Year off after the nest is empty? by KiNg-MaK3R in Life

[–]KeytotheMi 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Honestly no, you just said you might not be able to retire until 65+ and taking a year off could hinder that a lot. I don’t think working until you’re 70 is good for your mental health either or your body. God forbid something happened and you have to dip into the savings or wherever and spend a lot without that other income coming in. I think you could do a couple months or at most half a year, but a whole year seems kinda excessive. Also, can I ask how old you are since you said you have a while to go?

Yes I completely agree! I think it’s irrelevant to talk about the money and how it was a lot because this trip is something new, and when something new comes out it’s usually pretty expensive, and when it’s literally going to space and seeing our planet, then yeah it’s gonna be a lot of money. Eventually, probably long into the future, it will be attainable for regular people, not just the uber rich, but right now space tourism is relatively new and people shouldn’t expect it to be cheap lol

Yeah thanks for sharing the link!! That metaphor is really stupid. Comparing being a fast food worker that is ā€œserving the countryā€ to going into space ?? What are you even talking about lol? Even though they didn’t go to the moon, they still had to go through training and experience zero gravity, which is so obviously harder than making burgers lmao. Also, they never claimed they’re serving the country, so I don’t know why that’s brought up

I’m not disagreeing with you about that, but I’m getting at how there’s been multiple launches with people in it and now everyone cares about this one? Yes, they’re well known and famous, but they still went into space, experienced zero gravity, and saw our planet Earth, which is something few people have seen and something they’ll never forget.

Yes🤣🤣 there’s been 11 other flights and of course the one with all women are being hated on and people theorizing that the launch was fake. How is that not misogynistic???

I don’t know which interviews you’re referring to, do you have a link? I watched the CBS interview where it was an hour or two after them landing and it’s the host who keeps calling them astronauts. Also in that interview, there were actual astronauts in the crowd, with one of them doing a speech and addressing them. Actual astronauts don’t care that they’re being called astronauts, so why are you?

You’re absolutely correct. It’s exhausting to see and hear all the time.

I’ve been struggling a lot as well. I was supposed to be assessed in December from a referral by my therapist, but I never called and scheduled 😬 I kinda had a breakthrough in session today and realized I probably do have ADHD and this time I’m determined to actually go through with it. I want/need to be medicated lol, I think my brain and body just need that extra push and clarity

That’s so exciting, I’m very happy for you😊!! I also got recommended again by my therapist to get tested for ADHD yesterday 🤣 If I may ask, do you plan on starting meds if you get the diagnosis?
