$250/mo gyms are not about nicer equipment. The point of a $250 gym membership is to exercise exclusively around other people able and willing to also pay $250/mo. They aren't expensive because they're desirable, they're desirable because they're expensive- One of the funnier theories I forget where I heard was: CEOs are either super-fit or fat, never just kinda pudgy. This is because CEOs are relentless optimizers, and they either love fitness or love good food and commit to the preferenceWhen you meet a business leader, does their level of physical fitness influence their credibility in your eyes? Why should or shouldn't it?
- This is probably the true-est version of this meme> “Mommy, how did we get so rich?” > “Your Dad is a complete psychopath with unlimited risk tolerance.”
- I think there's a massive unexplored gap between people who think "work-life balance" means working 50 hrs/wk instead of 60 and people who think it means working 28 hrs/wk instead of 35
- Potentially controversial take: If you are 27, and you do not see a path to owning your residence at 35 in your current city and career, then you should plan to change either your career or your city by age 30"There are now more homebuyers over age 70 than under 35," per FORTUNE.

- Among my highly WASPy opinions is that nearly all small-fry acts of poor ethics when the stakes are trivial are big red flags, and the more openly/shamelessly they are done, the bigger the red flagWhat is a subtle sign someone isn’t a good person?
- This is how basically everyone in elite professions does it, except with 15-20% of their paycheck instead of 10no person in their 20s became a millionaire by investing 10% of their pay check with the hope that compound interest magic will make them retire fast
- A competent GOP would cut a campaign ad that's just alternating clips of protestors at 60k+ tuition schools and clips of biden promising loan forgiveness and blanket it to every middle-middle to lower-middle class demo

- If you "can't build longterm wealth" making 500k/yr fully remote at 33 you have a spending/saving problem not a golden handcuff problemI did a consulting call today with a 33 year old guy who makes $500k a year at a fully remote job. 30-40 hrs a week. 2 kids + wife.
