14 High Net Worth Individuals Reveal Their Financial Home Runs
1. This is probably a strange answer, but joining the military.
I was able to mature and save up a small nest egg, get access to the Post 9/11 GI bill, and some combat wounds were 100% worth it for the disability check and healthcare lol
That let me go to to college and a great law school with no debt, and led me to where I am today.
Plus, I wouldn’t trade the experiences for anything. Home run.

The Unspoken Reality of Life with a Micropenis
I’m 31 years old, and I have what’s medically defined as a severe micropenis. Even when I’m fully erect, it’s just over an inch—barely enough to even qualify for the term. This isn’t something I developed later or some result of lifestyle or health. It’s how I was born—a random quirk in the way my body responded to hormones in the womb. I’m otherwise completely healthy, normal XY chromosomes, and normal testosterone. It’s what doctors call “isolated,” because I don’t have any other syndrome or intersex condition attached.

“The Market Just Hit a Record High!” Why That Headline Shouldn’t Stop You from Investing
If you’re even vaguely interested in money, you’ve seen the headlines:
“DOW CLOSES AT ALL-TIME HIGH!”
“S&P 500 HITS ANOTHER RECORD!”
“NASDAQ SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS!”
They’re designed to grab your attention—and, if you’re like most people, to make you wonder if now is the worst possible time to invest. “Wait, isn’t it dangerous to buy at the top? What if it all comes crashing down tomorrow?”

“My Screen Time is 12+ hours per day”
I (25 M) have a bad phone addiction. I spend 12+ hours daily on my phone, mostly watching porn & doom scrolling Reddit/TikTok.
I tried using my iPhone’s Screen Time feature to “limit adult content” and set “app time limits”, but I always end up disabling the restrictions. I even had a friend set a secret passcode, but I used the “Forgot Passcode” option to reset it to bypass the restrictions.
I also tried using a few adult content blocker apps, but they are too easy to uninstall.
How can I reduce my screen time and set hard limits that I can’t easily turn off? Thanks
The Art of Fitting In: What It’s Like to Be a Functional Sociopath
If you want to know what it’s like to live as a sociopath—someone with Antisocial Personality Disorder—the first thing you have to understand is that life isn’t a TV drama or some true crime podcast. It’s not sinister. It’s not thrilling. Mostly, it’s flat. Indifferent. I’m forty years old. I have a job, a marriage, a mortgage, routines—just like anyone else. The main difference is that for as long as I can remember, the part of me that feels for other people just doesn’t seem to exist.

Why Letting Your Child Struggle Is One of the Greatest Gifts You Can Give
There’s a moment that every parent knows well: your child’s face crumples, frustration rises, maybe even tears start to fall. Every fiber in your body wants to fix it. To smooth the way. To reach in and solve the problem—sometimes before your child even knows there is a problem.
But what if I told you that the hard moments—those messy, imperfect, not-yet-solved ones—are exactly where your child needs to be? What if struggle isn’t something to avoid, but something to gently, lovingly allow?
