This is pretty impressive. Apparently, I can buy a meal in 6 minutes of work.

I've played with the new Macbook and really like it but haven't actually made the purchase. I have a 2014 rMBP, 16GB and it's a beast. I do a lot of programming and run a lot of builds/test suites and CPU/Memory i

Your guess would be way off. I am neither of those things. Simply a person looking to share his experience. I have much better things to do with my time besides fabricating elaborate stories on the public Internet. Not trying to be defe

Keep on working smart and doing your best to save. I have learned my lesson the hard way. Nothing is permanent and everything is subject to change. The anxiety that occurs when you are faced with financial issues and/or a job loss c

I also use S3 for application storage of static assets. For internal use we use Dropbox all over the place.

Awesome! I've read both. This is really sound advice. Where were you a month ago? :)

Would love to get some hints/tips on a refactoring for this. This is something I came up with a while back and I'm sure it could use some improvement.

I'm not sure if it will make you smarter, but I find that nicotine really helps to keep me focused when I'm working on tough problems. Unfortunately I smoke, but am considering getting on the patch.

Wow, this is great advice! I really appreciate your candor and modalities. I'm going to try and put this to work, immediately :)

Thanks for reading, everyone. I'm hoping to gain some insight from other IT folks out there as to where I can go from here. I'm really burning out and could use some solid advice. Cheers!

Exactly. I am not monetizing my blog, looking to become famous, etc. I'm just a techie guy who wanted to tell his story. People will be skeptical and I encourage everyone to form their own opinions. In the end I was there and lived

I can appreciate your skepticism but it happened. I could have done a better job adding more detail to explain my story better so it made more sense to others. But I also didn't want to turn it into a small book. I really don't

The car was already behind on payments, that part I omitted from the story. As well the house was behind on payments so I let it go to foreclosure. Not the wisest idea, but it happened.

I applied at several places but due to my age and experience I was deemed "overqualified". So I resorted to other means to eat and survive during that time. I think I answered this before, but I didn't qualify for government

Trust me, I've learned all about financial responsibility. Over the past 6 years I've made great strides to save and live a very minimal life now. The lesson has indeed been learned. There were some details omitted from my post

1. I didn't own a revolver as I always favored semi-autos 2. Yes, looking back it now almost 6 years later it wasn't as bad as when it was happening. Yes I was on the brink of dying but I came out a stronger person and have learn

I was just beginning to make 100k/year. I had the knowledge but was irresponsible with not putting enough away. It was a mistake which I will not incur again.

by shakycode 11y ago
I wasn't clearing 100k I was grossing it. After taxes and overhead it was more like 50-60K. But I understand where you're coming from. I had just started making really good money and my expenses were pretty much equal to my int

Quite the contrary. The whole homeless experience has taught me to save every penny I can in an "oh shit" or "emergency" fund. These days I'm well protected and typically have 5-6 months worth of expenses in case

I've learned my lesson when it comes to debt loading. Now if I can't afford something, I simply don't buy it. I don't even have a car note or mortgage. Everything is paid for in cash or I simply go without. I'm g

Yes, I'm doing ok now. Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the house foreclosed after 2 missed payments. Bank of America moved quick in my instance. I could have stayed in the house but I also lost my car and my house was very far away

These days I save every penny I can, drive a used car, live frugally, and try to keep the "oh shit" fund alive. I live way below my means nowadays.

I actually have no family and the one friend I could count on was a "full house". A couch would have been much nicer than a chair at Starbucks, for sure!

This was a dark time in my life. I believe everything happens for a reason. That gun jammed and changed my life.
