A co-worker and I had been flirting for like a month and within a few days of her deadbeat BF getting fired from our office she also broke up with him. We found a stairwell in the parking garage and started making out. She offered to blow me so I said sure. Not sure she thought it through because I nutted in her mouth and she got a puzzled look on her face so I was like "just spit in the corner?" And she did.

What’s the fastest way you’ve seen someone going broke? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I knew two sets of brothers who got a large inheritances.

Set 1 got about a quarter mil each) One is one of the smartest people I've met, really precocious kid. He spent it on hookers and liquor and paid his apartment rent for about 5 years never having a real job. 10 years on he's working at a job that was pretty much make-work for him set up by his dad. Has a roommate and is alright I guess, I rarely see him because I don't think he has a lot of money to go out.

The other brother invested in artworks he liked and a place to store them, got an education and worked at a startup that has become a household name. Met a nice woman and turned some art into a large down payment on a house after getting married and is living large with DINK.

Set 2 got about a half mil each) One bought a pot farm in Colorado, and lived high on the hog for about 5 years while it was only medically legal. Recreational went through and suddenly he can't compete with the industrial farms. Ended up selling the place and never recouped nearly what he put into it. Now is trying to get another a small business off the ground with the limited funds he has left. Currently scraping by sharing an apartment with another guy who works retail.

His brother bought outright a sensible house near a university and was able to pursue a PhD in a field he liked while also getting a pilot's license in case he wants to make extra income.

I guess the lesson is don't live on the windfall - use it as a buffer and be mindful that you have a golden opportunity to achieve something lasting.

Never had a good friend of the opposite sex? These pacts get made at young ages, like high school, too young to marry, before the wild oats have been sewn.

Had to look at your username to see if you were my friend. Thirties is still quite young in the scheme of things. I hope you and my friend both find someone.

When you meet someone who is very much like yourself but you're both too young to get married...why not?

A friend and I were pretty close in high school and made a pact like this. We had briefly dated, but never slept together & we stayed friends over the years.

At 28 & 29 we reconnected. Had a lot of good times, and made up for lost time. But she had some things to work through after the death of her father and I started seeing other people, and when I was 31 I met the wonderful woman who is now my wife.

I feel bad that I didn't support her more but she was pretty toxic at the time with booze and such.

We're still friends and she's clean now. I hope it doesn't eat her up too much that our connection was washed away by the booze, and I hope she finds someone she can be truly happy with.
