LIFE ADVICE GENERAL

Ok, I'll bite.

>Political advice (history, ideologies, interests, voting etc)
This may be controversial to those that are more active politically, but I feel like following the news is just designed to make people scared. Scared people are obedient and don't question things too much.

>School advice (study methods, social dynamics, making the most of it etc)
School is important but keep in mind, it just gives you your starting hand in a long and complex game. After that, the real work begins. So, play aggressively and have specific goals in your head.

>Work advice (career choice, dealing with colleagues, promotions, etc)
This is a tough one, since my goal of eventually escaping work isn't what people normally mean when they ask for work advice. But, don't get too involved in politics and try to get along with people when you're there. The people that work best with others tend to get laid off last, even if they may not be as skilled as others.

Also, switch jobs often, like every two to three years. Every move should have an increase in pay.

(cont'd...)

>Financial advice (how to make and manage money, investment, saving, loans etc)

The main point I have here is live small and invest aggressively. Pump as much as you can into low-cost index funds to start you off. Avoid high-interest debt like credit cards, but don't be afraid of favorable debt, like mortgages.

That being said, don't be in a super big hurry to buy a home, unless you know you'll be around for a while. And, if you've got the balls, buy a duplex, not a SFH. If you work it correctly, your renter will be paying most of your living expenses.

Ultimately, you should be working toward financial independence, where your investments pay most/all of your bills and your well being is independent of your job. Once you get older, you'll BE more stable but you'll FEEL less stable.

>Relationship advice (how to find, court and sleep with a woman, marriage, divorce etc)

I got married late and I feel like that was a good choice. In your 20s to early 30s, you're still changing as a person and you don't know what you'll really be like. So, give yourself time to be on your own and discover what you want out of life.

It could also be that you'll never get married, and that's ok. Don't push things in that area, that will only make a hasty decision and could get you into trouble.

But, even if you find a good partner, you'll still be unhappy with it from time to time.

how bout sauce first you fkn faggot

>politics
both parties will screw you, just in different ways. they value power over all else. Dems didn't complain about Obama's abuses, the GOP is staying quiet about Trumps. Take your pick but recognize that you're picking how you want to get fucked over.

>school
never go to college because your parents told you you have to. it'll be a disaster unless you want to go and have some idea what you want to study. Never be a commuter student if you can at all help it.

>work
it'll suck and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. don't bother trying to improve your situation at a shitty workplace, your recourse is finding a different job. You probably shouldn't be in IT, it's a shitshow even by these low standards.

>finances
don't live within your means, live *below* your means. track where your money goes. people don't need half the stupid shit they waste money on. Fear debt. Debt will fuck you. It's voluntary slavery.

>relationships
idk, bee urself? I have no good advice here.

>family
accept that just because you're related to these people, doesn't mean they're necessarily a good influence or someone you have to have around. You're your own person, you don't belong to your family.

>religion
maybe I'm too jaded and nihilistic but I think the key is accepting that religion is just comforting stories. None of it's real and nothing really matters. that's pretty cold and makes for a spiritually lonely life, but for me (after growing up catholic...) it was the only way to resolve the cognitive dissonance that comes from not accepting what you know is probably true.

My credentials: I made it to my late 30s without killing myself.

>Family advice (how to treat your parents, becoming a parent, leading a family, etc)

I've always tried to stay close with my folks. They are responsible people as am I and we help each other out. But, there are some parents that will take advantage of the kids, you can't let that happen. Some people are an endless chasm of need and you will not be able to do anything to help them. So be prepared to cut ties with these types of people if they turn out to be this way.

On having a family of your own, I have to say that I have zero experience here. I was always terrified of having children, so I made damn sure it didn't happen. I have no regrets and I feel pity for those who have children.

>Religious/Spiritual advice (all things God related, finding meaning etc)

This is the toughest question. Basically, there's no intrinsic meaning to any of what we do here, so the most satisfaction you can get out of life is to work toward a goal you're passionate about and have some laughs along the way.

Take some risks, especially when you're young. At the very least, you'll have a good story to tell.

That's about it, meng.

>Political advice
Politics wise it's sometimes the best to keep it to yourself. I ran an experiment on normies where I went full 14/88. It was interesting to see. They tried to slowly understand it. But then found an excuse to hate me. No matter how tolerant a person is if you're on the wrong side of their politics they will probably hate you.

>School advice
Study hard. Try get the most out of school. You're in a 1st world country so you have a chance which most do not. Social wise try and go out every so often. Don't fall into over socialising either. Seen that crash and burn
>Work advice
Go to work. Get the job done. Leave. I treat my colleges nicely and they won't have a reason to hate you. Dont be a push over either.DO NOT BRING POLITICS OR RELIGION INTO WORK. Accident waiting to happen. Try just focus on work as much as you can. Distract yourself with it and normies should get the idea to leave you alone. Works for me. Promotion wise try be on the bosses good side.

>Financial advice
It's really good to save. Save and save and save. Saving opens alot of doors for you to enjoy yourself. Try be in as little debt as possible. Have one loan. Your Morgage so you can eventually own your house. Avoid credit cards. With investing be prepared to lose alot before you gain.

>Relationship advice
Have priorities in life. Relationships are important but try not to get fully embroiled in them. Seen guys lives ruined because they were overly involved with women. Get a balance. Don't be a bitch. Be a man. Have confidence. Lead. Women want to be led. You're going to be faced by alot of rejection as time goes on but it's all a learning curve.

>Family advice
Try and have a good relationship with the folks. It goes a long way and it's nice to depend on parents if you fuck up you can crash at their place.

>Religious
Don't be a psychopathic Christian/atheist/islamist etc trying to force your worldview down people's throats. People hate that.Everyone has their own spiritual journey. Respect that. If you worship the flying spegetti monster. That's fine. If you want to share your religious beliefs be open about it with the right people.
