I'll be honest I've tried gimp and found that I'm terrible and not interested in making or editing any form of digital media. I've also tried Photoshop. Paint is more my speed fast and ugly.
Multi unit properties should be the only form of real estate investment. I'm not going to begrudge a person for holding onto there last house as a rental when they move because there is a market for single family home rentals that's reasonable.
1000 units is way to much and will just lead to subsidiaries or passthrough entities being formed to continue current practices.
Should be like 10, even that it's too much imo but I'm less worried about the small time landlords than the big corps.
As long as this is just the first step it's ok, but we need to force corporations to return inventory to the market.
Software Dev here I've typically done 90% of the steps before I call help desk to fix whatever random bullshit Microsoft or enterprise problem I'm having. Once they start down a path I'll tell them every step I've already done before they ask. So we can get to the magic step that will actually fix the problem.
Know your financials, income and outflow. Use a credit card for everything but pay it off every month don't over spend.
Unless you have a full ride scholarship do your general education at a community college.
If you don't want to go to school join a trade union apprenticeship program. Talk to your local unions while you're still in highschool so you can be prepared for the process.
IMO electrician > plumber/pipefitter > HVAC > the rest. Carpenter might be above HVAC but I didn't really talk with any of them. I got hurt in my final year of my plumbing apprenticeship, I did graduate and become a journeyman plumber but left the field shortly after graduation to avoid back surgery. I'm a software engineer now.
Wait for kids.
Learn to cook.
Exercise.
Work hard.
Read.
No nicotine, cocaine, opioids or other fiercely addictive substances.
Everything else in moderation
Don't rush to have sex, but I'm def not advocating waiting till marriage.
Didn't settle in your relationships, just because you've been together a long time doesn't mean it needs to be forever. I didn't marry or give up my desire to not have kids with my 5.5 year relationship. Turns out I just didn't want kids with her. Imeet my wife 3 years later married her after a year and intentionally had a kid the following year(more than 9 months after our wedding thank you very much)
I grew up, and live in a tourist destination. My highschool was trash. Tourists are a nuisance. We have a few big events in town yearly that bring an insane amount of people here and most locals just hide in their house for a week at a time. I would leave but it has the only weather I like. I make really good money(well over 100k) in a non tourist job and can't afford to buy here.
It means you're a genie in a bottle baby
