  • I work with people that are already retired and pulling passive income. A good portion are only working for medical insurance. If these people were to get a job elsewhere or just re-retire since they don’t need insurance anymore then younger people working under them can get promoted. Then the really young people could get hired and trained up.

    Because how the system is set up, even if you have enough money to live without working, you would still need a job to cover insurance.

    I have no clue what state you could be from where soda fountains in the dining room aren’t free refills.

    I’m from VA and lived in a few different states. I’ve work in fast food. The syrup and carbonated water combo is cheap. The cup is more expensive. Most restaurants would pay the few cents and keep the customer coming back. I always used to refill my soda when I left places. I’ve been cutting back on soda, so I don’t do that anymore.

    The ‘trick’ the fast food workers are supposed to look out for is the customer asking for a cup for water and then filling it with soda. Most cashiers don’t care enough to track you though.









  • You do need rest weeks for muscle, ligament, and tendon recovery. When I start feeling the health effect lessen (mentally), I take extra cold showers (not right after exercise as that hurts muscle recovery). Cold showers or ice baths, if you got the opportunity can reset dopamine levels. I think you just torture yourself for a few minutes and that makes you feel better about the day in comparison, but science says it does stuff on a cellular level that helps.

    I heard of an idea of 4-5 walls to get over while in the cold water. First you’ll be cold and can’t think. Just move around and try to get use to it. After a while you will get to the point of being able to talk with shouting and shivering. That’s a wall. You will soon get cold again and that will start your next wall. Maybe 5 - 10 minutes for me. It helps refresh my outlook.
