Oooh the so called "mountain scale" armor!
Its a super fun pattern but I never wanted to get too deep into it as its WILDLY labor intensive.

Since starting Adderall I have:
- less than 2% credit card use
- no outstanding debts loans
- a portfolio worth over 200k
That's what 5 years of therapy and drugs did for me. It turned my life around and gave me executive function I never had, and a future for my family.

-Hold down a job for multiple years (i couldn't before)
-Manage and Enhance my relationships instead of walking away
- Take control of my personal finance. Pre ADHD meds I was deeply in debt, would indulge in "retail therapy" and was carrying thousands of dollars of CC debt month to month. -C

Nuke the account. Worked a peach for me.
Side effect - I also stopped getting about 70% of the 'WE HAVE A JOB OFFER' emails from people and companies I'd never signed up for or contacted.

Natural Side Effect - Middle career people are dipping as they can (and do) get more money elsewhere. I have seen more take home pay increases in the past 5 years than I did in the prior 15 years at other jobs.
Wild time to be a GenX and not feel totally screwed, at least financially.

As already I've watch so many seniors retire in the last 2 years and they all say the same things "yea I've had enough of this place". Honestly - the scary things to me - this is the more humane workplace I've ever had in 25 years of IT support.
If MGMT said '5 days a week' they'd just cash out.

One of the more fascinating anecdotal points of returning to the office was that nobody wanted to. Mgmt did. Then they ran the numbers and realized...40% of the company could retire tomorrow. Thus we maintain the hybrid work schedule...at least until enough blood has been replaced.
