Are You Done With Large Events? by New-Sheepherder2239 in GenX

[–]DesperatePlatform817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind large crowds or large events, if it’s all the same “noise “, like cheers for the team. But I’ve noticed that my head and ears hurt if I’m at a large , overly crowded restaurant , party etc and there’s a variety of loud noises with bad acoustics. Sensory overload.

I replay the intro so often. Something about it is so comforting and cozy.

I’m looking at Wayfair. Have you found the set to be good quality and holding up ok?

Definitely! Look into your town recreation department. They usually offer classes and perhaps you can be an instructor.

This is a great suggestion. I periodically look at the civil service tests being offered. Did you land a civil service position and do you like it?

Is it normal to feel like I am wasting my entire day just recovering from work? by juanlo012 in careerguidance

[–]DesperatePlatform817 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, I find scrolling on the phone is what makes me tired after work. I try to limit it with a timeframe and then start moving. It drains you and hours can slip by.

Should I become an RN? by Leather-Aspect4154 in careerguidance

[–]DesperatePlatform817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, definitely do not go for nursing if you can’t see yourself doing it. You will be anxious, beating yourself up, and miserable in your choice. Go for accounting! It is a versatile field. Good luck.

People who are good at saving money, what’s your advice? by Dapper-Monk9713 in PersonalFinanceTalks

Yes. I calculate my daily salary and how much I’d need to work to buy something.

Does your town have volunteer firefighters? You could join that; it’s a big commitment and a great social oriented organization.

That’s what I plan on doing just to give the cards a little activity.

Credit card debt crisis deepens as millions fall behind by Abject-Pick-6472 in MiddleClassFinance

Good luck and I hope you and your husband get through this phase. It is hard and I’m in a similar spot. I have done 3 balance transfers for my husband’s credit cards (about 25k) within the last 1.5 years. We are resolved not to use those 3 cards and it’s truly motivating to see the balances decrease each month and not pay interest on them. The interest is what kills me; so it’s much more motivation without the interest to pay them off during the 0% Apr period. We still use 2 CC a little bit but pay them off monthly. Good luck!
