I have an opportunity to work in Saudi Arabia for 18 months, on a secure base near Mecca. The pay is tax free, living costs are free and I would earn around 80,000 GBP for a basic project control role. My company will fly friends and colleagues to Dubai to visit every few months.
However, my girlfriend of 6 years will leave me if I take it.
The industry is engineering and I would be in a low tier management role.
What would you do?
>>1388841
Seems to me you have bigger problems than your future career. If your girlfriend won't support you, dump her. This stupid "if you go ill leavv you you motherfucker" attitude is ungrateful and if you let force your decision she will probably to do it down the road as well.
Are you aware that working in Saudi is often a career ender? It's a strange place in that you need good qualifications to work there, but the actual work you'll be doing is less than what you're qualified to do.
I'd give Saudi a big, fat pass UNLESS you're needing to save a wad of cash.

Consider it the other way around would you let your gf go work in a foreign country for 18 months?
Idea: Pokestop shop
I was thinking of going downtown and setting up the equivalent of a lemonade stand and calling it the Pokestop Shop. I'd set up next to 2-3 pokestops and keep them constantly lured while selling bottled water and snacks. If business is good I'd start selling shirts, stickers, and maybe bring a couple batteries and charge people for charging their phones.
What do you guys think? What are the legal issues I might run into doing this?
>>1388204
you're a week too late, pokemon go is already dead/dying
>>1388204
Don't think about it just do it. Either it works or doesn't but never sit on an idea too long. This fad might burn out by the time you get around to acting.
>>1388210
I want to make sure that its legal and economically viable.
Where could I legally set up such a marketing stand in my city?
>thinking there will be another crash in the next 10 years

Fuck yeah! We need some high energy MAGA in here before this bitch launches to Alpha Centauri.
Hell yeah!We on our way to the fucking Moon!
So I've got a paid off house worth around ~180k euros and I'm considering selling it and buy around half of it worth of btc.
Rate my plan
There are better things you could do with that capital, like burning it in a barrel
>>1388525
I flushed down 11k around 3 weeks ago, I didn't have a good time. I'm thinking burning it wouldn't give me a good time either
>>1388529
I'll provide my honest opinion then, I don't believe bitcoin is a safe place for your money. I would invest that money into some sort of rental property or even a business, you know, real things.

Why do you torture yourself choosing a side already destined to win
The fact you feel anything says you already failed
You have to care about no one but yourself.

So what you are saying is that I must be cruel to become rich?
I am debating on if I need a car or not /biz/ and just how important is "living".
As of right now, I am incredibly bored. I take the bus to work and back. The trip to work and back is about 2 hours total. If I had a car, it would be 1 hour total, to and back.
I am hesitant to get a car because I only have 8k USD saved up and a decent used car runs like 6k USD. I feel vulnerable having only 2k left and that doesn't even include shit like having to pay for car insurance.
I am also incredibly depressed because having to take the bus everywhere...

I make around $300 per week and still have a car.. public transport is for poorfags and crazy people
If you maintain your second-hand jalopy ride, it will last for a long time
>>1388178
I see.. there are a lot of crazy people on public transport I noticed. Why is that?
Anyway, I am just scared of spending huge chunks of money. These student loans I am paying back.. I pay them back comfortably but I pay more than I need to per month to keep them decreasing. Should I slow down? I typically have to pay maybe 500 dollars a month between all my loans. I pay about 700 total to pay them back faster.

Ride a bike fatass
In roughly 6 weeks I will be launching my first ever business.
I have calculated that I will make a minimum of $17k a year or a maximum of $1.2m a year.
So somewhere between those two numbers is where i'll be looking at.
>is it worth it?
Thats too small of a range, maximum is too close to the minimum...
what kind of business anon?
>>1388150
I named my bike after ivanka
What should my next move be? 26, will make about 60k this year. I have about 20k in savings, no IRA, no stocks, no 401k at my company. I figure I have a good emergency fund, but not enough to invest at this time. I was thinking maybe a CD or some savings bonds, maybe 5k to start? I feel like the market is going to take a big drop by the end of the year so I want to stay out for now.
>>1388122
Open up a MyRA from the treasury department.
Open up a Robinhood and put 100-200 a paycheck into it.
Open a Treasury Direct account and drop 100 on EE series bonds every check.
Other than that you would need to potentially branch out to make any money.
>>1388144
Not against a vanguard index fund but don't they require a 10k minimum? Do I have enough savings to part with 10k?
Open a Roth IRA at Vanguard and put in the maximum amount allowed every year (currently $5500).

Ok you fucking gluttons today we're going to learn how to save some money by attacking one of your fattest areas of spending- food. This is a small collection of what I've learned over the years. I've never had to go to bed hungry, and I'm healthy as fuck. All it takes is a little effort (which may be too much for you) and forethought.
1. Junk Food
Your body needs real food. Not candy, not chips, not soda. Not only does this shit-tier food cost a whole lot more, it actually destroys your insides and makes you feel like garbage. You won't feel satisfied after eating a bag of chips or guzzling a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Instead, eat real food that you've made yourself. No added sugar or lab-created ingredients. Start eating things you've heard of before, and ditch the mystery ingredients.

I spend roughly $300 on food a month. Surely there gas to be a way to cut it down to $100, but I'm a shitty cook.
>get a job in Hollywood
>average pay but i mingle with the actors making 10 million a movie
>ask what they plan on doing with the money
>all of them say they will put it in a bank and live off the interest
i almost popped a blood vessel when they said this
>>1388022
Its probably because you are a loser.
>>1388022
Does it even matter at that point, dude? He could live off 100k a year until he dies from a single film

I do but I don't use excel as I still live with my parents
is 2 monitors a meme?
>>1387912
I'd say in most case no. It's nice to have them even if you're doing nothing more than watching videos on one and playing games/reading something on the other.
Of course if you're daytrading or something then a second monitor becomes much more useful.
>>1387912
i have 2 monitors at work, but would love 3
makes my work much easier, but i like/have to multitask, so i have 13123132145 windows open
>>1387912
I use 3.
