420 is good... starting now....
It's all super hero movies....
I'm not sure if our phones have given us shorter attention spans, or movies just suck now, but I'm in the same boat.

No HOA and thank God for that. I'd never buy a place that I had to sign an HOA agreement to live at. As if I need more authoritative assholes in my life.

Home ownership really sucks. I hate the maintenance and the lawn work etc. Neither one of us particularly enjoy owning, so we're going to go back to renting.
The final nail in the coffin was when I showed my wife what the average 20 year return would look like if we put 100% of the profits in the s&p 500. That alone would beat the housing market without even considering the amount of maintenance we would be paying annually.
My wife is orange pilled to some degree, but she's not as all in as I am. We sat down and went over the expected returns over 20 years from S&P and figured out a minimum "safety net" for her risk tolerance, and the rest will go into bitcoin.
My wife literally gets her first paycheck this week, thanks for asking. It's definitely a breath of relief.
Getting a node up and running shouldn't be too bad for you, sounds like your right on track for 2025.

That and alcohol related deaths. Nobody drinks like Wisconsin.

It would be nice to be able to officially declare war on them. And good god, please take Gary too.
I'm originally from Racine, and let me tell you, that place is ghetto, and it's only gotten worse over the years. I've spent plenty of time in the Kenosha area as well. I had friends down there growing up. I have zero nostalgia for any of it.
Thank God I got out of there and live in a nice quiet area with low crime and happy people.

I'd happily give Kenosha to Illinois in return for the fibs staying on their side of the border. Racine is a shit hole too, they can have both.

North Chicago?!?!?!? Heresy!!!!!
Yea, the ren fair is pretty awesome. It's not too far from me.
That's super far north. I live in south east Wisconsin next to the lake. Two completely different types of winter.

I hope you've gotten past all of those downs bud. Good people deserve good things.
