    Well to start off: this forum should be fun.
    Discussions are healthy but f--- sometimes I see people getting into heated arguments but also actual fights.... if you do it for fun, that's fine ofc.

    But if you actually care, it is good to take a break.

    Invest money in stocks and shares as young as you possibly can. Even if it's just 10 a week or something like that. But start those habits asap and increase the amount you invest as your salary increases over time.

    Future you will thank you when you're a millionaire before the age of 50.

    I’ve been trying to tone down the arguments as I’m fine but I feel like I have been upsetting people a bit too much

    Good for you man. Just stick with it. Put a small amount in religiously every week/month) no matter how good/bad the stock market is doing. Don't touch it until you're old and grey. And don't buy individual shares, just put it in a tracker fund like the Nasdaq or FTSE100 or the equivalent of wherever you're from. The general rule of thumb is to invest 10% of wage, whatever that may be. That way you'll increase the amount you're putting on over time but still living within your means.

    Compound interest will work much better magic over a longer time.

    Prioritize yourself. It might sound selfish but at the end of the day you gotta go for your dreams. If you had one shot, one opportunity in one moment, Would you capture it or just let it Slip?

    Treat your money with respect. Invest in the stock market at a young age.

    Invest 10% of your monthly earnings and you'll retire a multi millionaire.

    One piece of advice I have is simple: be authentic. You’d think this one is obvious but there’s a lot of fake people out there. Life is much simpler when you don’t have to worry about keeping up facades. Life is so much more freeing when you can just be yourself without worrying what others will think about it and you can live in your true power.

    Hard agree. This takes balls, though. Putting yourself and your actual personality and opinions out there makes you somewhat vulnerable, and that's scary.

    Sometimes also the reality of people is just authentically nothing but obnoxious fuckery and hate to the core. I think there's some of that here, like anywhere with a big population. It often looks like trolling. The biggest assholes seem interested only in throwing their s--- at the walls for attention.

    With a fanbase as large as Eminem's and such a tremendous public presence, there are statistically bound to be serious basket cases present. I mean legitimate, clinically-qualified sociopaths and psychopaths. Online, you never can tell who's sane or not -- sometimes they go under the radar in person too, and here anonymity probably makes them bold because they know most people here are real Eminem fans, so tearing at that admiration makes fans effortless targets.

    The most perversely hostile ones identify themselves spewing their high-volume negativity like a firehose at anything that moves.

    Talk about toxic. No thanks, psychos. I've got enough crazies in my life without taking on the emotional dysfunction of randos online.

    You cannot reason with deep pathology.
