Harden the **** up. Also shut the **** up and train.
Get your **** straight. I've had to start over career/job-wise three times now. I've learned to be organized. There are a long range plans A and B. I know that if my company, or the one I work for, goes down the tubes, it will be a temporary set back at best. Being prepared, avoiding impulse buys and saving money has allowed me to hold onto both houses I've owned even when I was out of work for more than a few months.
The older you get, the more your body hurts. Try not to complain about it though. The 70 year old guy next to you is in twice as much pain, and he's not bitching about it.
Finally, the words are spelled "goal" and "maturity". Take the time to install a web browser with a built in spell checker. Then use it. There's really no excuse to misspell words in this day and age other than slothful laziness. After all, all it takes is a right click on the mouse.
Don't be a sloth.If you do not test yourself against the unknown, how can you truly know if the tools you possess actually work? -

Idr me shitting on anything besides wild assumptions drawn about my character. Just have a good time man, all will be well. Also, maybe don't ask someone to troll me then call me a lemon if I **** on somebody else.
What kinds of things have you done to prepare for your company going down the shitter?
Yeah my shoulder was extra sore today plus my vagi.... wait, you said to STOP bitching.The older you get, the more your body hurts. Try not to complain about it though. The 70 year old guy next to you is in twice as much pain, and he's not bitching about it.
This was a joke carried on from another thread. I'm actually a pretty smart dude who cares about punctuation, grammar, and spelling even if I talk ignorant as ****. I can't stand to type dumb unless it's a joke.Finally, the words are spelled "goal" and "maturity". Take the time to install a web browser with a built in spell checker. Then use it.

Personally, I paid my taxes ahead of time using the quarterly program. I also put a medium amount into savings every month. My goal has always been to have more than a year's salary in savings. I've gotten there and then lost it more than once. I've also never had to apply for unemployment because of my savings. Other than that, the before mentioned avoiding impulse buys and using credit sparingly have probably been the other key factors.
I also paid my worker's comp, SS and carried insurance. I could argue that paying all that was ultimately a toxic expense to my company, but when I got audited there were no penalties. When I got sued, they lost and had to pay all my legal fees.
Full disclosure, I decided to work for other people in 2009, and am still doing so today.
I have more than a few friends whom have much bigger houses and nicer cars than I do. They're also up to their eyeballs in debt. For me, avoiding debt other than sensible mortgages and car payments has definitely been instrumental in surviving and eventually bouncing back quickly from lean times.

**** you for reminding me I'm 30 in a month.
On the other hand, I'm 30 in a month. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, am fitter than I have ever been, am strong, financially better off, confident in myself, confident in my interactions with women from meeting them to trying to get them to leave in the morning, I have achievable goals, a five year and a ten year plan, have the weight of experience behind me on many fronts, have style that suits me, have friends and family that love me and I them and am respected as someone who knows what the **** he is talking about, on the internet as well as in real life. Something that still shocks me.
30s is actually the golden era for guys, we think it's our 20s, but we're wrong. In our 20s we are still considered "too young" to know what we are talking about, this phenomenon fades out at around 27-28. In our 20s we might be able to pick up a cougar, but they are only using us for our youthful exuberance, not our skills. In our 20s girls our age are looking for a guy in their 30s. In our 20s we waste our energy on fruitless pursuits because we are too optimistic. Our goals are skewed.
In the modern era the boy becomes a man as he approaches 30.
