So my plan got completely uprooted. I was going to get out and use my disability to max out a Roth every year. IRS says disability is unearned income so I can no longer open a Roth. I just opened a Vanguard brokerage account. What is a good fund to use for retirement? I’m guessing now I’m going to get crushed by taxes. I’ll probably do it this way while I’m in school.
I recently got on adderall and I noticed a weird side effect. I just think I’m the funniest guy in the world apparently. I don’t think I’m any more chatty or I’m too energetic. I do have more energy but it’s pretty much enough to do my regular day to day. Sometimes I get bored, and I’ll sit and think of a joke. I’ll sit there silently for five minutes convince myself the joke is funny or go back and forth between saying it or not because I don’t want to be the annoying jokester guy. 90% percent of the time it seems to go over well. There has now been two separate times where I said a joke and didn’t realize until later it wasn’t appropriate or could be taken inappropriately. I haven’t got in any trouble or scolded. Today I made a joke about zoom call interviewing without pants on. People say even for zoom call interviews you should dress professionally. I thought it was funny in my head because you could hypothetically dress professionally up top but the interviewer would never know on bottom you could be in boxers or pajamas. Later I thought about it again and I cringed at how inappropriate it was even though I had funny and pure intentions behind. I think I’m just going to keep my jokes to myself unless I’m around friends and family for now on.
