The HR dude gave me the low down. He said to also open a Roth IRA since I can't get any deduction on Traditional IRA.

@Deleted User check out TFMs economics series: monkeynomics

What game are you referring when you said you want to “understand and better play the game?”

Its 2 hours and chock full of useful financial info

I guess I just have one question for now: I feel like if I don't have long term relationships I will face extreme loneliness but I grew up really badly and know how people can be together and yet feel immense loneliness. How do I remain non-bitter, focused and happy while following my own path?

good q

@YuriBezmenov If I do choose to date it will be just for a sexual release. I don't see the point to long term relationships. Maybe in my 40s but I have too much I want to accomplish. So, how to "play the game" of having sex and leaving without commitment.

@Deleted User two choices imo: either make new friends in your area/spend more time with your homies OR learn to enjoy solitude. The second is bit harder for people whose personality makes them super social by nature.

No woman will cure your loneliness. Only you can do that for yourself. Instead of wallowing in it, put that energy into your hobbies and work.

@Rhunespire Turd Flinging Monkey? Damn, there is so much content I don't know about.

@Deleted User if you wanna bust a nut, #JustGetaADoll

@GingerSnaps I'm attempting that now. I just got an entry-level job in data analysis with the eye to data science. I honestly have no hobbies except video games, working out, shooting guns and reading/writing (about tech/business).

Those are literally the best hobbies a Man could have

@Rhunespire I just bought a toy off the HHH latest video. Might I add that video was so bad hahaha. I don't know if I could do a doll yet.

Well I recommend one have passions you actively curate and goals you want to accomplish. Two having a system that plays on your psychology of wanting to help and give to people without someone manipulating that function in you ie an animal, taking care of nephews and nieces.

I've never had a sex toy because I always lived with others.

Now, my first year living alone 😉

@Deleted User That's a list of hobbies though. Many don't even have one so you're ahead of the curve compared to many others there.

@GingerSnaps @YuriBezmenov True, thank you. I will just give myself a break. I want to accomplish a lot with my life and I only discovered all this about 3 weeks ago but I already feel complacent. I just started my new gig too.

what kinda stuff u wanna accomplish btw

Fuck.

It's why married men have to make more - for their family, not for themselves. I want that internal motivation for myself alone. I've always thought I had to serve others.

Fuck fuck fuck

@bigboi I honestly don't know anymore... which is apart of the problem.

I left my sound card plugged in all night last night and all day today.

*This is not good...*

@PreschoolFightClub sound card?

Yeah

Im not a Casanova nor am I focused on it. The women I’ve been with have been through school and social circles. So I cant help you with how to get initiated with women. What can I tell you is you do decide to try, is be honest about what you want and be able to drop her if shes playing games or not reciprocating to your wants and needs.

@Deleted User ye man, atleast you're trying to figure it out though

External soundcard I have.

1) Become debt-free.
2) Max out 401k/IRA/HSA/etc
3) Make $100k by age 26-27.
4) Keep working on logic/math/programming skills and become a data scientist by age 30.
5) Possibly work in finance with data science skillset.

Actually.... am I derailing a convo going on right now?

Kinda lol

<:oof:413025778347933717>
