About 7 years ago I decided I wanted more for my life than working a 9-5 until I was old enough to retire. (In societies eyes.)
I got to work learning how to earn money other legit ways online that would create passive income for me eventually.
Except... I got stuck in the learning phase for about 5 years, because I always kept learning new ways to do things and thought it was a must before taking action.
Each time I learned something I would think that there was probably something I still hadn't learned that would ruin my chances if I didn't seek it out first.
It wasn't until after 5 years did I finally learn that IMPERFECT ACTION is far better than INACTION.
This lesson applies to a lot of things in life.
You will never feel ready. "Someday" will never come. It will never be "the right time".
You just have to take action with whatever you already know and that is by far the best way to learn.
Don't do what I did and waste 5 years of time when I could have already been building my wealth.
I value and cherish this fact that you want and understand the value of financial stability and you are passionate about it. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you.
Consistency is the key for achieving something along with making sure you're in the right path.
I've learned that not all opinions should be let out.
If you give too much, you'll be the one who'll be hurt in the end.
We should live in discomfort.
Sadness is not permanent so is happiness.
Everything will disappear one day.
It's ourselves who hurt us the most.

Being born. I mean it. Everything costs money and I had none of it. Nobody would be my friend if I was so penniless, that I couldn't afford even some bubble gum. So I had to do most things myself, take on my own personal responsibilities and jump through 1000 hoops over 17 years just so i can be an autonomous middle class citizen. That is something, that I think most people were born with by inheritance. I inherited nothing at all but poverty. And even then I shook off poverty entirely this year.
To never let anyone borrow or use something you don't want to be damaged, broken, or stolen. I have always been the type to take extra care of people's things & return them if I borrowed it. But many many many others are just not the same.
What I noticed about this world is that good people are often repaid either with evil or in ways they dislike knowing or unknowingly but please this shouldn't alter one's personality. Once people's actions forces a drastic change in one's personality, to becoming one's good old self again can be challenging. As the saying goes, it's easy to switch from being bad to good but difficult to turn from the redefined you.
Dw, I don't really like striving to be anyone's definition of what a "good person" is but my own. And that will range depending on the situation & goal. So in this case, not sharing my valuables wouldn't alter my character. If anything, it would strengthen it! I must be in an advantaged spot to help others.
But I can see how someone not sharing expendables (that could be perceived valuables) might. This is why I didn't say not to let anyone borrow "anything." Only the things we don't want to lose or be damaged.
Especially since it's hard finding people to trust! But if I trust someone else, then I'd be more open to allowing them closer to my valuables. But the minute they show me they aren't respecting them, priveledges revoked!
so i basically slacked off the entire 7th grade and cheated in online exams. then i thought that i should start putting some actual effort for final exams. you dont have no idea how hard it was lol, so many chapters i wasn't familiar with, i kept cramming, stressing and crying. i was heavily burnt out at that point. thankfully i managed to get to 8th grade with a solid 75%.
buuut this is not the end. i thought i had learned my lesson. i did work my butt off until i knew i was slacking off again. and my 8th finals are just 2 weeks away, lmao im in danger
I don't have words to describe how much I miss my family and friends now that I am miles away from home. Sure I can always visit but things will never be like they used to. I really wish I could go back in time!
I never really took my family or friends for granted or anything but I never realised how easy things were at home. I mean I was complaining about always having dinner parties at home!
I don't miss the parties, I miss the people. So much. And I miss my old life.
You can never trust family. They can con you into doing something for them, they majorly fuck you over... hard (excuse my language but merely being descriptive in my explanation) and you'll have to pay the price for their mistakes the hard way. Even if you ask them for help, they'll never do it.
For family to abuse your generosity and kindness,... they can have the ethics of a terminator machine. They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with & I know for sure as hell they can't be trusted. They have no feelings of remorse nor fear and they absolutely will not stop ever... until they managed to achieve something from you that they want, they disappear into the unknown and I for sure as hell can promise you 1 thing right now... you will NEVER hear from them again.
I am not faster than a dog stronger than a truck cows will kick you horses will bite you never touch the female dog while she’s getting pipe fat people sweat from the slightest movements baking soda is not flour those pancakes were terrible flour is flammable Never be too good in bed with a woman you aren’t married to never touch under the table or desk some of that gum is fresh if you put it in her butt your dick will smell like her butt for awhile Bananas have no business in vodka look before you sit a lot of women don’t wear underwear in public girls bleed from their lady parts Negative off first then positive on car battery scars don’t go away
Plan for the worst and beware of taking on credit. I got too comfortable taking on more and more debt as my job allowed me to meet the payments. Then I crashed my car, lost my job, could no longer meet the payments and the only jobs I could get without use of a car did not come close to covering them. That was over 5 year ago and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces.
#1:Nothing beats solid preparation. #2:Most people aren't as nice as they appear to be. #3: Best to always depend on God and yourself. #4: Materialism doesn't bring happiness as the society tends to advise it does. #5: Best to keep your mouth shout. #6: The ones closest to you tend to be your biggest enemies. #7: Worrying never fixed anything nor will it ever.
Well, always have some savings... Being homeless is worse than you can imagine... it hits you that hard, that 7 out of 10 never make it off the street again...
Trust me, that downward spiral is harder to come out than 100 years boring school...
I have two I learned in the last year that hit hard. The first one is that no matter how much you love someone they can leave you at any moment no matter how long you have been together and pretend you never existed. The second is that not everyone you called a friend is actually your friend, some of them are actually scared to be your enemy

Follow your intuition and not people. What people say and what they do are rarely ever congruent. The people that judge others the hardest are also generally the most sordid people you’ll meet. Arrogance is a sign of actually being a meek weakling as true confidence views itself as valuable amongst others but never above others. Far too many people are entitled.
I understand from your first view that love isn't real. The actual reality is that probably it wasn't with the right people who would equally reciprocate the love you show or you haven't found those who are meant to be in your life.
Funny thing is, those who one's related to can even disappoint more than an outsider cos you expect so much from them. I say this from bitter experiences.
@therealzeroworries Yes, but at least it makes logical sense to look up to a parental figure or older sibling. I meant more like celebrities and athletes and stuff; cause they're usually messed up people behind closed doors, and it's inevitable that they'll disappoint you if you admire them.
1. Always drive carefully. No matter how much you know the route. 2. You don't owe anything to anyone. So, if someone asks for something you don't like, say no!
I don’t believe that’s true. I don’t believe in fate or karma or any of that. I think some people are just destined to be alone and I’m one of them.
I sense you're an attention seeker or you probably crave to have someone who can be always there with and for you, someone you can confide in (might even be a guy). But rn, the loneliness is overwhelming you but for starters, stay positive about this thought. Funny enough, positivity brings good surprises tho it might tarry. It's not a matter of fate but apply faith.
If I was wrong about my observations or theory, kindly forgive me.
I’m a victim of physical abuse. I was beaten as a kid and then I dated people who emotionally abused me. I’m damaged and terrified of anyone else causing me more pain.
