Did you steal my diary? God damn

My recommendation? Dominican Republic, south, paraíso, pedernales, polo, those places land is beautiful and cheap as f~~~. With 50,000€ you can buy a s~~~ load of land, but they are starting to see the tourism potential and s~~~ ain’t gonna last.

I had plans to work in some other place in Europe and make good money and then move there in 10 years.

Im not Muslim enough for Sweden, Ireland rejected me for a position even inferior to my hability, Spain is a low pay s~~~ hole.

Im taking the little money I have and moving back to the Caribbean.

I wish them all well on their way to riches. It may very well happen that people will find happiness. I want people to find their happiness and hope that my cautious approach is only an exercise in preparation and never needed, however, a road is not always smooth

Yet, in my world I approach things today and tomorrow..
seeing a possible, at least temporary .. time that we may face on that yellow brick road to the emeralds and riches .. I have live through several Black Swan events

Today:
buying a portable 2300 watt generator for AC/DC power
100 ft of 10 gauge extension cord to fee refrigerator
filling clean 55 gallon barrels with water for survival
keeping at least three months of minimal existence food
having a wood stove and enough firewood to keep warm
keeping a portable solar powered lith-ion battery pack
camp lanterns that will run for thirty days on 4 D cell
a functional hammock with fly/roof for outdoor sleeping
portable water filters and purification w extra buckets
keeping the fuel, food, and water with wood stove ready

No need for warm in the Caribbean, water is an issue but it can be solved.

Live long and prosper my hermit palls.

Everybody can be a millionaire … during a hyperinflation.

“A loaf of bread, please.”
“That will be 1.5 million.”
“There you are. Now I’m broke.”

I’m a millennial – I’ve always thought the same. Call me entitled or w/e I have a great education and have taken steps daily to help make this a reality. I also have friends that are well on their way.

HOWEVER, since coming here I’ve begun to question WHY.

MAINLY it was to impress other people and make my dad proud.

Now I just don’t care about that and do what makes me happy.

Turns out, I need a LOT LESS to live the life I want.

I will certianly earn well over a million in my lifetime. At 27 I’m building a great career. – but now my end goal isn’t all about the money and the LIFESTYLE ‘we’re’ sold over the news and social media.

It will be about making time to do the things I actually enjoy.

Earning a million dollars, and saving a million dollars, is not the same thing.

Let’s not bash the younger generation here. Petty bulls~~~.

There are as many delusional, lazy slobs in their 40’s and 50’s as their are in their 20’s and 30’s.

We are the same men we were 100 years ago. I’ve seen this type of thread here before and won’t hesitate to fight logical fallacies.

How many baby boomers are washed-out drug addict hippies?? How many of them have literally no retirement?

Don’t give me this s~~~ about young effeminate men raised by single women. I see plenty of smart young men ready to take life by the horns.

I also see a bunch of pathetic losers in their 60’s who can’t retire. How do you like them apples?

LOL

Beautiful, just beautiful.

53%? I wonder what the gender breakdown of this poll is? I would not be surprised that the majority of this 53% are women.

I’m an 80’s brat. The last generation to play outside, with neighborhood kids. Unsupervised by mother hens, playdate crap.

I thought when I was getting out of high school, 1 million bucks is a piece of cake.

I’ve gotten saltier, am a scarred survivor at this point. 1 million bucks means nothing to me now if it means sacrificing my principles.

I could live happy in a 19′ foot trailer. Being an old f~~~ Wal Mart greeter.

Always have a hidden rainy day fund. Live comfortably to my standards. Putting as few dollars in 1% oligarchs pockets as possible.

To me, that would be a satisfying end to my travels in this corrupt age.

Ah, I knew you and I had something in common. I graduated high school in 1985. Had no idea where I’d be at this age and didn’t expect to live to be this age.

I don’t make much and don’t have much, but I live comfortable enough. I have a job, house, clothes, food, a truck and still have enough money to have a little fun.

Nearby where I live, someone recently moved a small shed onto some lots. The shed can’t be much bigger than my 10′ x 16′ shed where I keep my motorcycle and my lawnmower and that’s about all I can keep in there and still walk around a little bit. Someone lives in that shed. Talk about minimalist living except, because they live in that tiny “house”, they apparently have plenty of money left over for other stuff. Beside that shed they have two big boats, a couple of full size trucks and at least one car.

I believe most of us have more than we need to survive. I know I’m a spoiled American.

Will you have your own beach? Can I come visit you and swim there?

Can’t we just dig a big ass hole, down to the lava in Antarctica and claim it as MGTOWPIA? I want to be in charge of the pill boxes and beach defenses. Set up 50 cals and smoke the lesbo pirates that try to land there.
