@Liqvidity@dougboneparth I never said it was bad advice. You said not buying coffee is worth the sacrifice. Just be clear and specific, It’s worth it to YOU. It may not be worth it to everyone. That doesn’t mean they’re missing out on building discipline.
@Liqvidity@dougboneparth Point being, discipline isn’t binary. Working these simple pleasures into a budget isn’t a lack of discipline, it’s called prioritizing. The discipline comes in when you sit down to decide what is worth it and what isn’t, And knowing it doesn’t have to be the same for everyone.
@Liqvidity@dougboneparth What if I save 15% of my checks, max out 401k, contribute to investment accounts every week. Don’t buy things without having saved for them, have set budgets, and savings accounts for specific goals. Am I still not disciplined if I treat myself to a $5 coffee on my way to work?
@sweatystartup Video games are only one way to waste time. You’ll still have to teach them discipline, balance, time management etc. Also please be prepared to explain to your kids why their friends have something that they “can’t” In a way that isn’t just “because I said so”.
@EAST_BERLIN@GuyDealership Tesla will expand the network accordingly if/when bottlenecks cause issues. I imagine Increased demand will only cause the Tesla network to improve over time even if there is short term growing pains. You’ll be okay I promise.
@d_dariusd @Whatchwork@glovonteTV @Pinejumps @BleacherReport All F1 drivers have personal trainers and often compete in cycling/running races in their down time. They may not have the same skills or physique as an NFL player but they are athletes. And F1 race is similar to any endurance sport.
@joe_armitage @yumekuimimi @tomhfh Going from east coast to west coast will probably always be best suited for air travel. I’m not arguing trains should completely replace airlines, Just that I think there’s a justified application for both even in a country of this size.
@joe_armitage @yumekuimimi @tomhfh FWIW I live in Kansas City and grew up in Nebraska, so your example hits home to me lol. Getting anywhere worth going is easily an 8 hour drive. Our airport is good but still most flights require a connection and doesn’t solve the cost to fly problem.
