birthday was yesterday. did a life audit:
- no close friends outside of work
- havent been on a date in 2 years
- cant remember the last time i did something outdoors
- my entire personality is my job
- making 280k and saving 60% of it for a future i cant even picture
what the fuck am i doing

this is the engineer pipeline and you can escape it. join a climbing gym. seriously. its physical, social, and forces you outside. every engineer i know who climbs is a different person because of it

you can picture the future. its 45 years old with 2M in the bank and absolutely nobody to share it with. i know because im 38 and thats exactly where im heading

saving 60% is insane. cut that to 30% and spend the other 30% on LIVING. travel, hobbies, social activities. whats the point of retiring early if you have no life to retire INTO

therapy. not as a joke. you need someone to help you figure out what you actually want because right now youre on autopilot optimizing for a metric (net worth) that wont make you happy

i was exactly here at 30. now im 33 and married with a dog and a social life. what changed: i forced myself to do one social thing per week minimum. a meetup, a class, a bar, anything. it compounds just like interest
