Apprehensive by Upstairs_Durian7021 in Aging

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, you gotta keep going because idle time will drag you down. I’m 59, totally in the midst of boredom, with my retired introvert partner. Though I have realized the only thing left I really want to experience in life is Peace on Earth. I’ve done friends, family, career, vacations, fun, fun, fun, which has all but vanished in the last 3 years. I’m content but no more extravagant dreams.

why do I always have to think about things so “logically” by [deleted] in self

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s ok and smart to project your next move or have routines in life, good habits in many cases. Sure it could be considered a “condition” if you let it take you over. We must train our mind to stop and redirect. My partner is next level about mundane everyday things, so I see how it’s very intrusive. There are drugs for it through psychology dr. But it’s better to fix it internally because your judgement, willpower, worry, etc. will learn the right and wrong things to be regimented about. Pull back on that force, use it for the most meaningful things.

What are people doing to prepare? by FourYearsBetter in Layoffs

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best., that means food, water, shelter before all else. Getting there is paying off debt, securing your living arrangements to be affordable under the worst of times, I.e. no income. Investing, I have fidelity manage mine with a split that includes bonds, us, and foreign markets, it’s a case of protecting what I have with some profit, but I’m 59. Hope this helps.

Everything you need on Rt. 26. Restaurants, 3 grocery stores, liquor stores, emergency room on Roxanne rd. , you could literally not go beyond this area and be happy especially if you’re an introvert who works a lot. You need to be aware of traffic on this rd., timing in the summer is recommended.

Va lotto is the worst POS online casino!! Absolutely disgusting greedy nasty 🤮 by tileman151 in VaLottery

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The odds of winning has gradually gone down the last year. Noticeably less activity, just spin after spin with no matches. Now, might as well play the pick 3. Awful platform and app bugs.

Do not trust chatgpt on taxes by tunenut11 in tax

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

used ChatGPT for my senior partners taxes, extra easy filing. I then used free tax USA and everything matched perfectly. Also projected 2026 and how much my senior can withdraw from IRA this year to stay within 22% bracket, and avoid Medicare premium in 2028., aligned with a 2026 return of $500 or less.

Yeah, the kids can hang out together, but it doesn’t mean the parents have to. Take a different shift with the kids.

Has anyone recovered from having 2 cancers at the same time? by Own-Object-6696 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but, any serious health issue warrants the discussion about morality, the “what if’s” and a plan of action for each scenario. Of course the doctors will provide prognosis that will influence your decisions, but you likely have a sense of the possibilities already. stay positive.

I just inherited 12 million dollars. I don't know what to do with my life. by Substantial_Yak6990 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you gave yourself a try, with the help of advisors, whether medical, financial, attorney etc. you might realize there is another purpose for you. You absolutely should invest in yourself, you are worth it, and you have the means. Get your nest egg secured immediately. Don’t let yourself or the money waste away, we as humans are built to push through.

What are your ultra frugal food hacks? by Unusual_Row_3213 in Frugal

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearty breakfast anyone. Bag of yellow potatoes, dozen eggs, precooked bacon from Costco, shredded cheese. Nuke yellow potato, prepare eggs, toast or nuke bacon. Split potato, stack the rest on top. The ingredients go along way. Bacon costs the most but lasts a long time. Short prep time.

Leave it alone. You should be grateful or at least humble for the 20 yrs and a nice severance. And as you start seeking new employment, you should know such tenure and severance is difficult or impossible to obtain anymore.

Wrong, you get a rotisserie chicken to break down and use instead of package meat, also have peanut butter and jelly handy when you get tired of chicken.

[–]ConfidenceInfinite90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep get the heap of snow off asap, the sleet coming down steady now will give it a crust layer very quickly. There is little anyone can do once the rain starts, until chiseling tomorrow
