A small advice - green314 - 10-25-2021

A small advice for those in the SE scene, maybe for everyone.
Spoiler:
Money is not everything.
The time you’re spending SEing is not reimbursable, don’t throw away your years of youth, enjoy them. Spend money is not always synonyms of failure, waste is. If you feel cool at SEing a €50 item passing 3 hours of your time doing it’s not a win, it’s a loss. Period. Spending €200 for a night with loyal friends is 100 times better.

Make new friends outside this scene.
In almost 1 year in the scene I have known hundreds of different people, majority of them turned out to be deceptive and greedy, this scene is all about money, not friendship, most of them see you as an asset, not a friend, so do not consider them as a friend because you will be disappointed and it would alter your conception of what a “friend” is. One who finds a faithful friend finds a treasure.

No judgement, but if you're greedy and deceptive it's likely you'll be dining with others of similar character. Not to say you couldn't do business or work with those people, but I'd recommend making friends on the basis of actual interests.

Quote:don’t throw away your years of youth
It also applies to those aged 30+ years, many of whom are well Into their 50s and 60s.

That is true, even going on party with only 20€ is way better than a 50/100€ refund, i mean better to keep ur real friendships then get money, like time people isn't refundable.
