Sweat Equity 💦
I was sitting in the changing room after conducting a brutal but satisfying workout. I overheard some co-workers of a sort (as generically as you can get in a large corporate entity) talking about an unfortunate co-worker who experienced brain bleeding after working on their house. What followed was a cascade of stories about 60–80 year old men (presumably old white men based off the conversation) experiencing brain bleeding and subsequently dying after putting some ‘sweat equity’ into their beloved investment, their place of residence.
Lesson learned: I’m definitely paying some guy to stand on a ladder to rake some leaves when I’m 64 (thank you, Beatles).
