Are you asking about one’s ability to retain projects in one’s memory or how long one keeps a project before deciding it’s not gonna happen?

Answer to one is I write it all down because I’ll forget. Answer two months.

Interesting thoughts, but who is really willing to risk their life, family, and passion for that? I keep thinking I want change but also will never have internal peace by being worried about the state of the world…

Family, decorations, giving, and drama

That’s a great idea! I do have a carbonator!

The flavor of Coke Zero with preferably no sugar but doesn’t have to be that way

A clearly non-brainwashed post history against China? Yeah. Your post liberal comments when you aren’t being a jerk. Maybe try not to be too braindead

I think you need to look up the word material.

Not to just play whataboutism but wearing masks to protests against a genociding nation just got banned in some states of the land of the free. Sadly, not being allowed to criticize is on the rise everywhere…

There are many ways of allowed criticism of the CCP. A certain degree of self censorship is applied no matter where one lives. But yes that is certainly one large negative of Chinese political rule!

I want to say selfhosting but that seems not so special on Lemmy. If I can host it myself and it’s FOSS I do it.

What does this even mean

How do you even do that?

Found the liberal who can’t read history…

Edit: What’s with so much toxicity. This should be left at reddit… You reply with history and get cursed at.

It’s fine if you don’t know history.

I would still say that’s not true… I probably make half as much as you but I just try to be extremely frugal… just saying it’s doable

A lot of westerners, sure. The vast majority of Chinese would disagree since they’re 1-2 generations away from poverty. Depending on the city most grandparents have zero education, parent may have gone to middle school, then current gen has shot for the stars. Chinese government can be unfair, but no one can argue they didn’t make everyone’s lives materially better

Are you calling Chinese police similar to Nazis….? I’ve never had a bad interaction with one and they’re certainly not fascists

Of course on the world stage this varies per country but I agree that a big of savings can get you there by retirement, especially if done early.

In China a common goal is to save 140k USD then invest it and retire by one’s mid 30s living a simple life.

If you max out your ROTH IRA every year until retirement that is possible (for the US). Yes, I believe one can easily save and invest in index funds. Based on compound interest with a return rate of 3-7% one could expect 450,000-1.05 mil after 35 years of working. That’s 583$ post tax dollars a month.

Post kids it’s been more difficult but I even picked up an extra job to make sure I can max out my retirement investments.

For everyone? Absolutely not. It is obtainable though. Even half of that per month would result in similarly good returns. The problem is investment education. Reminds me of my local communist reading group who to my surprise didn’t know anything about investing even though capital is like their whole thing.

Relax. If you max out your ROTH IRA every year until retirement that is possible (for the US).

That’s a totally obtainable goal!
