    Jailbroke iPhones for $20 a pop in highschool. Blew it all on fireworks.

    Flipped broken consoles before the market got too saturated to profit. Blew it all on video games.

    Currently breeding fish. Blowing it all on more fish.

    I’m bad at saving money.

      Sounds like a good life to be honest. I’m probably just romanticizing the days I was a little too young to remember, but I wish I were one of those self-taught programmers, hackers, tinkerers. Everything’s opaque and user-friendly and/or optimized to the point of illegibility now.

        You still can fix your fridge, stove, washing machine when it breaks down with a web search and some patience !

        But cars seems to be quite out of reach for anything except the most simple.

          Personally I have not had my own appliances like those, but I’ll keep that in mind for when I get my own place and my own appliances to fix :)
