I could, and have, but I like hearing some first-hand opinions. Diving head-first into the absolute swamp that is the Google-sphere just to read an article about pre-workout written four years ago by some meathead fitness guru is the last thing I’m interested in doing.
Yes, but it happens frequently. Where I live, most people seem to have a severe case of “keeping up with the Jones'”. They’re paying out the ass for nice houses they can’t afford or paying for a ridiculous car and living in a low-quality home instead of budgeting to afford decent, functional housing/transportation and saving. It’s why I think financial advisors have one of the most important jobs in society today.
Does this work for girls as well…? Because I’d love to actually get up and work out before work, but, you know, sleep. What exactly is pre-workout/will it make me fat?
As long as the column doesn’t go away. I love your answers, but I also really enjoy the input everyone else gives and the conversations that spark. It’s a nice little community.
26 year old money bags: for comparison, I’m 26 and have $30 in my savings account currently (although I am contributing to my 401k). Granted I’m paying off a lot of debt right now before I go back to finish my last year of JD school (possibly a terrible choice on my part), but you’re fucking crushing the financial game. From my standpoint, 26 and 27 seem to be the “finally start to figure out how to money” years.
I left out the part where I’m learning how to spend responsibly because I’m mid-20s and apparently that’s a struggle for me. If I stick to my budget (bills, groceries, gas), I could have probably $300 leftover by the time the next pay period comes around. But, because I like $15 yoga classes, stuff, and food, I’ve been lacking on the budgeting front lately, hence the $48 sitting in my bank account. It’s a work in progress.
I would rather work at a job that I like and only have $25 in my account towards the end of my pay period than sell my soul to a job I hate for bookoos
The Baybuh is 33 and has an almost 10 year old (9 and 3/4, he’s very proud of that fact), and I came into their lives two years ago. Becoming a parental figure to an 8 year old when I was 25 was definitely an experience, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’d take a polar bear for the Little Man.
The only reason I came in was because I didn’t want to waste my PTO, and since the office is dead, it’s almost like a free day. I’m off tomorrow as well. More weeks need to be like this.

P.S. always glad to see a fellow Okie!
Come to Mississippi where a pack of Marlboro Lights costs like $5.30.
Having the best looking lawn on the block. PGPM.
But what is pre-workout? Someone please explain to me.

Don’t worry, Nick, the month is still young. Plenty of time to improve your ratio.

Turning 27 on Monday, and I can honestly say I will be clinging to the next three years before the big 3-0.
Sometimes I’ve found that cilantro gives me heartburn. Anyone else?
Wait, I’m sorry, what??

I still had my hellacious commute, but a chill day at work is better than using my PTO.

Don’t think we haven’t forgotten about the dog, Bandujo. Golf can’t replace a pet.
Very flattered, and I appreciate the chivalry, but taken.
