  • I used to dabble in coding. Never done it professionally. To be a full time developer would probably kill me, I remember constantly thinking of how to build this or that function, or how to do a certain thing, or why something keeps failing. I’d constantly be thinking these things, in the shower, while brushing my teeth, while driving, it was making me insane. Don’t think I could do it professionally.








  • You can “game the system” by picking credit cards that offer some kind of cash back incentive, and don’t carry balances month to month. For example the chase freedom card does 1% on all purchases and 5% on specific categories that change every quarter. I’ve had this card for like 9 years, I’ve never paid any interest because I pay it off monthly , and we make lots of “free” cash back. The key here is don’t go get a credit card and buy stuff you can’t afford, that should be hammered into youth from the beginning, just buy what you can afford, and if you’re disciplined enough you can put all of your purchases on the card and benefit from the card incentives for basically free.
