Back under the parents roof

Not at all. We all blaze our own trail. I wanted to let youngsters know that moving home and saving up can be a way to get ahead. Noone is clearly going to do the same thing as me (lol maybe if I shared my experiences on the gambling forums I read some of them might wish to) there are lots of ways to make money though it is america and those with an idea and the balls to act on it and turn 1 dollar into 2 will always be successful.

That said forum is full of socialists. Entrepreneurship is clearly frowned upon and anyone who embraces capitalism and free markets is going to get trolled hard. Oh well.
 
You ski 40 days a year, you're a fucking weekend warrior. I used to live at the mountain. I've put up over 40 days consecutively before. I was averaging 90+ days for multiple seasons while working full time at the mountain and going to school when I wasn't at the mountain. And you can only put up 40 with no job? How do you associate any of the jobs you listed with public health? I work M&A in healthcare. I don't have the physical stamina to be a rough neck or fisherman or the tobacco/amphetamine addiction.

I've stayed at all those casinos, they're all shit. Free drinks at some janky casino? Awesome! Enjoy plugging the South Lake and Reno girls, fucking trashy horse face swamp donkeys.

Denver/SLC suck to live in, I don't see the point to living there, even if you do have a good job. Plus dealing with 70 every weekend with the rest of the Front Range gapeshow would make me put a bullet in my head.

Look dude, there comes a point where working at the shop making $15/hour and drinking you're self retarded makes you feel dumber. Yes, you're skiing 6-7 days a week but life isn't that fulfilling if you aren't using your intellectual capacity and actually doing something beneficial to society. You're selling tickets for a profit, you're a net negative to society. But you're able to rationalize it because you're 'saving them money' over other scalping services.

 
I save people money FROM THE TEAM. Not other scalpers. I buy enough that I can sell for lower than TM/the box office and still make money. People find me who want the cheapest way into good/decent seats. Out of 100 people I meet for tickets 98/99 are getting a better deal than they could possibly find elsewhre I provide enough of a service.

I threw 40 out there because I don't know how long I'll be on the road for. And I don't really like skiing if there isn't powder. Could be 50 or 60. WHo is counting.

Yeah, well you made my point that Tahoe is the fucking shit in agreeing SLC and Denver are no better live in. Most of these casinos hang with the ones in Vegas Reno is jumpoff. Not to mention the other 49 states sports betting is illegal.

Yes Harrahs and Mont Blue aren't great thats why I rock the horizon. And they are ALL fucking cheap. I have also stayed at nearly every casino in Vegas. My rooms are basically the same as something like NY/NY or Paris and close enough to Wynn/Cosmo. THe Peppermill has a better outdoor pool in the winter than anywhere in Vegas. Atlantis has best rooms. Legacy and Eldorado are both solid downtown is chill. All have the nice casino beds just draw the shades, toss up the do not disturb, and you can sleep for 11 hours on them.

Priceline/Hotwire is a great thing I get the 4.5 star rooms whenever I am in a real city. Sadly I am usually in midsized cities that don't have hotels like the W most of the time so no use for that. I immediately check out of any shitholes. I bring my tv and PS3 up to the room its great I got all the comforts of home. Go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year. Only sit in good seats when I go to Bs and Cs games in the spring. In my old life I'd barely be able to go to one playoff game a year I was so fucking poor. I can go home when I want don't cost shit (it costs my mom 80 bucks to fly me round trip across country because she pays for all her shit on an AA credit card and has to use the miles some way.)

Just stop hating man, not everyone on this forum can be as cool as you and earn a quarter mil and live in Nyc/Chicago (don't know where else you'd live if you talk that shit about everywhere else since Denver and SLC are solid cities) and bang super models.

 
Fuck Vegas. It's trash city. There's way hotter girls at the divey bars here than at fucking XS on top nights. Have fun seeing surgically put together girls caked with makeup and asians dancing around in vests.

I don't earn a quarter mil a year or live in NYC/Chicago, but I would take my current situation over earning 250k in one of those cities. I live a reasonable lifestyle, but still get to do some cool shit. With zero connections I got into one of the best business schools in the world and turned that down because I would have to move away from the ocean and give up my current lifestyle. If money is the key driver behind your decisions and life choices then you're going to be pretty unhappy/feeling empty later on.

And fuck Reno. Nothing good has ever come out of NV.
 
i dont mind coming home. currently im in college so its nice to get some real food and take a break from studying. only issues are that the house is always too cold and i get shafted with curfew stuff.
 
It's just so fucking dull. This issue plagues my mother's side of the family. They just makes your life seem so trivial. Filing away your months and months of your life into there memory as if it were a textbook. My dad's side of the family are Irish* and they can show so much more compassion and can carry on a conversation that doesn't involve compensating for there own issues. My Mom's side of the family are so damn passive. They avoid conflict as if it were the plague itself. It takes all the energy out of me trying to hold a conversation.

This Christmas will be exceptionally dull for me. This will be the first time I've seen a lot of my Mother's family in a years time. It's been one long triumphant year for me, but its just gonna be dates and events for the family. /endrant

*Irish (Celts specifically) are notorious for not showing emotion.
 
i fucking hate being back home. first off, its so fucking boring here its unbelievable. literally, there is nothing to do that can occupy me for more than a couple of hours. secondly, my mom tries to guilt me into doing things that i have no interest or motivation to do, and it's even worse that she's so goddamn passive about it. if you want me to do something, fucking tell me to do it and i will--i'm not 10 anymore, i've been living on my own for almost four years now i can handle my shit. thirdly, i'm glad that you ask how things are going in my life, but i honestly think you couldn't care less, so it would be nice if you either showed some interest or didn't ask at all. oh and this whole "our family is perfect, your new stepdad is great" facade is really fucking with me, and i don't like it. stop making me feel guilty, i don't owe you anymore than i've given you.

my dad's house is better, but it's still so boring it makes me want to take up shooting meth as a hobby.

i would like to leave now, but i can't, so i'm just gonna fap it out. holy rant batman.
 
I like it, moved back after first semester of college to go to CC for 2 years, 2 years ago. Not bad considering I live in the poolhouse in the backyard that has a spiral staircase, a fireplace, and a 40inch tv. Especially nice in the summer when I walk out the door and take 2 steps and go for a quick swim before work. /bragging
 
Damn dude sounds like you are def putting in work. Gotta remember obama/next presidents bout to take half that 400k once you start making it haha
 
You have to remember with healthcare costs significantly outpacing GDP that your reimbursement is going to be half of that in 10-20 years. Good luck pulling >250K in 2012 USD.
 
haha my parents have always been cool, but last night first night back on break wenton a bender with my boys drinkin till 9am and missed a doc apointment, parents are no longer ok with my devient ways ahaha
 
As someone studying healthcare policy, this makes absolutely no sense. If anything, rising healthcare costs result in slightly higher reimbursement rates.
 
I live in Rhode Island. It is extremely boring deprived of mountains. clayton vila was from Block Island, Rhode Island. All I do is go on newschoolers, poop and drive my grandma around, when I leave i am moving far away.
 
Because you took a 100 level class? As someone that works with payer organizations. Rising costs are going to push more payers to DRG and less fee for service/overall reimbursement. Just because reimbursement goes up doesn't mean that it is going up at the same rate as the costs to to physician. Physicians are going to get squeezed on this the future.

I love everything about being home from college. Except

1. Having to tell my rents what i am doing

2. Explaining to my rents why i am doing that

3. "No mom I'm not an alcoholic, I'm 21, it's Christmas, I can have a glass of scotch at 10am if i want"

4. "Yes dad i will use a condom tonight."

5. Being extra quiet when using that condom to make love to my girlfriend

 
Went home for a night to see my grandparents and parents. I think they've replaced me with guitars, basses and lots of audio equipment. My parents are in a band.
