This is what I did and now I have to shop on Grailed ?
I had no idea they sold rolls of summer tweed on Grailed.

If I was into food, other than just eating it, having a food truck could be a lot of fun.I'm currently thinking of going back and doing food. I use to really dig it before everything became a contest even though the chef bro culture was grating. Maybe say screw it and start selling ice cream out of a push cart.
All this rental market stuff is interesting. I ended up having the interview and also got all the deets and now I'm sitting around wondering if it's even worth it.
Overnights and 60k as the salary. My wife makes similarly so I don't doubt I can make it in Brooklyn but I'm so sick of working overnights that I might end up just using my savings and looking for a new career. Go back to school or something. Haha
Kyoto is going backrupt and taxes may be increasing. Honestly COVID got me wondering what's the next step right now.
Strong disagree with that. If you're investing in going back to school then make it something that is interesting and you enjoy, not something solely "with a good job projection".
If that ends up being one and the same for you, then awesome.

Yeah Everytime I look at one of those high end project manager or sales jobs, they just seem ultra soul sucking. I don't need the jawns that bad. My wife works in the tech field and she already hates a lot of it. No grass is greener in the end.

Hotels are fun because you meet tons of cool people but recently many places are restructuring due to COVID. Many are getting rid of dedicated night managers/concierge and just passing around the duties. Working 3 day shifts then 2 overnights is hellish. It's been a wild ride the last two years.
I've been in tech for 20+ years, more if you count corporate IT before that, and I am So. Sick. Of.

money doesn’t make you happy but it sure makes life easier.
The research is quite contradictory on this: up to a point, money makes you happier, but then it becomes less and less significant, and the point at which it stops making you significantly happier isn't super high (can't remember off hand). There are also contradictory findings about how much individual happiness is linked to national wealth, and what seems to be the most important thing is a combination of guaranteed basic needs met and economic stability / predictability - in other words not having to worry about poverty or you or your children's future.
I feel like there are a ton of different inflection points on this and it's also very personal. I've read that the happiness curve bends at around $75k annually (i.e., more doesn't make you significantly happier). I don't really disagree with that from personal observation. That being said, making a lot more than that has gotten me to a place where I can quit working entirely at 45...the happiness that freedom brings is beyond anything I could ever purchase with that money.
You know I often hear about retiring early and not working at all. I don't even know what I would do. For the most part I like a lot of the stuff that my type of work brings especially socially. If I had enough money to retire in 15 years, I'd probably just take a different cool job or switch careers to something that is a passion. I'd definitely work toward that level of flexibility. However working a job I hate for 15 years for big ass money seems like a waste of an already short existence. Gotta find the right balance of good pay and can deal with the work.
Frankly I wish all people could do what they enjoy and be guaranteed a comfortable living. Free leather jackets for all.
