"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hi Guys,

I'm getting at the point in life where I want to move out of my parents house. I want to know how much you guys pay for rent and what you get for that amount. I always think about moving out but even with a full time job I can't bring myself to spending close to $650 approx for a months rent in Canada. How do you get ahead in life and save and buy something big, like a house of car?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I moved out a month ago. No regrets about the transition, just a personal justified sense of liberation. It costs $430/mo. 1 bedroom efficiency, all utilities included, has a bathroom a mini kitchen area. No roommates because I actually take up the entire space. I just go to school across the street for classes and to use the internet.

To get ahead in life, you must save via a crafty personal budget. Maybe try going no-frills for a little, see how it pans out. A bigger investment like a house is great, make payments on it, get married later on or never. My older brother bought a new car back in '05, a house in '07, and is getting married late this year. He's got the full-time job and is making payments on the 1st 2 things. The wedding won't be huge, remember play it step by step now, the marginal benefits are > then the marginal costs.

Yes that is my worry if I do move out, I won't be able to save for a house later in life, I don't really understand stock or investing. Currently I'm living at home, working full time taking home $910 every two weeks paying $200 rent every month.

I have been looking at places closer to work but I don't know what the difference between a bachelor apartment and a single bedroom apartment?

How much do you guys spend on food for yourselves?
