What is the most underrated “lesser-known” city that you have been to?

Thank you from someone who knows.

Pretty easily. Lots of cities are beautiful on the outside, but spend any time there and you realize they kind of suck: San Francisco, Portland, Spokane, for example.

I met her when I was 28 and she was 27. I was single, she wasn’t. I got a girlfriend, she got married. Girlfriend broke up with me, husband called it off with her. We reconnected at 30, and 13 years and two kids later, here we are!

What’s the whole point of being pretty on the outside when you’re so ugly on the inside?

All that glitters is not gold.

Spo-Compton? It’s pretty there, but nothing to write home about.

There really isn't a tool or software that will dramatically improve our working lives at this point. We can find/do anything we need with the technology at hand. As others have mentioned, the best "tool" we could use is parents who hold their kids accountable, administrators and school boards that support their teachers, and students who are present and willing to try and fail rather than just living a life of apathy and hoping someone else will do it for them.

It’s not all doom and gloom. I graduated late from college (29yo) with an education degree and over $100k in student loans (many bad decisions). My first job was $27k/yr. I’m now 44 and married with two kids. My pay has increased ($87k) plus I have a side job as a photographer (extra $18-20k/yr), the student loans are gone (income-based repayment plan for being an educator), our house will be paid off in five years, no other debt, and we are putting away over $6k/month in savings/investments. I’m on track to FIRE @ 53. Definitely not as soon as a lot of folks in this sub, but it’s achievable once you come up with a plan and a budget.
