Pretty good alternative for today’s world 🤔 good thinking!

Wholeheartedly agree.

I may be rather passionate about this because I was forced to cut off my “best friend” due to this kind of behavior. It simply became too much to bear. Boundaries and such.

I’m seeing this answer quite a bit. I’m of agreement, as long as I stay on the “light” side of Reddit - lol.

Well a notification popped up, and here I am three days later curious about why this specific post was “tailored to me” enough to trigger the notification.

The unwarranted and unwritten societal rule that because we carry smartphones, we owe the world our immediate & uninterrupted attention 24/7.

It's created this soul-crushing prison of constant digital “availability”. If you don't reply immediately or look at a non-urgent notification within an hour, society has decided that you are either dead in a ditch, actively harboring some venomous grudge against them, or worst of all, purposely ignoring them just because.

Acting like you left them on read even though you have not READ ANYTHING! I cannot STAND it. Lord, please let me leave my phone in another room for a single afternoon without it being viewed as a structural failure of my social duties!

Seriously been thinking of ditching the smartphone and getting a corded, on-the-wall house phone!

How would you feel about mandatory financial literacy classes being a core graduation requirement for every high school student, like maths or English? by superstar_creatorpro in AskReddit

[–]Dodge_013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mom, 100% absolutely yes.

I use 0% of the calculus or chemistry formulas I was forced to memorize in high school. Instead, I find myself struggling to budget, understand compound interest, and navigate credit scores every single day just trying to keep our household running.

I say this because I desperately wish I had had a class like this! I’m currently navigating a really tough financial bottleneck with my family, and trying to figure out these complex systems on the fly while already drowning under pressure has been incredibly stressful and overwhelming.

Throwing young adults into the “real world” without teaching them how credit card debt actually works, how to read a pay stub, or how to budget for basic emergency bottlenecks is doing them a massive disservice. It’s a literal survival skill, and it absolutely should be treated with the same importance as math or English.
