    My hair turns copper-gold in the summertime when I’m out in the sun for a few days in a row.

        Facilities as in toilets?

        Nvm… That’s just what my dad says when he goes to the loo…

        Yes we have good public facilities, at least where I live. But on the other hand, I do live in one of the richest countries in the world, so would expect it to be good too.

    I have excellent time sense. I could set a 15min timer on the kitchen microwave, then go into another room. Often I’ll get up and walk into the kitchen just as the timer beeps. Useful, but hard to monetise. Oh, and white privilege.

    When I was in grade school we had a self-directed math program called Individually Prescribed Instruction or IPI. In the program you would take a pre-test and based on the results do a set of exercises. Then you took a post-test to close out that section. What I realized is that since the exercises are self directed we had unsupervised access to the exercises and the solutions. When given the pre-tests I would look up examples in the exercises with the solutions to figure out how to do the questions. I then proceeded to speed run the whole IPI curriculum. This gave me a leg up in math. I proceeded to get a 100% on my Algebra regents and just generally crush it in math. Ended up getting a uni degree in math and physics. This opened many doors for me later in life.

    I was lucky to have money to invest at the right time when the markets crashed in 2008 and 2020, when stocks could be had at a 90% discount. As a result I was able to pay off my student loans and put a down payment on my residence with the profits, just by being willing to wait a few years for the market to recover.

    I have relatively high intelligence, have a job that allows me to work at my own pace and combine it with study and other activities, I have good friends and a supportive, caring, active and housewifely partner, my mother is alive and well.

    Generally, a good set for a fulfilling life :)
