I guess this is essentially a philosophical question. Kind of like "would you defend your country?"
You can say you would but how could you ever really know unless the situation actually arises? Perhaps it's just my ego trying to convince I'm notably different from others.
Isn't that what self-determination and non-conformity is about?
I'd definitely eat one
Keeping large amounts of cash in the bank is not a very smart financial move. Due to inflation, you're effectively losing money. You should have enough cash to get you through a crisis without needing to touch your investments, but the rest should be put into low-cost index funds, for example. I "earn" more from interest each year than the vast majority of people can save from their wages. In my opinion, working-class people can't afford to miss out on the phenomenon of compounding interest. That should be taught in schools. Other than owning a house, it's basically the only other way to generate any significant amount of wealth for average person.
The way I think about it is that being "rich" means having a lot of money in the bank, whereas being "wealthy" means having enough investments to live off passive income indefinitely. Rich people can still live effectively from paycheck to paycheck, while a wealthy person's wealth is tied up in assets. This means they can't necessarily splurge a ton of cash on a yacht or similar luxuries, but they can live comfortably off the interest without having to work. Billionaires, on the other hand, are a whole different animal because they can afford to do both and much more.
I'm self-employed contractor. I make enough to buy whatever I want, and I have plenty of savings. However, I often find that my anxieties boil down to finances. Even though things are good now, I'm always worried something bad might happen in the future. With enough money to retire, I wouldn't need to worry about that anymore and could move on to worrying about other things, like my health and such.
Oh, you're right
They're not trying to trick people into re-watching videos they've already seen. YouTube generally does a pretty good job of not recommending those videos anyway. They're simply testing which thumbnail/title brings the most traffic. It might seem petty but it makes a huge difference.
3 months into running my own one-man handyman business. If this works out it'll be the best decision of my life.
This will affect me in about 20 years
Long story short: completely stripper the hex slot on the back of the freehub body while trying to remove it. It’s incredibly tight. Can I just take a pipe wrench to it from the front or do the teeth seen here on the new part lock with the wheel hub making it impossible to turn?
Blew my freehub muscling up a steep incline. This is why I ride with half of my workshop in my backpack. Had zip ties packed up specifically incase of this happening.
I once snapped a chain and had to walk my bike back home. I never wanted to do that again so I've been pretty much prepaired for anything ever since. Usually it's just flat tire I've had to deal with. Had to fix the chain another time too but had a chain tool and a masterlink that time. So far the greatest breakdown has been when I snapped my derailleur hanger and had to shorten the chain and convert it into single speed to ride home. The freehub had been experiencing skipping for some time now so I can't say I was too surprised when this happened.
Ofcourse a 5 meter tall concrete wall would be ideal but good luck building that in the middle of the apocalypse. What do you feel like would be the next best option?
My personal choice currently would be to find rolls of 2 meters tall steel wire fence, locate a secluded hilltop somewhere in the woods near water and pull the fence tight between living trees and finish it with barbed wire on the top, mostly in case of other survivors trying to sneak in.
I'd start by securing a small, maybe 5m x 5m perimeter as the starting point. This can be accomplished in a day and I now have a safe place to sleep in. When I obtain more fencing I would start building a second layer around the first one with about 3 meters of space in between and as my camp grows and I get more supplies I would just keep building additional layers. If there are longer stretches of fence between trees I would add additional posts as well as 45 degree supports to prevent a horde from pushing it over.
Wire fence like this comes with atleast 2 additional benefits of being able to see thru it as well as enabling you to kill zombies thru it with a spear.

Yeah I've listened to him, Dave Ramsey and others as well. It's what originally got me into investing around 6 years ago. I should've started way sooner..
