I'd love to dive in my childhood games, such as Tomb Raider, Hitman, Might & Magic, etc. Might even consider buying an old PS1/2 console to be able to play them. And, you know, take my time to play them slowly :) Do you feel doing the same once you FIRE? If so, what video games are you certainly going to play/buy? [link] [comments]  |
| Why they dont teach financial literacy in schools Posted: 03 Aug 2019 06:57 AM PDT I'm sure you heard it a million times. "ScHoOL DoesNt TeaCh YoU AnYthiNg YoU nEed in The ReAl WoRld!" It's partly true. I had to learn all this financial independence stuff on my own. Coming out of high school, I didn't know anything about taxes but I knew the stem cells of a leaf. Money management, taxes, and learning about debt should be mandatory in school, but I think I figured out why they don't teach you these things. Because if they did teach you, you most likely wouldn't get loans on cars and houses and probably wouldn't go into student debt at any university. You wouldn't use credit cards, so the banks wouldn't be making passive income on your outstanding debts. Your debt is basically an asset to someone else that gets them passive income. While you struggle to go to work and pay your bills, they're just sittin back and collecting money. [link] [comments]  |
