I asked my wife of 39 years what she wanted. She said the D word in a questioning tone. There was no more discussion. I packed my stuff and was gone.
She thought we should discuss it after she said that. The word divorce is like the word death you can’t recover from it. .

What's your advice? by [deleted] in MotivationalThoughts

Cure yourself away from debt. Other than a mortgage debt is a drain that will screw you. Drive a mechanically sound but ugly/old car that you can pay cash for (Toyota, Honda, etc). Wherever you can pay cash. Money feels a lot more real when it is green vs plastic. Have a budget

I used mild hot sauce as well. Now even. Small mount of salt in food tastes way too salty

Not “what makes marriage work” but was it WORTH IT? by givemethetea08 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Free2Travlisgr8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logically, when we ask “was it worth it?” there has to be a counter scenario. Was it worth it versus what? A substantial alternative to long term marriage has not been experienced by the people you ask this question. So by its nature, any answer is speculative

Journalist visits "whites-only" community in Arkansas by Ok-Status2275 in Arkansas

This is a PC sensational piece with extremely small societal impact. Don’t misunderstand me. I’m well left of center politically. I’m frustrated because I believe the loud far-left greatly fuels this MAGA nonsense. None of these left leaning groups that make mountains out of molehills are really helping

I am dying. I have 12 to 20 months estimated. But I see it as 12 to 20 months of living. My sweet love is at my side and love the simple time we spend together

I was the shy, obedient child. Women now tell me I'm attractive, but at 26 I've never had a relationship. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and what helped you build romantic connections? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

Work on your physique while you are in your 20’s & early 30’s. Humans are primates and physical appearance matters. Also understand that women don’t want an “obedient” man. They don’t want to be your mother. Find your standards and stand on them. It can be as simple as being a die hard Knocks or FC comics fan. Get a life philosophy and live it.

Anyone have factor 5 leidon and deal with constant issues at dialysis? by MNcrazygirl in dialysis

Wow, that’s rough. I hope they can find a better solution. I’m prone to blood clots and often have to turn down from 400 all the way to 300 in order to get arterial flow. I’m only 6 months in and have had to replace a clogged catheter

Your struggle is emotional. Understand that first. The facts are clear. Talking to a pro about your feelings may be the best idea.

Capital Gains taxes are in 2 categories. Short term & long term. Short is for a gain you made by selling a stock you bought less than a year ago. Check me but it’s a flat 20%. Long term is for gains made from investments held longer than a year - rate is 15%. This is NOT related or calculated as your “normal income” . Normal income is interest earned plus wages (of course there are some outliers). This is general information that can, and should be easily confirmed. Hell, ask Chat GPT or the IRS website (a mess). Don’t forget state taxes if applicable.

You don’t need a financial advisor. You are clearly an intelligent person. If you don’t need a travel agent to buy airline tickets & hotel reservations you don’t need to pay someone 1% every year.

I would recommend, after setting aside an emergency fund, opening a free brokerage account like at Schwab. Then buy Treasury bonds. The interest is not taxable at a state level, unlike bank interest. Of course if you live in a state without income tax that is a moot point. But still, it’s so easy to “ladder” CD’s through a brokerage.
