@omgsidewalks Be honest in everything you do.

I'm 22. Please recommend to me oddly specific life tips. No general “surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible please.

@Dearme2_ I stopped telling my employees how to do "it" and started asking them how they would do it. And I listened. The company would only be as large as I could handle. But when I changed my attitude, it would be as large as everybody could handle. What happened next was a miracle.

Real talk How did you make your first 1M?

@bluewmist Actually working a 12 step program.

What is something relatively cheap that improves your life by 100%?

@fatfabfeminist Are you talking about yourself or projecting?

it’s actually crazy how much debt the average american is in just for like maintenance and paying bills. this shit is so unsustainable

@OrevaZSN Is that in Africa?

Working an 8–5 full-day office job is such a trap. You have no time for anything other than work, you come home tired and moody, and then you have to go to bed early just to do the same thing the next day for the next 30 years.

@Notwokenow Not that it solves the tripling of your water bill, but others may find this beneficial. My hometown water utility has a system called AquaHawk. It tracks near realtime my water usage. And I set alerts for hourly, daily, etc volumes. It's free and an app on my phone.

It wasn’t that long ago that my water bill ran about $60/month. We pay $177 a month now. That’s crazy.

@WoydeRick @fasterfreedom Whoa! Critical thinking and proven solutions are not welcome here. 😉

@fasterfreedom Parents should open a 529 account when a child is born. Fund it for 18 years and your costs will be minimal. The answers are already out there.

The average inheritance in America is $46,000. The average cost of college is $120,000. Your kids are starting in a hole before they even begin. Own assets. Leave them something real.

@OrevaZSN Life hack here. Getting in and out of your car gives you about 100 steps. Pounding a nail into a board, 5 flights of stairs. Ride your motorcycle for 30 minutes, 3000 steps. Now that you know, use it, but don't abuse it. 😉

Can someone please explain how people manage to get 8 hours of sleep, hit 10,000 steps, go to work, attend appointments, clean their house, exercise, spend time with family, and still have time for hobbies? When I work 40 hours a week, it just seems unrealistic.

@theficouple This may sound strange, but one of the hardest things of retirement was converting from a "savings" mindset to a "spending" one. I had been saving since my paper route at 12 yrs old. It took me 4 or 5 yrs before I felt "I have enough," though I actually had enough all along.

Every millionaire goes through this season of life: "Sorry I can't go out tonight, I dont have the money" Checking: $1,500 Savings: $6,000 Stocks: $380,000

@FluentInFinance If you include the tax base created by those CEOs, it's more than 99% of people pay in a lifetime. The real question is, When is the last time you got a job from a poor person? From your administrative assistant? Or your lab tech? Probably never. CEOs pay their fair share.

Raise your hand if you agree that any company led by a CEO who lives in a mansion, drives a luxury car and flies in a private jet SHOULD PAY TAXES. ✋

@james_xond We really didn't stay "at home" all that much. Instead we went exploring around town, in the woods, out by the lake, wherever. No matter the season, there was always something to investigate.

People who grew up without internet, how did you deal with boredom at home?

@DanCollins2011 It's sad. Even with a lower price, you may have to pay the whole amount. Many insurance companies view an implant as an elective procedure. A bridge is cheaper and insurance companies want the least cost. Be careful too, sometimes the crown is not in the implant quote. 🤞

U.S dental prices: My Mom was just quoted for 1 tooth implant. $12,000.

@TrumpNewsFanss Yes. It's not like the DOE has been around for a hundred years. States can handle it just fine and we remove a layer of bureaucracy.

Question for MAGA from a liberal woman. "Hi, I'm just wondering if you guys who voted for Trump — did you vote for the Department of Education to be dismantled? Because that's what he's doing right now. MAGA?

@TJH314 @ClistonBrown Your proposal only works for people who take personal responsibility for their actions. It would work for you. But far too many would balk or claim it's unfair when an actual bill comes. The rest of us then foot the bill. We see this in healthcare every day every city.

@ClistonBrown I will gladly pay for my own police and fire services and skip property taxes.

Older people complaining that they shouldn’t have to pay property taxes once their homes are paid off are a big reason why we’re *all* going to lose our homes when today’s young people are in charge. If you want police and fire protection, pay your taxes. Don’t be a freeloader.

@micyoung75 @RichSaluki @jjs92285 Yes. That robot is right after the personal jet pack everyone was supposed to have by now.

@RichSaluki @jjs92285 I’m not sure about that either.

My wife heard from a friend yesterday. Her son - around my age, maybe a little younger - got laid off. His whole department did. Forensic accounting. Gone. Not outsourced. Not restructured. Replaced by AI. I keep thinking about that. Forensic accounting is not a simple job. It requires judgment, pattern recognition, years of training. And it's just... gone. This is not a future problem anymore.

This is the most misleading packaging I’ve ever seen This is called “slack fill” packaging This means a product meets the legal weight requirements on the label, however they make the packing huge with a lot of entity space to deceive customers Data shows more than 70% of food products in China are guilty of using this deceptive packaging This should be illegal in every country on earth

@MmisterNobody Oh man. Am I going to need to carry my credit cards and phone in a Faraday bag so Walmart does know (in real-time) that I have money? I can see the future will have fake biometrics so when we're scanned they think we're poor and give us the lowest attractive price.

Walmart is officially going full force and is rolling out digital price tags in all 4,600 US stores, with digital screens replacing paper price tags by the end of 2026. Every shelf. Every store. All controlled remotely from one central system. This gives Walmart the ability to change the price of any product at any moment. Based on demand, time of day, inventory levels, or whatever algorithm they choose. And the moment Walmart moves, every major retailer in the country will follow. Once everything turns digital, it's game over.

@WallStreetApes 😳

American orders a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks. After pulling it out, she noticed a there seems to be a nail in the bread A restaurant leaving a nail in food can lead to a personal injury lawsuit based on product liability This 1 nail could mean over $100,000 in settlements

@WallStreetApes Nope. According to Burger Kings website, medium drinks are 20 oz. What we see in the video is the old large (left, 35 oz) versus the new large (right, 30 oz). Shrinkflation, yes. Medium versus large, no. Google photo of old, new, medium and large and it is obvious.

Burger King releases new large drink cups If you fill up a medium cup and pour it into the large cup they are almost exactly the same The difference is maybe one or two sips “What is the point of getting a large cup? You can just get a medium. It's the same thing” Burger King just quietly reduced the capacity of its large drink cups from the previous 35 oz to the new 32 oz standard A medium is 30 oz…. So the difference is only 2 ounces now Burger King has been quietly applying Shrinkflation to their menu Some franchisees reduced 10-piece nuggets to 8 while keeping the price the same Burger sizes have been shrinking as well

@TooMuchNoise23 @middle_class_us I was looking for an excuse to mute or block the Debbie Downer. Thanks for pushing me off the fence.

@middle_class_us $40 a meal. That’s 10 days of wages in Bangladesh. You need to be taxed more highly - pay your fair share to the Bangladeshi government.

Groceries didn’t just get expensive. They got disrespectful. $10 for snacks. $7 for fruit. $40 for one meal. Same store. Same cart. Different reality.
