Um, I would invest in bitcoin when it was still nerd shit.
More seriously, I would tell myself that I should set my career goals based on the assumption that greater success comes with more of what you want, rather than assuming that greater success was a tradeoff for more misery.
Hot take: this move was completely predictable and almost no one cares. As Sony said in their press statement - basically no one buys physical copies of games anymore. Even if some would prefer a physical copy, they tend to want to get the game immediately, without having to leave the house, more. Those who are completely committed to buying physical media are an extreme minority, and by sunsetting support for it, Sony saves a lot of money. Most gamers, if they hear this news at all, will probably think "well, that makes sense - I haven't bought a physical game in years." It's like saying your favorite taco shop is nazis because they stopped making your favorite fish and nutella taco that no one else ordered.
Also, the hero getting injured, then goes to the hospital, recovers, and goes right back to his super cool action hero activities. Instead, they would at have a permanent limp or funky shoulder for the rest of their lives at the very least.
I mean, as a general rule, you learn better in low pressure, reactive scenarios. High pressure scenarios where you must make descisions tend to be bad for learning intuitive skills. I wouldnt be surprised if mostly following is the best way to improve at dancing.
Anyway, to your point - as a guy, my desire to engage with partner dancing of any sort as a hobby would be driven by a desire to have fun and meet hot girls to sleep with. Competitive dancing might be kind of fun to watch sometime, but I simply don't have any interest in competing myself. If I can dance well enough to have a good time and flirt with hot girls, my goal is accomplished and I'm not going to put huge amounts of effort into improving. I have rocks to climb and a motorcycle to fix instead.
As a guy - I feel like it would be presumptuous to offer to help someone simply because they gave me a compliment. They would need to express a desire to be helped for me to do that.
Iirc, keeping or losing your hair as a guy has to do with DHT receptors in your hair follicles. T doesn't make your hair fall out, but DHT does, and your body produces more DHT as you get older (hence why finastride works as a hair loss inhibitor - it blocks DHT from the receptors in your hair). But only the hair on the top of your head is sensitive to this, with sensitivity higher in some places than others. Hence, some guys bald on the crown first, while some have a receding hairline first, and some never bald at all.
Another factor is probably cultural. These countries simply don't have rhe obsession with football during childhood that other nations have. I might be misinformed, but I've not gotten the impression that every Chinese child, no matter how poor, spends all their time outside playing football. But that is the impression I have of, say, Brazil.
I don't think the positive differences would be as dramatic as some here are proposing.
It would immeditately benefit a lot of people with existing large medical bills or chronic health conditions. But this probably wouldn't be an immeditately noticeable economic boon - instead, it would take the form of these people unburying themselves from debt and building up savings.
Over the long term, I would expect more small businesses, more people starting families, and more people choosing to retire earlier. But I think it would probably take a decade or more for this change to really be felt by those not directly impacted.
In the short term, there would be a massive economic restructuring as the entire health insurance industry collapsed overnight. Literally millions of people would be out of work. In the long term, this would be a good thing - but short term, it would be a very big problem.
Max out your 401k and IRA as soon as possible each year. These accounts are tax advantaged, and time in the market is the most important thing. They are your most solid investment vehicles. Do this with your paycheck as soon as your emergency fund and monthly expenses are accounted for, and before you put money into a home fund or non-tax-advantaged index fund.
Then, plow money into index funds.
Then, build up your home fund.
The balance of these two depends on how soon you plan to buy a home. I would say that if you are planning on less than 5 years, your hysa account is a good idea. But if it is 5+ years, then I would slowly build up an hysa while largely expecting to withdrawl money from my index funds to pay for the home when the time came, since, again, time in the market.
It sounds like you are pursuing FI. So I would do some reading into that. At the very least, understand the 4% rule.
And finally, I would say, congrats! You got a good job - now make sure you still enjoy your life while you work it instead of just grinding yourself into the ground. Take time off, make new friends, try new things, and have adventures. Life is made for living - work a little longer in exchange for living a little more right now!
I have never been cheated on, or cheated on anyone, as I'm enm. I give my partners full rein to bang whoever they want, and only continue seeing them if they do the same for me.
