The Unleveraged Life

2024-02-22

I don't have enough money to repair my bike without massively dipping into my savings - 32% of it would be gone.

Fuck this life.

I may actually quit MTB.

So expensive

And to get this money back, I have to work 70h weeks for 2 weeks at least more likely 4.

Time to fucking grind again bois.

Exchange hours of my life for this thing called money so I can fix my bike.

This life is shit.

I need the leveraged life.

The athlete/artist/intrinsic lover of MTB is being beaten out of me.

The realities of sustaining myself are coming to me,

and just like Anthony Vicinio did, I am quitting athletics slowly to pursue this thing called money, because I cannot bear to go all my life with this sword hanging on my neck.

I will be a slave to it for a decade, and then its master for the rest of my life.

The interesting thing is 26d an hour, which is below the median wage, roughly 25 dollars an hour, which is the American minimum wage is fucking considered good money by other people here.

One dude literally said that 13 pounds, more than minimum wage, that’s good.

This shit is fucked.

90% of men don’t even know they are in a race.

Mumbai is fucking eye opening

Thank fuck I lived in Mira Road,

I know what wealth it.

And I will not stop until money is no longer an object.

This is life of slavery, pf fear, I will not live it any longer.

Abhi grind in NZ

save enough to last 2 to 4 years in Mumbai suburbs and then business.

 Fucking send it. Gotta conquer this thing.

Otherwise my whole life I will have to live this. This is unacceptable.

Thank fuck for JBCN, I was exposed to people earlier on who thought big.

Imagine thinking you earn good money because it is above minimum wage.

I am grateful for the internet. It has made me. It will continue to make me.

Siddha, vivek, apne bhau, apun kill karne wale hai

Apna time aayega

kyunki apun time apun laayega

out of sheer fucking will.
