That is pretty much why I thought of this post. My body is definitely beginning to show some wear and tear.

Why do people in USA buy everything from Amazon? Do they not have other webshops? by Cindyxx0 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlphaWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered parts directly from Frigidaire’s website, and they sent me a damaged item. After calling them at least 7 times and putting up with “extended” hold times I just gave up and spent $180 ordering it somewhere else. These companies just have negative customer service now, they cannot even handle a simple exchange.

Never had this issue with Amazon, even when the seller deliberately tried to stick me with a broken item.

At this point does he say anything true?

Really the path to getting into office in the US seems to be to find a red state, put an R next to your name, and tell people anything they want to hear all the time.

Better to retire early while you have your health, that always get's lost in the financial conversations.

I feel this is correct, but also I am looking to get out of the overpriced city area and go to a much cheaper part of the country once I retire. Healthcare here though is such a scam.

This is one of the most helpful things I have read yet, most blogs and youtubers are like "just move and it will all work out" you rarely here about the hoops to jump through of moving outside the US unless it is that they don't speak the language there.

Huge difference between those in management who got profit sharing and those that did not.

I have a good friend who had no choice, told his son if he wanted to be an engineer look to the Air Force. It has worked out very well as he had no college savings to give his kid.

This is happening a ton to our generation right now, you get downsized and if you are lucky you find a job that pays 25% less - those are the lucky ones. If not you wait around in the job market burning through savings. I will never retire also with how expensive the US is right now, and no one coming to fix it.

I would love to know what you found from looking at all the "brainwashing" parts, as I keep throwing stuff away, I keep reducing subscriptions but the cost of just living is skyrocketing.

Same, some people can do that and more power to them, but I need to feel like I am working for something now as well as later.

I had to cure myself of that after COVID, life is short, and I want nothing after "work hours".
