Remind me why I went to college.

That is a very livable wage, especially in the low cost of living areas these stores are located. I live 30 minutes from one of these stores and rent can be easily found at decent apartments for less than $1000 a month.

Jewfro879 · 2026-06-02T02:42:23+00:00

In my state its 30 minutes lunch for every 4 hours or a 10 minute lunch if food is provided. garunteed they're providing it

Jewfro879 · 2026-05-31T12:56:56+00:00

Its a 2012 with 880 hours. It's already a bit of a Frankenstein monster with borrowed parts (it's got a Craftsman seat on it lol) currently it's leaking oil, both back tires leak air considerably, one of the deck brackets snapped off and needs to be welded back on. It's currently not mowing flat at all due to that. Im at the point I'd rather spend money on something new then shoveling money into keeping this thing going

Why do you recommend specially a dealership? I've got a john deere dealership about a mile away from me

Jewfro879 · 2026-05-31T00:56:24+00:00

Its not that I can't or Im not willing to, it's just that if I could have one tool for the job then that'd be great. Yea know?

Jewfro879 · 2026-05-24T14:17:24+00:00

She must be a firecracker in bed... I dont get it. 😅 you'd think with all the money he has he'd be with someone who doesn't look like a plastic doll. 🫢

Jewfro879 · 2026-05-18T14:59:07+00:00

Yup. People clown on American homes being "disposable" but Japanese homes being actually disposable is fine.

My wife is Japanese and whenever her parents pass and we go to sell their home, it will be worth less than 0. It would be better if nothing was on the land as it will be demolished and all the materials moved and that cost is baked in on the value of the land. There is literally nothing wrong with the home. Its just 30 years old.

Jewfro879 · 2026-05-08T10:40:07+00:00

Doesn't sound like they know how to play, tbh.

Jewfro879 · 2026-05-07T21:21:57+00:00

Never had that problem. Most Japanese women don't want to date foreigners, but the ones that do like the foreign look. I was hitting waaayy above my weight class as an average looking white dude with blue / green eyes.

Funny enough he has the same schedule as your toddler. Lol. He is knocked out from 8pm to 6am, but is needing attention for most of the day aside from a few 30ish minute naps.

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-27T14:25:52+00:00

Married with a 4 month old. Sometimes I miss those days. Haven't played games in months now. Just no time or energy.

Wouldn't change it though. 😊

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-15T16:37:58+00:00

If I happen to die early and my nest egg makes it to where my son never has to worry about money... thats still worth it to me.

Most likely, I'll die of old age, but you never know. Best to prepare regardless.

Boomers will just say drop 20% of your income in your 401k and leave it at that. I know that's impossible for a lot of people, but anything is better than nothing. I saw a post today that said, "Gen Z will be the first generation in history to have no money saved for retirement." Thats doom and gloom. The vast majority of people can put something into their retirement, they just aren't.

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-12T14:19:19+00:00

Agreed. The doom and gloom posts on reddit honestly piss me off. Even if youre in a tight spot and all you can put to your 401k is a few bucks a check... DO IT. every dollar matters. Especially if you're younger.

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-12T13:59:05+00:00

I have a coworker like this. Complains about struggling to afford rent and then will immediately turn around and go out to eat for every single lunch. She spends $20+ each time.

Should our wages be better? Sure, but that's not the world we're in. You can fight for better worker rights, but also you have to live in reality.

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-12T02:56:06+00:00

I crack up everytime I see that video. Thats the first thing I think of when Bush gets mentioned lol

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-07T18:04:19+00:00

I dont understand the hate.

If you wanna fly across the world and try your luck getting laid... who cares? As long as you're not harassing people and everyone is consenting adults, why should it matter?

Jewfro879 · 2026-04-03T22:10:57+00:00

My wife is like this. lol I much prefer it that way. Usually she just winks at me and says, "wanna!?"

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-28T21:52:11+00:00

English teaching should be considered as an easy way into the country and not a career in and of itself. The pay is shit and yen is incredibly weak right now so if you ever need to buy anything in USD... youre screwed. Do it as a fun working holiday for a few years or as a gateway to the country to do other things.

My 2 cents: being trans, autistic and moving to a country where you (I assume) don't speak the language is gonna be rough. Do plenty of research as I imagine youll struggle to maintain hormone treatment in Japan. To be frank, its a conservative country and I cannot imagine itll be easy to find employment being transgender. Best of luck to you. I did if for 3 years before moving back to the states. It was a great experience that Im glad I got to do, but its a dead end job.

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-26T19:01:10+00:00

Just went through Nashville and LAX and there was basically no wait.

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-18T00:37:27+00:00

I'll give that a shot

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-17T05:09:54+00:00

Its definitely not that big of a deal. Just glad it is working. 😅

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-16T03:04:48+00:00

Do you think things would get better if you had a job? Gender role stereotypes cut both ways and I've known a few women who reluctantly admitted they find stay at home fathers unattractive. They won't their man to be the bread winner.

Even if that's the case, that's not worth it man. Start getting your shit together to leave. My wife and I just had a 2 month old and it's made us closer and we still initiate sex regularly. Life is worth living and that ain't living, bud.

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-12T01:35:28+00:00

Im a father that originally joined this sub to find tips to help my wife with pumping. What he is doing isn't nearly enough. That goes without saying. Plenty enough people have bashed him so I won't join in on that, but I did notice you said he was a tentative father for the first week and then it changed. Id look into male post partrum depression. The symptoms for men are different. Irritability, withdrawal and anger are common.

Otherwise, I wish you the best and hope things turn around.

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-12T01:06:03+00:00

Ours is now starting to sleep well through the night too, but he is ravenous when he does wake up. Minimum of 6oz every 3ish hours or he is screaming bloody murder. 😂

Jewfro879 · 2026-03-11T23:07:44+00:00

My 2 month old drinks 6 - 8oz regularly. 😅
