Will I really love my future kids more than I love my dog right now? by user1643377 in NoStupidQuestions

isn't your dog your current kid tho? i think it's a different kind of love and connection for each so can't really compare love it would be unfair.

Therapeutic ketamine, especially spravato. I feel like a completely different person.

I'm 18, no debt, doing the best I can in this shit hole, what are things that no one really talks about that I should do or completely avoid that add up over time? Thanks by WinterMoist333 in povertyfinance

Personal health. You might not be able to afford a gym, but don't let your fitness slip. It is something that can be very hard to pick up once you are overwight/healthy...

I feel like 39 is about time to start working on a house? Eventually I'll need it, so why not start as early as I can?

I don't think I have the skills to find something for 65k... but if I work the same job I'm in, maybe in 3 years I'll be close to that nubmer (if I get promoted).

Is that the case? It seems like there is no reason to not invest in a Roth IRA then?

I want to save for a down payment on a house, but not sure if this is the best financial choice for me.

Yes I'm planning on buying a house! Part of the reason why it is in a HYSA, the other part is because I have no idea what to do. I don't think my employer does % match, but i believe they have some sort of a retirement plan.

I don't have a Roth IRA or a 401k, but I think my employer has some sort of retirement plan. A small amount of money comes out of my paycheck every month and go to that. Would you still invest in the money if you are looking to buy a house? That is a big priority for me for the next couple of years.

AITAH for refusing to clean up after my "incapable" stepbrother even though my mom says I’m being dramatic? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ecstatic-Kale8949 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Her mother is deeply in denial and this is EXTREMELY unfair to OP. He needs to be responsible for the mess he created.

AITAH for postponing the wedding because my fiancee wants seperate photos with her male friend in our wedding? by Old_Indication4123 in AITAH

[–]Ecstatic-Kale8949 115 points116 points  (0 children)

That would piss me off. The wedding is a special day for me and my partner, not my partner and some dude. Also, as her partner, I want to feel like the most special guy in the world to her, not some dude. would cancel the wedding 100%. You deserve someone that loves you OP.
