@secrite That's good! I'm not strong enough for that yet. I als have these phantom feelings of my phone in my pocket buzzing even though it might be on my desk.
I switched all my friends to Discord, too. That helped a lot.
i think that a core thing that makes us happy is daily progress - it's fulfilling - once you experience this for long enough (i experienced this daily when i was 16 through powerlifting) you realise that you're untouchable
@JDB oh my bad, I didn't see that. Yeah, but IOS calendar not Google.
gotya
It's one reason I am questioning my habit of playing games. I feel like I am hacking my desire to achieve things when I play games. I drain myself of wanting to achieve as much when I play too many games. It's weird.
right now - i am anxious sometimes because of my financial situation - for this i am speaking to roko for advice - once i move on from this i will be untouchable
for me, i like the idea of working in 3 month blocks (so splitting the year into quarters) and setting out goals for each quarter
it's like how a boxer prepares for a big fighg
@JDB You will easily take care of yourself. You just need to figure out your base "burn rate" - how much do you TRULY need to survive then make at least that (anything more should be saved/invested).
i think it helps me escape how shallow life is without living inside a bubble of some kind
my only expenses are £10 a month on phone, and about £10 a week on learning sources
when i move out, i will spend around £400 a month on rent
And food?
and £100 a month on food
if i earn a lot, £200
Ehm...I'd revise your food budget
I spend that much in two days
i will get into gym again
<@549393998788296736> I am the same way. I am feeling myself lose interest in "climbing the ladder" and all the daily minutia (other than technical challenges). I just want to build stuff and solve problems. After work, I workout and socialize.
Yeah but still. What would you make that would sustain your work schedule?
@secrite sure there isnt. but do it for you. not for society's approval.
@JDB I suggest: $500/mo rent + $200/mo food + $25 phone/gym/fun. You can learn all else for free.
i know - ideally i'd spend more, but for my current situation i jsut want to live on the basics so i can support myself easily
if you really want to work alot cause you want to do it sure. but theres no reason to work more than you have to to support your lifestyle and build a relatively stable future
for food - i was planning on cooking in bulk and freezing
@shadowlessnexus True.
travel is cheap, i live near a big city so it's like £8.00 a day
not bad - i earn £2000 a month at my curreny job
i can move out now if i want to - but i was going to take a risk and earn a reduced pay to work on a cool project
I personally spend: $600 rent + $200 food + $150 transport + $25 misc (gym/hookers/blow). It's below poverty in the US.
i was going to rent a room in a house, what do you think about this?
If you can go to school for no debt or very cheap - do it. If you feel you don't need to and can start work sooner - skip school.
Yes!
I lived in a 3BR house with 4 people for 4 years.
It became quite annoying after year 3 due to female drama. Just be careful.
