Went to a cabin by a lake which was owned by a teammate's stepfather and it was pretty chill!
Had a good amount of philosophical discussions with one teammate, taught another the basics of floating on your back for the back stroke, and tried paddle boarding.
I will say that paddle boarding isn't really my thing. I tried shrooms for the first time as well, but that just gave me a really mellow buzz and that was it.
Aside from that, my goal is to continue experiencing more of life and trying new things. I believe this maximizes our lives as it changes our perception of time to be a lot slower.
To do this I want to automate as much menial things that take up mental and physical bandwidth. One thing is stock investing. I wanted to setup a monthly buy in with my current cash pile in Robinhood, but ended up setting limit orders instead of setting up the recurring system. Retrospectively this was a mistake as Square stock shot up by 10% today... I'll see how things go tomorrow before setting up the recurring buy in.
My plan is to do 80% in Apple and Amazon, and 20% in riskier plays like Tesla, Lemonade, and Square. This way I can feel comfortable with my money in large cap tech companies that I don't see going away anytime soon. I'm not too keen on investing in S&P 500 because a lot of companies in the list are companies I don't really care about.
Aside from that, I spoke to a potential mortgage lender from Fairway about getting preapproved for a loan. He mentioned that he was able to do a jumbo loan with loans above 750k at a rate of 3.25%, which is pretty good. I'm hoping to buy something in SF so that I can be in a place where I feel I can be happy. I have a good amount of friends there, and family of course. I also want to be near the Giants ballpark since I'm a big fan of baseball. Before doing so, I want to experience what it's like to work from New York. Maybe I can do a week of work from New York if my boss lets me. I hear it's pretty easy for guys to get girls there and I wanna see for myself. Maybe I'll end up moving there instead? Who knows, let's explore this country a bit!
After this covid ordeal and Maria, I've taken upon a new stance in life. To make my own happiness my priority. I don't really care about dating, marriage, or starting a family anymore.
