The two most successful things I have done are eating and transportation.
Eating: From 2007 on, I have not spent a single cent in any restaurants in America, and spent only minimum time on cooking. My average time spent making a meal is 10 minutes.
Transportation: I rely mainly on Bikes. From 2003 on, I have been biking around flushing, picking bottles, and did not spend more than 30 dollars total on MTA subway or bus fares. The total amount of money spent on maintaining/fixing my bicycle is no more than 100 dollars. The wear and tear on the bike is also kept to a minimum: I wore out 5 bikes, was stolen 5 bikes, forced to throw away 5 bikes because of moving and lack of storage. Today I own 6 bikes.
Bikes are very suitable for transpiration distance of 10 miles or less, and the radius of flushing is no more than 5 miles. If I need to travel further, I will buy an electric bike or motorcycle. But I haven't bought them due to the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
The least successful two things of my life so far are jobs and wife. I could not control these 2 things because I am not the picker, but the picked. If an employer or woman doesn't pick me, I cannot help it. I think my inability to drive is related to my failure in job hunting. Many of the jobs require drivers license, so even if the job duty itself does not require driving, usually when I interview, the interviewer would ask first 'Do you have a driver's license?'
