LPT - quit your office job and get a job in construction - you get to actually work when you're "working outside" and you can enjoy using your computer for entertainment only... inside where they belong.

Did this but now I can no longer afford a computer in 2026. Thanks Sam Altman.

True, but that's a problem hitting everyone regardless of job. I've been trying to focus on upgrading the parts of my 2020 rig that are still affordable, before those also get hit by the AI bubble. Buy HDDs now, as I think they're next!

Construction can pay well, but it can be brutal on your body if you do it for long

I've only been doing it for twenty years, but I started in my thirties. I stretch in the morning and work smart not hard, so for me it's more like getting paid to exercise. YMMV.
