That becomes their identity and life purpose. Not everyone can just do little hobbies forever or get deep into philosophy and rationalize their existence.

if you work in industry or use chemicals at all then an OSHA HAZWOPER 40 Hour is pretty dang useful to your employer.

Getting your CDL is pretty easy. Pretty much any transport job is comfy. My first job was a box truck driver. Got to drive around all day, listen to music, sit on my phone while truck was being unloaded, etc. I then got my CDL and got into OTR. Wasn't for me so I quit and got a job as a yard jockey making $17/hour to move trailers around the lot when needed but otherwise fucked off. Take home almost $3K a month with overtime. I'm a high school dropout btw so this is dreamland for me.

The Comp TIA exams, MSCEs, and similar certifications are stupidly easy and are pretty versatile. I got the A+ cert after studying for one day - not exaggerating. With that said, the harder, the better - the A+ is a joke, the MSCE/Cisco certs are better,

There are a lot of Coursera courses and their ilk, should you want to go that direction. I don't find them very impressive.

Personal trainer certifications are also decent - I have the CSCS, but it expired on me because I refused to do continuing education credits. There are some that don't require CE, I think.

As another anon mentioned here, >>1503299, getting a CDL isn't a bad idea if you find yourself down for manual labor.

Stuff like the CISSP/PMP are well-respected in business, but if I recall they have some irritating pre-requisites.

Six Sigma isn't as well respected as it once was, and it's a stupid mire of expensive programs, but it's still maybe worth doing. Ditto with Lean/Agile/Scrum/whatever the fuck.

Bartender certs are a bit of a joke, don't bother.

I looked into massage therapy to impress girls, don't bother.

>Am I doing okay?
probably. Keep up on your retirement and try not to cash out your house.

you're doing better than probably about 90% of people your age. If you really want to turn up the heat keep an eye out for opportunities to become self-employed in your field or seek promotion in your career. That's where the adults actually make their retirement. Moving up in management or striking out as a consultant or contractor. Obviously one of these is riskier than the other.

If I was you I might consider getting my captains license and some liability insurance and taking people fishing for moneys.

Didn't read this all but nice!

I'm 20 with just over $20k invested

It's your decision really. I think it depends on some other factors such as what you do for a living, ie hard manual labor, you want to start saving more just because your body will start to decline, but if you have a cushy office job then that should be fine.

But looking at your expenses, the only thing I could really point out that I would say you should cut is your tv package. With netflix, plus like hulu and amazon if you have those, I don't think you would need to spend $100 on that a month. think, that's an extra 100 in your retirement every month. I could also suggest trimming down your spending budget by like 75-100 dollars, but that's probably a little too nitpicky.

Think it will go up much?

Don't forget BTU and NETE. Christ you newfags get here and start making crystals and microwaving your ifags. I'm glad people like you exist. Stay poor.

I view them as all the same. Maybe 15-20 years ago one was better than the other. Now virtually every store accepts both.

Mastercard is stuck in the 80s/90s in the public psyche. Visa is the international card of the future. Amex is for people who want to appear rich. PRAISE VISA

Do they just need to rebrand?

Why are they sticking with the two fucking circles?

>nice guy
No, you're not, you're a piece of shit, and let me tell you why. You do things for people only because of what you perceive is in it for YOU. That's the definition of selfishness.

Your problem isn't niceness, your problem is you're a spineless, gutless, piece of shit who somehow got it into your little, money-grubbing head that being everyone else's doormat would somehow benefit YOU.

You know why I'm being so hard on you? I am sick and tired of people using "niceness" as an excuse for other personal shortcomings. Niceness in of itself is a positive trait that people should strive to have. Passivity and a lack of assertiveness would be better descriptors for you.

One last side not about why I'm so butt-blasted by your post. You know "nice guys" that are now universally made fun of? Who act like treating women like basic human beings entitles them to sex? Well you're the same way, except instead of sex from women, it's social (ie. jobs, promotions) or financial (payment for services) gain.

>how do I think more about money

It's called realizing without money you're basically going to be a pathetic loser when you grow old. Keep that in mind and you'll have motivation.

Use some of the money to buy knee-pads, makeup and baby towels, etc

Sleep more (8hr), eat better, attempt to workout, take stimulants (caffeine)

I take a 200mg caffeine tablet on days that I'm feeling more fatigued than usual, but this really doesn't help too much. I'm a regular coffee drinker as well and maintain a very strict, healthy diet (6'2, 165lbs).

There's doctors that save lives working longer hours than you, and people serving in the military that barely get 2 hours of sleep at a time. Yet here we have another college student going on the internet complaining about how tough life is. Man up or kill yourself. You don't even have it that hard. Nothing about your day involves any physical exertion. You're just a lazy fat fuck that browses cartoon porn all day and calls it a computer technician job.

why the totalitarianism, burgers?

How the fuck are we to know that?

Nothing probably, there would be no significant change other than an early dip from uncertainty like with brexit

it will already be priced in by the time the market opens

PEPE will moon by 200%

I saw a Youtube thumbnail of some faggot in a Guy Fawkes mask and closed the tab.
What were they marketing?

>>1503010

The whole thing was advertising for a anti-abortion group/party/organisation. Guy reveals he's behind all the artwork and the website and how everyone is asleep to the real evil. Cut to graphic footage of abortions while dramatic music plays. Guy comes back on and explains that while people were looking for secret codes and symbols about the illuminati, babies were being aborted. The rest of the video goes on from there. Lots of shouting and screaming/

Basic message sort of like Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal. "You'd be horrified by all this satantic conspiracy child sacrifice if it was really happening, so why arent you horrified by abortion".


Possibly aimed at the wrong demographic, as conspiracy theorists tend to be somewhat extreme Christian types who are against abortion anyway?

>>1503017
What a waste of good artwork.

>>1502999
Its possible, just not worth it unless you find an untapped niche. I would suggest you learn a skill and freelance if you want to make any solid source of income.
