Posted June 21, 2018 It might be over stated, but be try and be happy with less, you can drive a car that cost 1-2 months salary or get a new car, because "NEW" and pay 1-2 years salary only for it to no longer be "NEW" in two years when something newer comes along. † † † In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Posted June 21, 2018 Author 1 hour ago, Dan Castellaneta said: Don't collect VHS tapes. @Dan Castellaneta Why not? I love VHS tapes and own hundreds of them. The only thing that sucks is how much space they take up. I sell dozens of them on eBay. Sure they take forever to sell but if you list a couple hundred at a time(individually, one at a time), you'll get bites. Usually when people either get their taxes back or when they have extra money to spend. The key is to make sure you do your research on the actual value of each individual VHS. A good 80% of VHS tapes have no value over $5. Never try to sell those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good 80% of VHS tapes have no value over $5. Never try to sell those. Most VHS tapes are barely worth more than $2. Remember the whole Black Diamond thing that happened with the Disney tapes when people were charging $5000 for what was maybe a $5 tape? I usually wouldn't pay more than $5 for a singular tape (again, I actually do collect tapes) unless it were something genuinely rare, or a demo tape I'd really want. In all fairness, though, a number of people capture the tape previews, myself included, and people like watching them, so there's that. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Posted June 21, 2018 Go to school, whether it be for a trade or something else. Don't go to school for a field that's already saturated. Learn Mandarin. Be yourself. You can't keep up fronts forever, and lies you tell will come back to bite you in the ass. Maintain friendships. They require work, they do not maintain themselves. Work out. Your body enjoys it, as does your mind.

Like I feel less sad if i start crying in my givenchy suit, rolex watch in my tesla car, hugging a hot model, than in walmart shitty clothes that are half teared and full of ice cream, hugging my dead cat because I couldn't pay the vet bills. That makes no sense. How can *not* overspending on useless/overpriced crap make you end up unable to pay the vet bill ? More likely it's the reverse: The guy driving the Tesla, wearing the suit and Rolex, is the one ending up with the dead cat. Also, how do you go from not overspending on useless/overpriced crap to "teared clothes full of ice cream?". When your old clothes are torn and unclean-ably stained you buy new ones, the point is those don't have to be Givenchy, there's plenty of sensibly priced, decent stuff out there. Perhaps you're still young yourself? Think about what you've just said: If you feel sad about something, hopefully something profound - because if you're going to be sad for every little thing that does not go your way life's going to be tough - then sitting in your overpriced metal bucket made by company X makes you feel way better then you would in a sensibly priced metal bucket by company Y. The wisdom on how silly that is comes with age (for some), that's why this is advice for the young. (And, off course, the irony is that by not overspending but saving and investing when you're young, thereby leveraging your time horizon in your favor, in the end you'll be the one being able to afford the Tesla, suit and Rolex with your passive income while the other guy's stuff is being taken by the bank for not being able to make the monthly payments. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best paid electricians and plumbers are the ones that learned everything in the field. 9 hours ago, dizmo said: Framing doesn't require schooling down there? Nope, by the time you get out of school, half of the knowledge could be outdated and be code illegal. Plus, my high school district started framing classes during my senior year. Not only what they taught was wrong, being at least 15 years out of date, but it was exclusively conventional classroom learning. While that'll work for math and science, I've spent the last 6 years of my career teaching new guys, and it does not work for framing.
