    The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

    It'd be $1,533 a month before or after PMI? Because you can get those loans, but they require you make additional monthly PMI payments on top of your mortgage and those payments do not go towards building equity and don't go away until you have 20% equity in the home. I imagine, once including...

    I don't know that that's a fair characterization? You can't just walk up and buy a home, you have to have a down payment (20% to avoid the PMI premium) plus closing costs to pay out of pocket. For your example, that $240k home would require that they have more than $50k cash lying around to...

    My mom paid us an allowance for our grades, because in her words "school was our job" and then the chores were just things you had to do as part of a household, and I always thought that was a pretty good way to do it. But it seemed to work better for me than our siblings because they have...

    Again, even if true, wouldn't all of that come from us? If it's cultural, it's from us not establishing the culture we want in the home. If it's habits, then same. If it's diet, then it's us not feeding them the right foods. If it's genetics, then it's our genes. Everything that our...

    If that's true, then that's also our fault because we are the generation that raised them.

    The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

    It's easy for us to think that we were just tougher, smarter, more independent, etc. than kids these days, and in some ways that may be true, but it's also just a fact that the situation for a young adult in America today is significantly worse than it was for us.

    Yeah, I was pretty explicit that I wasn't suggesting you were making $9/hr in 1990? But to your specific life experience, housing cost has almost doubled since 2005, which way outpaces inflation. And renting is not much better: So to your specific example, your son buying or renting a...

    I would encourage you to look at some of the numbers. This is not even considering that housing has way outpaced inflation nationwide, but just based on pure inflation: $9/hr back even as recently as 1990 would be the equivalent of $22/hr in 2025 (and inflation in 2025 to 2026 was a crazy...

    The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

    I don't know, I think it's understandable. Situation for young adults these days is sort of fucked compared to when we were coming up. Inflation has made COL shoot up and salaries have not increased to match and housing costs have increased at even faster rates than inflation. Super...

    Just wrapped up a pretty solid pull session, all things considered. At a different gym than usual for this day, so machines a bit different, but effort level was very high and was able to progress some weight on exercises that were the same across gyms. Amazing what 450mg caffeine and a little...

    It's a weird thing, because the longer you stay in the job, the more money you need just to be able to stay in the job. It goes out damn near as fast as it comes in (especially in NYC) because you have to outsource your whole life. No time to cook? Gotta order food or buy meal prep services...

    Didn't make it to the gym this morning, or bed last night. Got 90 minutes of sleep sitting at my desk. Might try to run to the gym around lunch and (hopefully) log off early today. Will see how it goes.

    The staffing people know, but nothing they can do about it. Not like any of the partners would drop me from their deals just because of have work on another partner's deal. They haven't given me any new staffings for a while, but I haven't had anything close in a long time and a lot of my...

    Yeah, I have maybe an hour or two of productivity after the gym, but that's just until the rest of the 500mg of caffeine I took to get to the gym wears off and then I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at my desk. Would really like a more regular schedule so I could train in the afternoon or...

    Honestly, think the Atlantis at my other gym feels a bit better than the Pannatta one. Part of that maybe is that I couldn't get the ramps set up high enough on the foot plate to really take advantage of them because it's a bit too wide for the hooks they come with, but I'm gonna try to get the...
