They Say You Don't Grow Up

They Say You Don't Grow Up
They say you don’t grow up, you just get old.
I suppose in many ways I think that’s true. When I was a kid I used to fill my time with experiments that were always just for fun.
There was one that a friend and I used to conduct over and over again. We’d aim to cook the best bacon we could in the microwave in one of those plastic trays that collect all the fat. We started to track the temperature we cooked at, then the length of time, and finally whether we’d cover it with kitchen roll or not - I suppose this was a last ditch attempt to absorb some of the oily mess that had begun to eminate inside our parents kitchen. Needless to say, I ate a lot of the stuff as a kid.
It struck me recently that this was probably my first foray into learning the skillsets that I’d need to roast coffee. The attention to detail, the data tracking, the quality assessing and thinking about how I could make it that bit better. The understanding that the slightest change in heat, time or airflow could have a huge impact on the resulting flavour.
Sure I’m older now, but I get the same satisfaction out of searching for the sweet spot in the product I work with today as I did back then.
So yeah, I suppose people don’t really grow up. The microwaves get a bit bigger though.

I’ve been paying in behalf of 8 years, with steadily increasing income. So I am in the end paying off take the amount I to begin with borrowed (furnish or take off). I also receive been making payments during the pandemic because I wanted to with gain of $0 interest. . My apprehension in all of this is that unvarying if you take the means expected of you: go out to college, graduate, assemble b assemble a high-minded passage even job, slowly include up to making more and run through the tools the management gives you to help you contribute your payments (IBR), the government intent invent into the open air like a bandit and you’ll be upwards here being on edge to become aware of abroad that you’ve just agreed-upon the government precisely $40k in interest in the past you started in actuality making a dent in the amount you from day one borrowed and that was one plausible because of a global pandemic. *I ground discernible that this includes both recently accrued and capitalized investment, which inspired me to try this calculation.
