Past 3 months in one of most dangerous areas in Chicago, West Garfield Park.

Not near as bed as expected

Also been all over Chicago, lived a year homeless in Louisville, KY. 4 months in Atlanta, 2 months in Jacksonville FL, and 2 years in Nashville.

I'm white.

How do they treat homeless Americans in Chicago and Illinois in general? Are you fed enough, do you sleep in a shelter or just outside?

Are you trying to get a job or do you like the homeless lifestyle

>answering questions
what dat mouth do?

Do you have substance abuse problems or severe mental health issues? I come into contact with homeless people fairly frequently at my job and all of them are shit humans

>t. Pawnbroker

how do u not die in the winters? do u camp out in lower wacker and put ur sleeping bag on the sewer grates like the rest of them?

>>512269221 (OP)
Have you sucked penises for money???

>>512269381
>How do they treat homeless Americans in Chicago and Illinois in general? Are you fed enough, do you sleep in a shelter or just outside?
Public services are absolutely shit. I thought from the news they'd be great but terrible. Getting into a shelter is next to impossible and there are almost no food kitchens. Getting EBT is easy though. I have no idea where the money is going but it's not going to homeless or even illegals

People in Chicago are so fucking nice and will randomly give you food throughout the day if you don't look/act scary. Will often hand money without having to panhandle


>Are you trying to get a job or do you like the homeless lifestyle
In other cities a did day labor to support my alcoholism. Here I just got a job working as a concierge at a hotel (bath in lake Michigan, clothes in storage unit)...I save up money then go on 3 month binders

I'm an alcoholic 30 drinks or more a day. Most homeless actually aren't addicts in any city I've been in, you just notice the addicts more. Also, you have no idea how many people are homeless but don't look it. When I'm sober, I routinely pick up chicks from bars and go home with them

>>512269615
>I save up money then go on 3 month binders
How much will you do on an average day?

Sounds like basically you can live decently there. Where do you see yourself a few years from now?

You should try to get room mates and share an apartment and get back on your feet.

>>512269506
Yeah, primarily wacker if it's raining, if not I just find a random place, I don't give a fuck. I have an Arctic sleeping bag that is comfy at 0 degrees farenheit

>>512269221 (OP)
How old are you and why doesn't your family support you?
I think I know the answer, people are cunts and mask their egoism behind "just pull yourself up by the bootstraps"
Second question;
What is your goal in life?
Good luck out thete

I drink way too much for roommates to tolerate me

>>512269825

Are the Carolina's terrible to live in or no? I wanted to move to Appalachia myself but I hear horror stories about the meth problems there and rampant black crime.

>>512269791
I'm 37. Family is cool and we get along, but I choose to live this way and I'm sure they would help me if I tried to live a normal life

>>512269859

You can still find Chicago apartments under a grand a month if you look in Little village, Pilsen, and Hegewisch. Or at the most 1300 bucks a month. If you waited tables or did door dash youd make enough for rent.

>>512269887
There's drugs and nigs but 100 times better than Tennessee or Kentucky

>>512269221 (OP)
Your life is great compared to mine. About 3.5 years ago when I was just 17 I trusted the doctors who performed my gender reassignment surgery. Now here I am with a handful of surgeries and a gaping rotting wound where my penis used to be. I just want to be a male again and truly thought it was temporary if I changed my mind later. Fml

>>512269859

>alcoholic

Been there. Former homeless alcoholic here. Almost died from DTs probably like 20 times. Went in debt almost 60 grand, destroyed my health. Rehab multiple times. Jail twice. Now make half a mil a year and own a very nice house. Been sober for years. If you want some tips I’m happy to help. You probably already know this, but you’re killing yourself with the drinking. Either you quit or you’ll die. If you want to die, there’s no one that can help you. If you want to live, I suggest you hit AA.

>>512269951
I'm considering doing that actually BUT, if I choose to start drinking again there is no way I can hold a job for more then a few weeks. If I get drunk after being sober, I won't stop until im withdrawing and get committed to psych ward

>>512269859

But you may have to live in the far south side of Chicago or something to get a better rent deal. North side is very expensive and the west side is increasing in price.

>>512269986
I've been to well over a thousand meetings, AA just isn't for me and after knowing so many other addicts. Some who make it and some who don't, it really boils down to choosing to stop. It's easy for me not to drink, until I have a few and then there is no fucking chance I can stop

>>512270073
South side is the only place in Chicago where I've ran into trouble with nigs. West side nigs actually pretty decent. I didn't with If I get blackout drunk on the West side. Fuck no on the south side though

>>512270105

Same. If I have one, I’ll have fifty. And won’t stop until I’m hooked up to an IV and strapped to a bed. For people like us there’s only abstinence. Hope you decide to quit. It took me years to finally commit to it.

>>512270023

You have to control the drinking somehow, if you cant quit for good atleast moderate it to a tolerable level. How many drinks do you drink a week?

>>512270200

>moderate

For some people that is literally not an option

>>512270200
>You have to control the drinking somehow, if you cant quit for good atleast moderate it to a tolerable level. How many drinks do you drink a week?
Moderation is simply not possible for me. A liter is roughly 25 drinks. I have at least that every day and piggy back it with wine and beer. Easily over 200 drinks every week. My last e.r. visit I walked into with a .65

Somehow my liver is fine

>>512269221 (OP)
A lot of homeless there commit suicide by train. Have you witnessed this yet?

>>512270250
>For some people that is literally not an option
Exactly this. That's what people don't get about real addicts. The way your brain literally gets hijacked from a neural pathway point of view is unreal

>>512270308
No, only city I routinely saw dead bodies was Louisville

>>512269221 (OP)
Cool story drug problem guy. Sounds to me like youre just following the meth around

>>512270289

200 DRINKS A FUCKING WEEK. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

>>512270401
You would be amazed how many people drink like that. I held a professional job for 12 years drinking about 150 a week

>>512270489
and now youre bragging about your homelessness and alcohol addiction on pol?
why would i ask anything to you?
you should ask other people and not the other way around

>>512270401
>>512270489

Kek I had a series of white collar jobs (ended up getting fired from them all) when I was drinking hard and I was in the same boat. Had some weekends I’d probably put down 200+ just from Friday to Sunday. Inevitably this would lead to the detox on benzos and IV/get fired/bullshit my way into a new job cycle. Then I’d relapse again and repeat. Many alcoholics are very effective in other aspects of our lives, and we are often very convincing liars.

>>512270572
No, I intended this thread to be about what it's like living in the most dangerous area of a supposedly very dangerous city,

It'll be interesting to see how much op likes it on the streets of chicago when winter sets in.

>>512270105
Bro there’s no way you’re picking up chicks at bars if you drink like that lol. Even if you did your dick wouldn’t work.

>>512270647
why would i care about some random hobos opinion of living in some niggershitghetto?

>>512270489

What if you went from that large amount to like 15 drinks over the span of a month?

>>512270598
Lulz, indeed. I could go back to white collar and make decent money again but id choose homeless/death before dealing with kiked out corporate America again

>>512270652
I did ask of February and it wasn't bad
>>512270678
Obviously I do that when I'm not drunk

>>512270720

If you can get a good WFH job it’s worth it now. Literally the only option for me because if I had to be in an office I would absolutely get drunk all the time liked I used to. Shit is unbearable.

>>512270698
If I cut down from 30 a day to only 15 a day, id go into DTs and have seizures. 15 will make your average person comatose but id still be in withdrawal.

It's noted in my charts at the hospital that I get barbiturates and benzos even if I have a high bac

>>512270766
Finding a WFH job now is next to impossible. I used to do fintech and it's all outsourced to fucking pajeets offshore or h1b here

>>512269986
What do you do that you make half a million a year? Congratulations on turning it around. That's pretty cool to hear amid all the doom and negativity here.

>>512270877

Ok do it drink by drink however you have to do it but drink less each time and ween yourself off of it.

>>512271138
Tapering does work for a lot of people, but with that much alcohol, it's difficult to have willpower to stop drinking when you are absolutely shit faced and craving more

>>512271212

What do you like about drinking? The intoxicating feeling it produces or do you use it as a coping mechanism?

I had a beer for the first time a couple days ago and I could taste how bad it was and it made my stomach hurt. I don't understand how people can drink it so much. I do smoke though, for me nicotine is hard to quit. I like cigars.

>>512271212

The only alcohol I like or could stand is wine. I'l drink wine sometimes with dinner but thats it. Beer and spirits are too much. They fuck you up too much with a high ABV percentage and its a slippery slope.

>>512271616
I've done every drug known to man. The only one I've cared about is alcohol. I've had a pretty great life (on paper) just have never enjoyed it.

I don't drink too cope with anything that has happened to me, I just find life to be so insanely boring sober. Also, I have zero desire to interact with people in person sober and fucking hate it (even though I'm very good at it) but for some reason I love hanging out with random people drunk and in general just enjoy being drunk into oblivion

Hard to explain

Also I like the stimulant feeling nicotine gives me, makes me focus a lot better and helps my ADD. If I smoke a cigar while drinking coffee its even better. Alcohol is literally a depressant in how it mentally makes you feel and physically.

>>512270489
1.33 drinks per waking hour for those wondering.

>>512271647
I absolutely hate the taste of any alcohol. I drink either straight vodka and have her l learned how to block myself from tasting... If I'm not being cheap, I'll buy high alcohol Riesling which is the only thing that even remotely comes close to tasting good or maybe another semi sweet ice cold white win
I hate the taste so much I have considered injecting vodka

>>512271774
I actually prefer nicotine over cocaine. Somehow I can start and stop those with zero cravings

>>512271863

See I could never drink straight vodka. its odorless its tasteless its insanely easy to overdose on.

And when you say being sober is boring, yes I can see why you think that but your liver will thank you. You don't want jaundice or liver failure dude, your not even 40 years old thats fucked.

>>512269221 (OP)
come to LA the homeless here live in makeshift mansions

>>512269221 (OP)
Where in Louisville?

>>512269701
So like to their place?

>>512272146
I had a nice hideaway near Broadway and baxter I typically stayed under. Occasionally would break into a parking garage that was fenced off if it was raining
>>512272146
Typically pick up chicks from out of town and go to their hotel

>>512272442
I used to know a smack dealer right in that spot

>>512271771
i'm the opposite
i drank last night and am so fkn sick of hangovers that i won't drink again for months
opioids are another story... i hope i can take them forever

>>512272086
>the homeless here live in makeshift mansions
so like, normal mansions but built out of toothpicks and cardboard?

>>512272578
>opioids are another story... i hope i can take them forever
you are gonna end up in jail or dead. you better stop now while you still have a soul to save.

>>512271863
>I absolutely hate the taste of any alcohol.
kek, yet i like the taste of mid-range bourbon and many beers... but the hangovers and gut aches are just not for me anymore

How old are you?
Are your organs still somewhat healthy?
Where exactly are you staying?
I know this cool dude who runs a clinic on the south he can give you a free stay and hot meals. I can let him know youre coming.

>>512272532
What threw me off about Louisville is how much everyone there loves spice lol. Also unlike other cities, way more meth than crack and fent
>>512272532
I've never gotten hangovers somehow... Maybe because it's hard to get a hangover if your literally drunk 24/7

>>512272736
Ahhh OK, heavy drinker.
Never Mind.

How die you manage to Not get murdered yet?

Solo homeless people are honestly incoprehensibly chad. Id Shit and piss my pants the First night and Just curl Up and eait for death, im such a pussy.

>>512269506
He hasn't dealt with a Chicago winter yet, he's been living in places like Atlanta and Jacksonville. You need to get prepared OP, there's a reason that lots of homeless always die in Chicago each winter.

>>512272640
i would not mind an early death... i can't imagine living to my 60s dealing with more crohns related surgeries which take a fkn year to recover from
i thought about dying 2 years straights, it's that fuckin destabilizing... gut issues from the time u wake up till u go to bed and takes hours to sleep... that's why i drank last night, slept 4 shitty hours to wake up to a hangover... disgusting way to live

>>512272736
how do you travel around? train hopping? I met a couple guys from pasadena once in louisivlle jail who were train hopping alcholoics. We got released at the same time so I bought them a pint cause you know in Lville liquor stores open all night. They were in pretty bad shape

>>512272714
>>512272714
37
I had my labs done a few weeks ago and my body is actually in near perfect condition. The doctor wouldn't have believed I was an alcoholic as bad as I am without them have previously had me admitted to ICU numerous times before

Im actually near the loop past week. What's the clinic, I might stop by and talk to them. If I do start drinking again though I won't stay because I refuse to inconvenience or subject people to me being drunk

>>512272863
well the opiods will definitely make you wish for death when you finally decide to kick them

>>512272845
I've come close to being murdered numerous times
>>512272852
I did Chicago in February and lived in Eastern Tennessee mountains during winter no problem

>>512272736
>Maybe because it's hard to get a hangover if your literally drunk 24/7
yeah, that's what i figured... well, at least u've got that covered

>>512272938
how old are you? dont you have family? wtf are you doing with your life? how did it get this bad? you just gonna drink til you die?

>>512272887
I usually do odd jobs for a couple days and buy a bus ticket. Occasionally I'll fly if I find a crazy deal on a plane

>>512269221 (OP)
Go south in October, somewhere warm like San Diego or Houston

Chicago will be cold as hell come winter

>>512273014
37
I have family who'd take me in if I chose to stay sober
I chose for it to be this 'bad'. I can go back to making 6 figures and live what most people want...I just like drifting and around and going on crazy reckless adventures.
Yes, I'm going to drink until I die and am perfectly content with that

>>512272922
>well the opiods will definitely make you wish for death when you finally decide to kick them
i've ran short a few times and it's not pleasant but it's not as bad as dealing with crohns itself, not even close
mainly it just felt like i had a cold, sweats and a weird tingling all over when i ran out

>>512273073
I might, but I really have no trouble with cold weather as long as it's above 0 farenheiht

>>512272938
The 2024 winter was unusually warm for Chicago, in comparison 2021 was brutally cold and saw more deaths than usual. Honestly, you should probably do what >>512273073 is saying and move south when the weather gets bad, or better yet just fix up your life instead.

>>512273119
it gets much worse bud, that is the honeymoon, not the marriage

>>512273119
Fuck crohns, that has to be miserable. I can see being addicted to opiates being a lot easier

>>512273208
Still won't get below zero at night often, if it does, I'll just go to lower wacker where the giant heat vents are. I did that when it was 10 degrees and got too hot in my sleeping bag

>>512269901
Did you visit Riverbanks zoo?

>>512273505
A number of times, was always hammered though and just remember the aquarium

>>512273210
yeah i'm sure... but i won't have to worry about it for a while, anything could happen between now and then anyway
>>512273234
yeah, it's helped me absolutely, to both function to a degree and sleep.. i would've been dead already several times if it weren't for surgery so whatever helps me get by, i will take

>>512269562
> no comment
That means yes.

>>512269901
Jesus fuckin christ, u sound like me. Just quit booze and go live with them u moron

>>512269957
Why would u do that??? Id assume larp.
Ffs? Fine, worse case you just look like a "pretty boy". Tit job? Can be removed. HRT? well it can have some long last sides, if you started it under 25, but most of its mostly tolerable, but dick/ball removal??? Fucking insane.

>>512273116
I get you arent cut out for the normie wage cuck life, I am the same, but jfc you dont have to drink yourself to death. Go to fucking India and become a hare krishna, or ta buddhist monk somewhere.

this website is very informative

>>512270289
You WILL die within 5-10 years if you go on like this.

>>512270755
do you take them back to the fridge box on third street for a bit of the in-and-out? LED nightlight for romance (candle burned up the last box), some wild irish rose in a styrofoam cup. perhaps essential oils to mask the smell of urine

>>512273023
What odd jobs? I've never been hanging around and have been offered a one day job

>>512273603
go to haymarket center in the loop they have a medical detox and residential prohrams to transition to for up to 18mo if youre as bad off as you say

you might have some “steppers” on staff but as an institution they recognize that aa isnt something that worked for everyone and you still need help.

i dropped out of cadc school at haymarket realized i cant do the job and have much more respect for those who do.

i went to aa for 13 years and cycled in and out , didnt actually get or stay sober until i quit the program, now im almost at 4 years.

and while i encountered lots who stepped over everyones bodies and said “welllll i dont care it works for meeeee” but i outlasted most of them in the long run. most are drinking using dead or also stopped going. no matter how passionately they insisted we all had to go forever and ever and ever or else.

dont let any of that discourage you. aa doesnt work for or help MOST people.

but theyre not your only option and you dont have to live like this anymore

id just about rather die than do treatment or meetings again but. if i had relapaed and ended up in that state again id go.

jokingly and affectionately called haymarket “cellblock H” for years

ive detoxed there and used to chair a 12-step group on their outpatient center a long time ago.

cook county pays for the treatment you just tell them youre a cook co resident (transient in chicago),

>>512269221 (OP)
For my experience, if you want live homeless do it in a small town or village, cities are full of mads idiots and in your country of crazy niggers

They need to reopen asylums and round you all up.
I have a 37 year brother who is a homeless alcoholic. Has some kind of mental illness, acts like a schizo or maybe he is just demon possessed.
Collects Social Security at $1k a month and lives in a tent.
There is always ome excuse why he can't fix his life.
These people can't care for themselves and it is impossible to force them to get help.
Just sad all around how the government enables these people. They need treatment and a safe place to stay.

It took centuries to work out that putting all the mentally ill people in one spot made all of them into citizens of a mentally ill community, so they all got and stayed worse.

Care in the community always leads to better outcomes.

I detoxed at Haymarket and it was decent. The only thing is though if you want to stay after rehab for they sober living shit, you have to have at least 500 going in and can't start working till the 6th week now but have to pay rent. What addict walks into Haymarket with 500. You resort to Haymarket once you are down to zero

>>512269221 (OP)
It's pretty cool being homeless on the weat coast. Why Chicago? Why a city? I fucking hated sleeping outside in cities.

Most of these super heavy drinkers get pancreatitis and die from that, usually sudden, or if they live that's when they find out that their "fine" liver is actually a hardened scarred mess and will die within five years of they keep drinking.

go to california, bruh. costa mesa specifically. theres more addiction centers and trap houses there then there is in the entire united states, its fucking insane.

didnt say that. i went to the system there and discovered theres an entire ecosystem of grifting there. you say you save up money from working then go on big benders? easy peasy in california, any house will accept you if you can afford the rent and show up drunk, you can live under a roof with tv, internet and air cond for like a few hundred bucks (addict housing is fucking cheap sometimes, depends on what gifter shit is inside (stay at OUR addict house and let us claim 4 grand a month for your stay from insurance while we bill you 400 bucks a month AND then kick you out the second you are high remorselessly!

I brought a black homeless homie up to my apartment a couple years back because I was drunk as hell and went on a walk to the homeless tents under the bridge to drop off some clothes I didn’t want anymore because it was like -10 degrees outside. On my way back I saw him trying to sleep on a bench and I told him to come to my place to take a hot shower and have some hot soup. He came up and we watched futurama for a little while and I sobered up a bit and asked him to leave; which he did. I gave him $50 and never saw him again.

Seems like a fun way to play the system, you get to exist in a super expensive area while the normies pays thousands a year in taxes.

I am genuinly interested

Any trouble with ants, ticks, flies etc

What is better, to camp in the open where people can see you, I guess people may be less likely to rob you with people looking on.
Maybe its better to be hidden with the idea that if they can't see you then they won't bother you. But is it possible to be truly hidden when homeless.

Whats better, to just pack the minimum and buy what you need or pack a lot of long lasting food.

Say if you have a laptop is it better to store stuff like that in a storage locker and just have what you need for the night in the tent.

Squatting seems good, I know there are plenty of empty houses around. Why do people spray paint the houses they are squatting in, it seems like it would be much smarter to stay hidden. It is really just middle class suburban teenagers when places end up like that. I read one story of some dumbass homeless guy that the owner let them sleep in the garage and the fool smokes in bed and ended up burning the garage down.

Do you have to wake up super early.

Be safe, I've seen people act like it would pretty funny to harm the homeless, this person was pretty poor themselves too.

>>512290428
This. Most blood draw lab tests/blood panels don't reveal the hardening and scarring of the liver because the liver more or less retains full functionality even when diseased, up until the point at which the remaining healthy portion of the liver can no longer support the diseased portion. Only advanced testing (ultrasound or biopsy) reveals the actual physical status of the liver. So most hardcore alcoholics think their livers are totally fine, until functionality suddenly drops off a cliff (decompensated liver disease) and they're experiencing the end stages of cirrhosis.

After reading your posts I think you would be an adventurer of old times. Or like an old sailor. Traveling to different lands drunk. I did some time in the US navy and would sail to these countries and walk around drunk all day with my sailors was pretty fun. I’m actually 18 months sober now, I didn’t drink as hard as you but as I got into my thirties I started getting alcohol withdrawals and I couldn’t handle the insomnia for days. Went to a hospital where they gave me benzodiazepine and I detoxed. Now here I am 18 months sober.

Good luck my friend .

I've had no trouble with bugs at all in Chicago, in every other city it's a challenge

The only time I've had shit stolen from me is when I've passed out drunk in the open on the sidewalk or alley lol

I'm Chicago at least, no one really fucks with you negatively at all, including the nigs in most hoods... Except the deep south side and they really aren't that bad. They usually nicely tell you that you can't hang in this street or block. They aren't aggressive about it, more of a warning

I carry a 100 liter backpack and carry everything and also have a storage unit

If I'm sleeping in a park I get up whenever, if literally on the sidewalk if a street or in a alley, around 7am

I've only had one person truly try to fuck with me and I chased them for a half mile screeching insanely with a 4loko in one hand and a knife in the other. No intention of hurting him, just wanted to scare him.

Why do so many homeless guys or larping homeless guys post on here and why do they get so much attention? Like 99% of homeless are mentally ill oraddicted to hard drugs or both. So yeah it's not bad if you're just q lazy faggot.

Hop youre still around OP. Reading through your posts and I was like you. I have no mental illnesses, nothing to hide from, no depression etc...I just got the alcoholic gene. I get one drink in me and bam, switch gets flipped...I lose 3 months. I was also able to drink insane quantities, way more than the average person and im a skinny guy. Anyhow I've been sober for over a decade now and all it came down to was not picking up that first drink. I just dont do it. Been through a ton of stress in these last 10 years, some real horrible stuff. But I made a decision to never pick up that first drink. If you can do that, you'll be back to normal super fast. Hope you can find your way out.

>>512303553
You're mentally ill if you can't handle drinking alcohol..if your response to having a drinking problem is to just be homeless, that's a sign of mental illness too. You have the mental illness gene.

Im also married, have a great job, plenty of scratch in the bank etc. All that aside, yes, if I get even a small amount of booze in me im gone. Its hard to explain if you dont have it, feels like a completely seperate form of hunger. Im willing to bet OP has blue eyes.

you said earlier it's hard to tell if some people are homeless. This is always my tipoff. Always with the backpack. I live in a city with I suspect lots of people living like you, on the streets by choice not by necessity. While I can understand and even admire that choice on some level, I still want you the fuck away from me and my house.

A decent amount. I was born in Kensington in Philadelphia. My father was addicted to heroin and homeless for a few years and I've eaten at soup kitchens where me and dad were the only whites there. That was early 90s

>>512296773
I did a similair thing and the dude offered me molly and started gooning. It was so odd i just kept drinking. When he got upset that i didnt offer him the last beer i kicked him out. Ive tried to be nice to homeless people but theres always one weirdo that ruins it.

Bc all the “homeless” people in America are homeless by choice. They’re usually alcoholics/ druggies, have mental issues they won’t get treated, or just like the lifestyle.

"Slumming it" has been around forever. Rich trust fund kids are known for this. They can always just go back home and get taken care of at any point.

His story could easily be true. I knew of someone similar, basically exact same story. Came from an upper middle class family, big house in the burbs, had a college degree. He literally refused to get a job. I don't think he had ever worked a job. Instead, he would do that same thing, couch surf "vibing" making "music," living in the back of his pickup truck, raiding little caesers and grocery store dumpsters for food.

I remember the last time he came over to my house he had a bunch of pizzas and produce he told me he got from dumpster diving (gross). He hit me up recently and I didn't answer the phone because I know if I let him come over to my new place he'll never leave. One time I had to force him to leave because I asked and he said he had nowhere to go.

The guy was not disabled or anything. Perfectly intelligent, just absolutely couldn't stand the thought of having a stable job, wanted to explore constantly and have no responsibilities. This is the majority of homeless, and of course, my buddy would literally do any drugs he could get his hands on, and would do them from the time he woke up until sleep with 0 self restraint.

Dude get yourself an oz of mushrooms and take 2.5-3.5g's a day until they are all gone. Like yourself I went to thousands of meetings and dozens of rehabs.

I'm not that poster, but if you can climb at all in big companies, especially big tech, that kind of money is not out of reach at all, especially in a major city. Sales types can get there too if they are good at it.
I'm not the kind of person that can do that -- am a spergy engineer -- but I have seen people do it. It just takes people skills that for a few people are totally natural.
I know people making that kind of money in Seattle that are simple first level engineering managers. Their jobs aren't even that technical anymore, it's just playing politics all day long.

Perfect labs isn't the same thing as perfect condition. Your body is very good at compensating for accumulated damage, right up until it isn't. Then it's too late and things get bad fast. It sounds like you've won the genetic lottery so far but you are operating outside the limits of what any human can maintain long term.
Not that it's any of my business. You're a grown man and get to make your own decisions. Enjoy your life as best you can. Just keep in mind that you will miss resilience when it's gone.
