@kyanbuilds Usually it’s just an algorithm check and you’ll probably never know what happened.
Try to reach out support just to make them expedite things, but expect to get your payment carried over to the next payout
@leonardoalt@sseraphini CPF is definitely not as sensitive as SSN
You can get loans, credit cards, lots of money with SSN, you can’t do that with CPF
Also there’s multiple facial recognition steps in Brazilian banks, meanwhile lots of US bank’s doesn’t even require MFA
@TaniaBelldotcom@shipordie_@marclou@jackfriks They’re not forcing anyone to buy it, if they don’t provide the value they’ll face consequences of the public so I don’t see the problem
They shouldn’t do charity based on having enough runway on their personal bank accounts
@YoniSmolyar Having control over your life is better than any amount of money (once you have enough to live comfortably)
Nowadays much easier to earn a buck online so it’s even better!
I had a 9-5 job paying more than $400k and quit 6 months ago because it incrementally made my life boring and uninspired and degraded my quality of life and mental health
I always dreamed that one day I would be a full time founder and not rely on a biweekly paycheck. I had a voice in my head telling me to do something more exciting and with more impact than just maxing out 401k contributions and having 20 days of paid vacation per year in a “chill job”. I wanted to build something that was truly mine, that could financially support and intellectually satisfy me
And not because I wanted to have a bunch of money and be “rich”. Because I wanted to be in charge of my life, my vacations, my 10am on Tuesday and my 3pm on Thursday. I wanted to go to the gym in the middle of the day and generally spend my time as I see fit
But I was risk averse. I didn’t quit my job, instead I was a chronic side hustler / wantrepreneur. Built all sorts of small internet businesses that would make a little revenue but never enough to unchain from a stable salary. Dozens of these little businesses over the last 10 years. I knew (hoped) that one day, one of these projects would get traction or show disproportionate opportunity. Something will offer me escape velocity if I keep trying
Eventually I started posting daily videos online telling the story of a wantrepreneur, made some mobile apps, and began to earn a strong enough income outside of my 9-5 to finally take the bet on myself and leave my job. “golden handcuffs” is an accurate term. how can a 28yo walk away from his high income and low stress job? must be an idiot
Strangers on the internet insist you’re an idiot. Your parents and friends question your decision or reasoning. All conventional wisdom suggests to suck it up, keep your head down, hold onto that W2 income as long as you can, never let go, fill up your retirement 401k and Roth IRA for as long as possible and collect your RSUs and 2.7% annual raise every year until you can’t anymore.
Everyone is different. Don’t listen to other people projecting their risk aversion onto you. Be brave. Life is short. Don’t be a little bitch. Don’t give up and don’t settle. It’s your life we’re talking about. Romanticize it and chase your dreams. Don’t be a little bitch!
