Once I go into that I get incoherent and just want to fight

I'm 36, so I'm fairly well established in who I am

I'm 36 too actually

I've had a lifetime of people trying to change me

these days it's "get fucked"

And i've had that too, I have some advantages, we could talk about it but I don't want to type it

haha it took a lot of patience not to tell that prophit dude to shut up in the roundtable on sunday

I didn't see it, what times have the roundtables been lately?

For me I stumbled across it at about 8pm NZ time

UTC +12 for me

last one I saw was like 1am EST

I really need to leran this EST stuff

I'm usually asleep then

where are you based?

which is why I don't show up more

I live near Wash DC in USA

nice, I was in DC in 2016

I wanted to see the centre of the empire

Let's say my commute is 8 minutes door to door.

I don't live in DC

And at this point, I telecommute 80% of the time

I stayed at an airBNB north of silver spring

what is your job?

Crappy part of town, nothing good there

I barely work anymore I started my company to overcome a crap vendor and profited hugely

congrats dude you clocked it

Basically I was the in demand tech and said "f your payscale" and got nice contracts with my clients

I'm thinking of going freelance in what I do, because I can make $150/hr

might drop a day of work and take up a day of freelance

Be careful, the company is a nice shield. Make sure you have at least a living wage lined up before you do it. Insurance is expensive, the business license wasn't so bad

And I'll say this, I was a one man operation, I paid so much taxes it was out of this world. I took in half a million and barely past six figures in personal income by the time it was all done. This is why I learned investments.

far out

I am very tempted to get my CPA and spend the rest of my life helping people give as little to the gov as possible

They took SO MUCH from me

and I didn't even get divorced and have no kids

at least no child support kids!

that's incredibly

it's not the same in New Zealand

You have to figure out your best path forward then. In the US, marriage is a death sentence.

Children are a death sentence.

I've got to go, PM me if you need a source for ukraine or even curious
