@aaataylort @kristenfrick_ Too much pressure on hs grads to go straight to college. If you aren’t sure what you want to do, learn a trade or work a gap year or two before you commit to the financial burden of uni. Or, try out technical/community college. May find something you love along the way.
In these empty consumer products and luxury goods. Buying a house is a whole other topic, but the time for being a very diligent saver in your 20’s/30’s has never been of greater importance. Be patient!
There are two sides to this. Have things gotten ridiculously expensive over the last 3-4 years? Absolutely. The issue lies in this era of social media, influencers, and easy access to loans. People feel like they are entitled to have all the things their parents have. Truth is..
But keeping up with the joneses is not something you are supposed to do at a young age. The system is set up to addict us to consumerism and buying the next shiny thing in order to be happy. In reality, we need to appreciate the things we have and quit looking for satisfaction..
What are we actually doing here? This amount of money is handed out so casually that politicians don’t even grasp its magnitude and what that could do if used for worthwhile, domestic purposes. Ridiculous. https://t.co/ExDjKbBLuY
A new Giraffe calf has joined our tower! 🦒💙🎉
The 165-pound male, Franklin, was born on Sat, Sept. 9, to mom, Tuli, and dad, Rocket.
A neonatal exam found that both Franklin & Tuli are doing well off-exhibit.
Meet him in the Africa! exhibit later this month!

BREAKING: Median cost to buy a house hits a new record of $2,748/mo, up a MASSIVE 90% since 2020.
In other words, buying a house today costs nearly $33,000 per year.
This is 46% of the median PRE-TAX household income in the US.
Post-tax, homebuyers in the US are spending nearly 70% of their income on home payments.
Meanwhile, the median monthly apartment rent just hit a fresh record of $1,859/mo.
How has it become to difficult to have a place to live?
This is really it. If you want to shoot lower scores, keep it simple. You don’t have to be lights out every time to be a low handicapper. Keep the ball in play, aim middle of the green, 2 putt, move on. It’s not glamorous, but it works.
There are roughly 65 million golfers in the world.
Less than 1% of them are scratch or better.
People assume they must have magical powers on the golf course.
But here are some stats that should blow your mind and, more importantly, give you perspective:
I think WFH is anecdotal. As the US is transitioning to a more service based economy, there will be jobs that should be WFH for cost reasons. From a manufacturing side, working at a plant/shop/job site will always remain a key part of our economy with boots on the ground
Office is dead and this is why.
Most people are not overly ambitious and care more about this than they do about “getting ahead.”
Owners/CEO want people in the office because it’s more productive, but most people don’t care about their job/company enough to go back now.
We are kidding ourselves if we think they will come back en force. Ever.
Taking all controversial social topics out of the equation, there’s a reason why the US is the greatest country on Earth.
Let’s not lose sight of this because we have certain things we don’t like. We’re set up for success. Let’s use our best resource to continue to be great.
I considered moving out of the USA.
After some research, I realized leaving is stupid.
There is no chance the USA will stop being the global superpower.
And the best country for opportunity.
The reason surprised me:

@JMonne Would you say incorporating high intensity cardio into a lifting regiment is a waste? I’m thinking along the lines of long term heart health in conjunction with weight training. 3/2 ratio
On average, have your daily encounters with strangers in public places (restaurants, venues, shops, etc.) been more rude/unfriendly over the past several years?
