Day eight and nine were completed just fine. I did notice that during the first set, normal bench 225 at 6 reps, I was having some challenge completing the 5th and 6th rep. I completed them just fine but it didn't feel as easy as I wanted it to be.
Tomorrow, I'm starting week 4, and the first set is normal bench 245 at 4 reps. I've done it before, I just hope I can get it tomorrow.
In the last couple of days, I've been seeing advertisements for different tax preparations companies such as H&R Block, Liberty Tax Service, and Jackson Hewitt. When I see these advertisements, I get reminded of some key economic indicators such as our national debt. As it stands today, the national debt is over $18 trillion. This wouldn't be a problem if we had a gross domestic product that was much greater than our debt but as it stands today, our gross domestic product is only more than $17 trillion dollars.
Our national debt keeps going up because, each year, we keep on running budget deficits. Each year, our government keeps spending more money than it takes in tax revenue.
For the government to start paying off the national debt, it has to stop running budget deficits each year. Unfortunately, there are only two ways to do this. Either cut government spending or increase taxes. Neither one of these is popular and there are people on both sides fighting tooth and nail to prevent one or the other from happening.
If the national debt keeps increasing, more and more money needs to be created to keep our economy from falling to pieces. With more and more money being created, this indirectly leads to an increase of prices for most everything.
An increase of prices makes it more difficult more the average American to sustain a certain quality of life. The difficult economic conditions of the past 10 years is one of the factors that have been putting pressure on couples getting married and/or staying married. Extra pressure to marriage has been leading to a decrease in the number of married couples in this nation.
With fewer couples being married, less production occurs in the economy and the government has less tax revenue to take in.
It is for these reasons I believe that that government may start providing incentives to get more people married. And by provide incentives, I mean implement punishments for men being single and not getting married.
In the future, the government may increase the tax rate for men who file tax returns as single. I look to Japan, which has significant problems with an again population. Ideas of bachelor taxes float around in Japan.
This is how the government will try to deter men going their own way. A near invisible and gradual increase to tax brackets for single individuals. This will not significantly push men into marriage. It is just a way for the government to suck more of our blood. Our life. And it is only the first step the government will take.
It is for this reason that I believe, in the next 10 years, there will be more teenagers and single men in their 20's adopting the streamlined life approach.

Day seven results
Week 3 of the 12 week program is very similar to week one. The biggest changes occur in the incline bench press. The routine is as follows.
Bench press: 225 at 6 reps. 205 at 5 reps. 185 at 5 reps.
Incline bench press: 155 at 5 reps. 145 at 6 reps. 135 at 5 reps.
Bar dips: 11 reps. 5 reps.
Dumbbell Flyes: 50 at 8 reps. 40 at 8 reps. 30 at 10 reps.
225 lbs is the heavies weight I've lifted since week one so as soon as I lifted it, I felt this shock of extra weight. It is quite surprising, I was quite sure if I was able to make all 6 reps but I just barely got all of them. Week 3 adds one extra rep to 225 lbs and 205 lbs.
The biggest change is on the incline bench press sets. Week one had incline 135 at 9 reps and 115 at 8 reps. Week 3 gives you 3 sets and the first two are heavier weight however you do less reps.
I'm excited for week four because 245 becomes a challenge and I am really excited for week six. Week six starts you out doing 265 at 3 reps on the bench. 265 is my one rep max, so if I can make 3 reps, I'll know this program is working.

How to save $1000 over the course of a year.
When it comes to saving money, there is only really 3 ways to do it.
1. Don't but something.
2. Buy less of something.
3. Find a cheaper substitute.
$1000 seems like a lot of money up front but stretched over the course of a year, it is only $83.33 per month.
Get a cheaper phone.
It is hard to find the statistic for the average American cell phone bill. Some people pay over $100 a month for phone bills. I've done a little searching and found an average of $71 monthly according to one survey. Over the course of a year, the total bill comes out to be $852.
If you are willing to strip away all the non phone features of a phone, a prepaid phone can run $50 or less. Personally, I use a prepaid phone and I barely talk to people. I bought a tracfone that came with the triple minutes for life feature. My phone only costs me about $8 per month. Granted, I can't surf the net, play with applications, watch movies, or play Angry Birds with my phone.
Today, a prepaid phone with the triple minutes feature can be bought for $65 and you can get 1200 minutes (after the triple minutes) for $100. By substituting the $852 annual bill for a prepaid phone and 1200 minutes, you can save $687 a year.
Get comfortable shaving your head.
Again, it is difficult to find the solid statistics for how many haircuts a man gets per year. I've found the number of 9 times a year. I think myself, I would only get it cut 4 to 5 times per year though. It is reasonable to spend $28 on a haircut depending on where you go. This brings the total cost to $252 per year. However, if you are comfortable just having a shaved or buzzed haircut, it is easy to just pick up a hair clipper for $35. This can save a man $217 a year if he gets a lot of haircuts or in my case $65 a year as I only spend about $20 a haircut at the place I go.
These are two instances of finding cheaper substitutes.
Cut back on drinks at the bar and dining out.
Each time a man goes to the bar, it is reasonable to spend about thirty dollars. That includes just a few drinks and a tip. By not going to the bar 5 times, you save $150 (just as long as you don't waste it on something else). The same can be said for dining out at $20 a meal. By not dining out 5 times, you save $100. Of course, you will have to eat something. Either cook at home or get cheap fast food (value menu items).

Day six results and an a review of Cowboy Bebop
I just finished the last day of week 2. Week 2 was still very easy. At this point, I kind of wonder if I should have skipped a few weeks in this program. I haven't experienced anything too difficult or challenging. None of the weights on the reps comes close to my limit until at least week 4.
On week four the first exercise is to bench press 245 at 4 reps. I can see where the challenge starts in week six where the first exercise is to bench press 265 at 3 reps. Currently 265 to 270 is my one rep max. I won't deviate from the program but I am looking quite forward to week 6.
Last week, I was walking through Wal-Mart in the electronics department and I found a gold nugget. I saw the complete Cowboy Bebop series on sale for $30. Immediately, I picked it up without a second thought and that means a lot because I am not one prone to impulse spending. This wasn't even really an impulse spend. I've been wanting the box set for a few years but the cheapest price I could find was $70 or $80. The last time I spent money on myself for something other than food was probably several months ago.
Cowboy Bebop is just amazing. I've been a fan of it ever since I saw it for the first time on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in 2002 or 2003. It is only 26 episodes long so it doesn't drag out and it has almost no filler. But since I'm a man that really loves stories, it is the narrative that sells the series for me.
The anime takes place in the future where men have figured out space travel with the use of hyperspace gates. These gates were constructed with the help of two crime syndicates and there was some disaster that happened during construction if I can remember correctly. I'm in the process of re watching the series.
This is the plot but the best part of the narrative is that this isn't really explained from the beginning. The plot of the past and history is told by anecdotes and some flashbacks. The anime isn't slowed down by this sort of exposition. From episode one, all you really know is that there are two bounty hunters that travel through space trying to earn money.
What gives Cowboy Bebop more depth is a sense of cohesion. All four members of the Bebop have a back story that ties back into the construction of the space gates and the disaster that happened during construction. Spike was in a high position in one of the crime syndicates. Jet was a former police that was hunting down the members of the syndicate. Faye was knocked into a coma for a hundred of years as a result of the exploding space gate. And Edward was ...... Ah jeeze. I forgot Ed's backstory. She is just kind of a girl that does what ever.
Even the bounties have a small back story to them and each one usually ties back to the syndicate or the space gates. Each bounty is given at least a few minutes to develop them. When I thought about it, the way the bounties are developed kind of feels like the numerous NPC's in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Even though you see them for a short amount of time, you get a moment to see deep moving moments in their lives.
The last thing I'll mention about Cowboy Bebop is the humor scattered throughout. The episode that sticks out most in mind is when Spike runs across another bounty hunter that is dressed like a cowboy complete with cowboy outfit and a horse. And the horse goes everywhere. I'm pretty sure I remember a scene where an elevator dings and this cowboy walks out of the elevator with the horse.
During this whole episode, the cowboy causes so much grief and frustration for Spike that most of the episode shows Spike and the cowboy fighting each other instead of actually trying to hunt the bounty. And the bounty sees this and gets mad because he really wants the attention for blowing up buildings. In the end the cowboy gives up to Spike and gives up the fight. The cowboy was some rich kid that played pretend for a while and got bored being a cowboy. But the funniest part of the episode is at the very end when you just see the same guy riding on his horse right next to the train dressed in a samurai getup.
On week four the first exercise is to bench press 245 at 4 reps. I can see where the challenge starts in week six where the first exercise is to bench press 265 at 3 reps. Currently 265 to 270 is my one rep max. I won't deviate from the program but I am looking quite forward to week 6.

Day five results and living vicariously
I just finished day 5 of the program after taking an extra rest day. Bench press went very easy and the dips were much easier today then three days ago.
Today, I'd like to talk about living vicariously. Lately, I've come to find I've been doing a lot of it recently. Monday through Friday, I've been spending in the office more than 12 hours. I only have a few hours to myself at home before falling asleep. Thankfully, while I work, I have the option to listen to some podcasts.
I listen to a lot of mgtow videos because every day, I'm just waiting to be free. Waiting for the day that I accumulate enough resources that I can either quit working full time or switch it over to part time work. But there is another reason I like listening to mgtow channels.
Some of my favorite videos, I get to hear about the stories and anecdotes of the lives of the video maker. One video that I keep coming back to is Monogamy is NOT for everyone by Ravishing Rick Rude.
In this video, Ravishing Rick Rude shares his experiences of how relationships can just fail even without the fault of either party. Sometimes, the circumstances just keep people apart.
With all the time I spend in the office, I don't really get the chance to talk to a lot of people other than my colleagues. I was happy to listen to Rick's video.
I remembered the time I was trying to make something happen with this a girl I knew a few years back. Oh sure, things were going great for a few months, then everything just kind of fell apart. We don't really see each other or talk to each other anymore and this is how it has to be. I don't feel any resentment or hatred to her or anything. We just couldn't work out together.
It has been almost a year since I last saw her. But enough about that.
I guess it is all just part of the human experience.
Life can be kind of lonely when you go your own way, but in these cases, you just have to keep in mind your own goals. Whatever those goals are. Work hard, accumulate those resources, then one day buy your freedom.

Day four results and net worth statements
Today begins week 2 of the 12 week program. The order of the first two exercises switches up. You start of with the incline bench press then switch over to the regular bench.
Week 2 includes the following:
Incline Bench: 175 at 7 reps. 165 at 6 reps. 155 at 6 reps.
Bench Press: 195 at 6 reps. 185 at 6 reps. 155 at 6 reps.
Bar Dips: 11 reps. 6 reps.
Dumbbell Flyes. 60 at 4 reps. 45 at 6 reps. 30 at 10 reps.
I found this routine off of bodybuilding.com.
Week 2 is still pretty easy since I'm used to benching 225 and up. Compared to the last week, I'm adding one more set to the bench press. On week one, I was doing 5 sets on bench press, now it is six. Because of the increased sets, I was feeling tired after the bench press and I was really feeling some pain while doing the bar dips. I'm thinking it will be easier on Tuesday.
Today, I'd like to talk about how important it is for everyone to create a net worth statement and make sure to update it on a regular basis. A net worth statement is just a document that lists out your total assets as well as your debts. At the bottom of the statement, your debts are subtracted from your assets and what is left is your net worth.
I update my sheet in excel and I like to start out with the assets. There, I have all my bank accounts listed. In this section, I like to just put the liquid assets because I like to calculate a liquid net worth as well. Here you could put down your stocks, bonds, cd's, and other things that can be easily turned to cash.
Right under it, I'll list all my debts. I only have credit card debt that I pay off month to month. Most people would list there mortgages here as well as student loans, car loans, or any debt that you are obligated to pay. Here, I would recommend only putting down stuff that you owe. I do not recommend putting any recurring monthly expenses like utility bills or grocery bills.
From that point, you can subtract your total debts from your liquid assets to get your liquid net worth. I like to have this number in case of emergencies. If you happen to occur some sort of disastrous unexpected expense, this number will show you how much money you have access to to pay for such a disaster. For example, if you have an unexpected medical bill of $20,000 and you have a liquid net worth of $40,000, you can use liquid cash to pay off the bill without having to borrow the money on credit or sell your stuff to pay for it.
Below my total debts, I like listing out all my personal property. I have my car, some electronics, other tangible items. If you own your own house you can list it here. This section is the non liquid asset section. This is stuff that you would have to sell to get cash. Electronics could be sold relatively quickly and real property would take a long time to sell.
At the very bottom, I'll total up my total assets, subtract total debt, and get my net worth. The total net worth is more useful when thinking over the long term. It accounts for having the time to sell your non liquid assets to get the most money from them.
I think it is very important for everyone to have an update a net worth statement for the pure reason that the statement will tell you where you are in life and updating the statement will tell you if you are making progress forward in life or regressing into bankruptcy.
A net worth statement is just like when you are playing Final Fantasy 8 and you press the start button to bring up your stats, total experience points, and skills. With that information, you can make decisions on which skills to work for and what magic can give your stats the best effect.
With the balance sheet, you can see your bank accounts and your debts either increase or decrease in value. Ideally, you want to get that debt down to zero and maximize the amount of assets you can accumulate. You also want to keep a certain amount of your wealth liquid in the case of emergencies.
Monitor your net worth. If it decreases, make sure to identify the reason for it. Your net worth can decrease for good or bad reasons. If you net worth is decreasing because you took a loan to get an engineering degree, make sure you have the plans to pay back those loans when you start making the salary to pay for it.
If you net worth is decreasing because you spent all your money by partying and buying expensive electronics, make sure to stop doing that.
The net worth statement is useful for getting you to your goals in life mostly because to get where you want to go, you have to know where you are now.
Week 2 includes the following:
Incline Bench: 175 at 7 reps. 165 at 6 reps. 155 at 6 reps.
Bench Press: 195 at 6 reps. 185 at 6 reps. 155 at 6 reps.

United States Married Population as a Percentage of Total Population and Total Adult Population
Going back a few years, I started hearing reports that marriage is on the decline and married couples are becoming the minority. This research is to get an idea of the actual number of married people in the United States and compare it to the total population and the total adult population.
The sources come from the US Census and Datacenter.
As of 2010, the United States total population was 309 million. The total amount of married couples, according to the census was 60,384,000. This brings the total amount of married people to roughly 121 million people.
As a percentage of married people to the total United States population, married people make up roughly 39% of the total United States population
As of 2010, the total United States adult population was 235 million people. Out of the total adult population, married people make up 51% of the total adult population.
Since 2010, I've heard that the trend for married couples is still going down.
