've had was a rhubarb and custard ice-cream I had in Orkney, Scotland.
PS: I haven't been to Italy so this might change.😂
@EnjoymentMamaa Yeah. This week and next week should just 'come and be going'.
PS: Don't know why I feel $ONDS will touch the high 8s at some point this week.😂
