One of the major setbacks of running your own business and working from home is the ease by which one could transmorph into a sloth, slovenly loafing around — sleeping in to all odd hours of the day. There comes a point along the income spectrum where one becomes complacent; therefore heightens the chances of slothing about — especially when one works from home.
The wife is always in need of a good walk through the shopping mall and sometimes work doesn’t seem all that eventful. It’s only after escaping the bubble for a foray into the real world does one see the productivity of others and wonders to oneself ‘what the fuck have I been doing all this time?’
Naturally, there are valid arguments to be made for slovenly loafing, all to do with quality of life issues. Some men enjoy waking up at 4:30am, heading out to the gym like lunatics, then working tirelessly throughout the day — bright and energetic, trying to drum up business. Others like to loaf, wake up around noon to a platter of bacon and eggs, black black coffee, and then saunter about all day — shopping for red wine and maybe visiting organic farms all day.
The latter will enjoy his life more and if his income provides him with enough capital to finance his reckless lifestyle, he might go throughout life happy and completely idiotic. The former will likely die inside of a rancid men’s bathroom at 5:45am, after a solid hour of nutty cardio. His estate will be in order, however, providing his offsprings with enough money to allow them to saunter all day long, shopping for red wine, visiting organic farms.
At 41 years of age, I can comfortably say I’ve done both and prefer a happy middle. This being the day after Christmas, a slow day after a frantic week of panic shopping, I felt like sleeping in — despite it being against my best interests. My alarm went off and at first I snoozed it. When it went off again, I snoozed it once more. After the third time, I shut the damned thing off and woke up around 11am.
I fetched myself a mug of coffee and then picked up a book and then decided to check in on the website to see how everyone was doing. Much to my dismay, the quotes inside Exodus were down, which made me panic for brief moment; but then I remembered the issue and quickly emailed tech support, asking him to remedy it. Not having tech on demand makes fixing things hard. For those who don’t know, Jeremy left the site in June of this year, so tech support is now done by an outside vendor.
Stocks are weak, but my only holding in my quant portfolio is GLD, so I’m good there. In my discretionary trading account, JNUG is outperforming, but everything else is weak. It looks like a dreadful day for stocks. I’m gonna see about trying to fix that soon.

Better yet use Echo (Amazon’s thingy) or Google Home to the fullest.
Lay in bed all day and use your voice to change teeveee channels, watch movies, turn on and off the lights, order food or pizza to be delivered (put a slot in front door and they can just shove it through so you don’t have to talk to anybody), lock and unlock the door, etc.
Be a loaf all of the way. Maybe even get a robot to bring you stuff.
Robot slaves. Nice touch. I have my Echo hooked into my Firestick upstairs, so it does in fact change the channels for me.
So. You updated “the clapper” ? At least with flapper, you get some exercise, no?
Hate autocorrect. Not flapper, should be clapper.
amen..sometimes i enjoy traveling back and forth between asia and the u.s. simply to get my internal clock in sync with the rest of society.
interesting
Don’t work for your money, make your money something something.
Should have held that TEUM position………..
TEUM savage gains. Hit a triple bagger in 2 days
I’ve no idea how people can live a life of sleeping in, bacon and eggs,and pure sloth….usually coincides with marijuana use. Have some god damn self respect for yourself. This is why your wife or girlfriend left you. I have two Young children that will work there asses off whether it be in athletics, academics, or both.
Work smarter, not harder.
That’s very 1950s of you. Got to watch out for that Reefer Madness. You drive a Studebaker too?
Sorry pal but it sounds like a condition, better see a doctor. Get with the program of making money when the opportunity arises!
