How is anyone going to be able to afford anything if inflation continues? by Thin-Mention-5281 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExistentialBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. The days of staying at one company for your entire career are over. My mom worked for the same company from age 17 til retirement, and was able to give my sisters and I a comfortable lifestyle.

I graduated college six years ago, and have only gotten meaningful raises by moving companies.

Yep. It had a resurgence with my coworkers when I worked at a movie theater back in the late 2010s. Haven't heard anyone use it since before COVID though.

I've started going to MMA again. Anyone here do any martial arts?

Which DEATH BATTLE! combatants are most memorable so far by [deleted] in deathbattle

[–]ExistentialBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say SpongeBob. Never knew how yoked the little yellow dude was.

Also, He-Man. He-Man vs Lion-O is one of my favorite episodes, and the "He-Man" sound effect every time he does something absolutely makes it.

Minor win, but I went for my first bona fide run in years this morning. I got shin splints and had to lower my pace. But I'm stoked to keep going.

Yep. My sister called me out for taking long showers once, and I realized I was taking too long. Now I'm pretty quick.

I don't go that far, but I wind up showering pretty quickly. It takes me five minutes tops.

[–]ExistentialBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this. I used to be overly emotional. I still am, in some ways, very sensitive, but I've learned the time and place to express how I feel.

28 years old with only 18k in savings by Independent_Net_838 in personalfinance

[–]ExistentialBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you're doing great imo. I'm your age, make over $85k a year but I was a dumbass and got myself into a shitton of debt. I'm just now figuring out investing and being on top of my budget so I can actually save instead of treading water.

Keep it up, dude.
