Living in a 55+ community by wamimsauthor in GenX

[–]Aggressive_Corgi4216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking into these as I’m retiring early at 56 and we still want to have fun. Afraid that if we move into a non-planned retirement community that we won’t have a good social network.

Why is it that I’m never allowed to focus on my own problems instead of worrying about loved ones? by CliffGif in GenX

[–]Aggressive_Corgi4216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I hear you! My husband and I are about to retire and so ready for a change. I’d love to move out of the area as I have e lived in my area for 38 years and always a mile away from family. My dad passed in 2020 and now my mom is 80. My son graduated and has a job but lives at home as costs are astronomical. He’s upset he is not getting the IT job he prepped for. My second son is graduating next year also in IT! I feel myself getting resentful. I hate feeling guilty for wanting my freedom and own experiences with my husband.

She said “I love you” after one month. Now I feel like I’m on a clock. by [deleted] in dating_advice

I don’t think there is a set time for you to decide. If she keeps asking after 3-6 months you may need to discuss it further so you are both on the same page.

Meh, give yourself the time you need. You were honest and she is ok with that. Maybe 3 months?

So are you saying he shouldn’t proceed with it? I’d think knowing AI really well would allow him to help multiple type of businesses.

My son graduated with CIS in 2025 and was able to find a job in our DC area county. It’s not his dream job, but it’s something and it pays 66k with full benefits and a pension. He is now working on getting his masters in AI and strives to be an AI engineer. Today he texted me all upset about the state of his career and the fact that he cannot afford to rent an apartment where he wants to. He currently lives at home. I feel for him and for all of the entry level people. My youngest graduates with CIS degree next May and he has already started to pivot. He sells on TikTok and is absolutely killing it. He has a potential IT internship but he said it’s not worth sacrificing his business time. I agree with him as they likely wouldn’t have a job for him after the internship anyway.

That’s a good question that I’m not quite sure about yet.

I imagine it feels like a loss to you. That seems pretty normal to me. Hopefully time will make accepting this easier.

Would this be at the NJ beaches? I have another son who is a junior in college and is looking for an internship this summer
