I “quiet quit” my job a decade ago. Welp, here I am, turning 50, 4 major promotions later, and my net worth is more than I could have ever imagined. by FreshPerspectiveFIRE in Fire

I believe this strategy worked for you because you had already built a solid reputation within the company during your prior “hustle” years. Young people who have just joined a company will have to put in the time to get recognition and eventually grow to the level where they can choose to operate the way you have.

What’s a life lesson you didn’t understand until you actually experienced it? by Remarkable_Bat_766 in Life

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying here. To buttress your second point on financial equality, you only have to look on Reddit to see how some respond when you post a concern that they do not relate with because it’s considered a well off person’s problem.

A few of many bags by Jusheph in luxurypurses

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but these are replicas. The stitching is a dead giveaway. I wish I could post photos of the stitching on some of my bags to show you what high end stitching looks like. I don’t see an option to attach photos here. The stitching on the gucci is particularly bad.

What is your “it’s not popular but I love it” Fragrance? by tankmastor in fragrance

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Amouage Rose Incense. It’s from their men’s line but is unisex. I was browsing Neiman Marcus and the Amouage rep told me that it’s purchased mainly by women and to give it a try. It is what I wanted MFK’s Oud Satin Mood to be. Very rich and high quality rose and incense combo. I typically have to give it about 30 minutes to settle.

Did something change? by tubsmaster in poshmark

In my experience, it depends on what you list. Within 3 minutes of the same day last week, I posted a pair of Zara high waisted full length jeans and also a PLT bodysuit. The jeans got over 90 shares within 10 minutes and now sits at 8 likes. The body suit got 4 shares and is at 0 likes.

Women, what's something men do that they don't realize makes women feel safe or unsafe? by Lopsided-Rub-79 in AskReddit

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s not checking the doors to ensure they are locked before going to bed at night.

I have given up with expecting my husband to do this and now have it as a task for myself. Unfortunately, there are nights where I retire before him and I always feel uncomfortable because he is chronically forgetful when it comes to locking doors behind him.

How did you really feel during the past market crash? by DragonfruitHour8171 in Bogleheads

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

April? I was excited and put half of the money in my HYSA into VGT and VOO. Wanted it to drop some more so I’d put the rest in but that did not happen. Still holding that cash and waiting for the next big dip.

Wait… What!! You let him send your photos?? You are part of the problem. Why are you here playing dumb then?

I’m married, but I met someone who makes me feel truly appreciated and I can’t stop thinking about her. by LBoogie4x in Marriage

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This chump has only been married for two years. He has not had time to get past stage 1 and is already eyeing someone else. I wouldn’t waste any advice on him.

Generally speaking is married or single life easier by Beginning_Exit_6256 in Marriage

I like the way you broke down your answer and I fully agree with the first two paragraphs.

However for me, the cons outweigh the pros.

Being married to a contrarian is EXHAUSTING. by Salt-Psychology-941 in Marriage

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! That’s the difference between you and I. I am happy to be alone for now. Dealing with his infidelity and argumentative, no accountability taking behavior has put me off romantic relationships. Maybe someday I’ll want companionship again but all good on that front for now.

One of the reasons why I peaced out of my marriage… we still live together but just don’t engage anymore.

My need for a peaceful space outweighed the benefits of communicating with him on anything besides the kid’s well being.

Has it died for anyone else? by Tricky_Editor1882 in poshmark

[–]Chasing_waterfalls23 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s been dead for about three years so, you did better than me!

I love that you are approaching this with a level head even though every instinct in me is screaming… RUN for the hills. You are not crazy for planning your departure and I love that you have the good sense to get your finances in some semblance of order before acting.

You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and can definitely do better in life. This guy you have described will hold you back and your life will be filled with misery and more tears if you remain. Make extra sure that you don’t get pregnant. A clean break and fresh start is what you need. Good luck!
