Not investment advice obviously


Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

Bucco’s guide to making $400k+: So, your dumb ass has been lucky enough to stumble into making a 1% salary. Congratulations, you’re at the doorstop of generational wealth (or early retirement). Here’s how to not fuck it up 1. Assume this isn’t permanent: The first thing you need to recognize is most people don’t keep their 1% salaries. There’s a lot of luck, and variable comp, that usually goes into that kind of paycheck. So have some humility and live like it ain’t permanent, because it usually ain’t. Which brings me to point #2 2. Live below your means: Most people who start making fat paychecks start racking up fat credit card bills. But if you follow my first rule you won’t do that. At least for the first 3 years you will live like you aren’t making a lot of money. You will save. A lot. This is a gift to future you 3. Take care of yourself: If you are making this much you are usually working very hard. So take care of yourself. Invest in your brain and your body and your health. It is a marathon, not a sprint, as they say. And one of the reasons people don’t maintain their high paychecks is because they burn out 4. Pay it forward: Fate has smiled on you. You are not only obligated to pay it forward, but it is the right thing to do. One day you may experience something bad, unlucky, and catastrophic. People will remember that you did not neglect others while it was your moment in the sun and they will come to your support. Be kind, especially when you don’t need to 5. Maintain perspective: You are not better than anyone because you make a lot of money. There are many ways to be rich. Be sure that you stay humble, and continue to invest in your friends, families, relationships and health. Or you might one day find yourself with a full bank account and an empty life Follow these rules and I assure you that the odds of living a prosperous life will tip heavily in your favor

NYC summers hate your weekends. I analyzed 3 years of Central Park rain data to see if the feeling was real. It was. 27 of 38 summer weekends had measurable rain. That’s 71%. Friday was the rainiest day of the week, with rain on 43.6% of summer Fridays. Basically worse than a coin flip for your evening plans. Sunday had the highest rainfall volume of any day, averaging 0.17 inches. It may not rain every Sunday, but when it does, it commits. Thursday was objectively the best day to be outside in NYC: lowest precipitation, clearest skies, least weekend-related misery. The wildest stat: 70.8% of rainy Sundays were preceded by a gross Friday or Saturday. The weekend basically telegraphs its own downfall. I built a full dashboard using NWS Central Park data with every weekend tracked and every raindrop counted:

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.


This might be a hot take but I know someone at meta who makes $400k a year and is quite literally capped at that number for life - likely will never get a promotion strong enough to change that. 9-5 until they’re what, 50? This is not living. No matter the salary.
