Bah.  Baby boomers are in full-fledged retirement mode.  Lots of openings coming available.  It's a great time to be a Gen Xer.

Not necessarily.  When the economy shit the bed, the most affected were those within 5 years of retirement;  a ton of them have found themselves working and putting off retirement to make up for the 401K market losses.

Maybe it's a government thing then.

How many thought they'd be movie producers or write scripts?  ;)
Actually one kid a year younger than me from my school is a writer for WWE. :punk:

he probably banked a year's worth of base pay and combat pay while he was on tour

I wonder what that looks like.

$3,500 a month into my pocket tax free.  :)

Just banked out on Intel last week, +52% profit on $26,000.   :bowler:

Still have some invested though, but if we're including assets, depending on how much marty's flat is ( although it is Poland so probably cheaper than an RV in the US) he may come out ahead despite my car and new motorcycle.

Nice work, son.  Last week was a good week for cashing out of stocks for Languish peeps. :smoke:

If you're new to this though, beware of... capital gains tax.  :(

Hmm, well it is nice to see that there are options for those otherwise useless to society.

I assume there is no hope for you though.  :console:

I was feeling that way for a few months, but now I'm over it. :hug:

Prozac is great I hear.  :)

On a side note, does it make you even more bitter that you're already at a dead end and little old loser me is already ahead of you in just about all measurable categories while being younger?  :yeah:

Never tried it.

No not really at all. I've got some good experience and I'm on to the next one.  Whereas as soon as you get back to your career, you've a good chance of dying.../your career involves living in intolerable conditions. It's like the Mono plan but worse.

Also, is being a child with a child a good thing? :unsure:

Oh and did you have a better cost-free education?

Awww, you guys are so cute like that.

Ah well I'm not doing infantry again, going to fly so it's not nearly as dangerous and the living conditions will be good.   :ph34r:

I love my son, it's something you really can't knock on until you actually have a child I don't think.... At first it seemed terrible but now I'm very thankful. :mellow:

And I'm not really a child at 22 any more, despite what you would like to insinuate.  ;)


University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana 100% paid for?  Definitely. Tier 1 and in the top 30 for institutions in the nation depending where exactly you look and for what.  Where'd you go again, UCLA?  Wouldn't say that's better than where I go.  :huh:

No silly, child. Stanford (let alone the fact that I didn't pay a cent) is demonstrably better.

Fuck you all. I was smart and chose grandparents who were rich.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Did they teach you how to use commas at Standford? :D

And that's obviously only because you're black.   :lol:
