Moving into my first place in 3 years tomorrow That period of time was a ton of moving around, which I’m glad I did I learned so much about myself - met countless people from random circumstances that I still talk to today, experienced cultures that are way different (I spent major time in 11 different cities), and got to better understand who i am fundamentally as a person Around half way through was very done with it Mostly because the constant moving process made it way harder to focus on myself, which conversely negatively affected every part of my life So when I got the keys to my place it felt like a massive weight was lifted off of my shoulders Anyways, now its time to lock in 🙂

“I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself” - Henry Ford have been thinking about this quote a lot there is the financial interpretation of this quote: "i should spend $100 more on a apartment that will make me work 10% better" "I should get better clothes that make me feel 20% better about myself, which will make me work 15% better" but also the philosophical interpretation "if i get good grades in school i will get a good job" "if i get a good job i will save money" "if i can save money I can do xyz thing" this promotes a culture of living to work, instead of working to live, which leads us to where we are socially as a world today 🤷‍♂️ (although, you should 100% love what you do)
