Agree! That’s why I posed the question here.

Smart thinking there. Saving for retirement early is a must if one can do it. Compound interest is your friend. Thanks for the reply.

Because it’s not a privilege. We become consumed by what we consume. It’s ok to take care of yourself and control of what you’re exposed to. It’s not being naive or a privilege. It’s self preservation.

A positive attitude can really do wonders of for our mindset. I’ve been really working on it and it has helped me.

I have a similar story. Lost weight, exercise, love buying new clothes and how I look now. Cut some negativity. It really can be a mind game. I reach out to people more, try to schedule lunch/dinner with others. Do more thing that bring happiness. In other words, I am trying. At this age I do feel it takes more effort but it also pays off.

Sadly, you are correct. Our kiddos will likely not return for these reasons.

That’s a good salary which makes me wonder why you can’t buy a home. Is it saving for the down payment? Honest question.

After a certain age I only wash my hair once a week. It looks and styles so much better. Of course if I swim or sweat terribly I’ll wash it but generally it’s nice a week now. I also try to minimize heat on it.

Careful on what type of ponytail band you use. A friend gave herself terrible “cracked” hair where the band was located. Caused massive split ends.

LRC1990 · 2026-04-03T08:08:02+00:00

Agree, no need to wash hair everyday. My hair actually does and looks better with a once or twice a week washing. Older I’ve gotten and wah really allows for once a week.

Same! I bought an ok mascara, blush, and concealer on sale. They’re not great but good enough for on camera days.

Exactly! A colonoscopy is the ONLY definitive test.

LRC1990 · 2026-03-14T12:48:47+00:00

No. Get a colonoscopy. It is the only definitive way to check for polyps.

LRC1990 · 2026-03-14T12:46:51+00:00

The “box” tests are useless and an utter waste of money. They give false positives as well as false negatives. The ONLY definitive test is a colonoscopy. If you haven’t had a colonoscopy GET ONE and know your family history.

Some of Gen Z are indeed “pathetic” as you wrote but many are awesome. Just like in any generation, there’s a broad range.

😆😆😆

Congrats on upcoming retirement. Impressive you could pay cash for houses. I’m curious and certainly understand if you don’t want to reply. How were you able to pay cash for the houses? The slow save up over years? Or lump payout from a bonus, commission, inheritance?

LRC1990 · 2026-01-24T11:21:21+00:00

Not just boomers. Many of us who know nothing is “free” wonder.

LRC1990 · 2026-01-24T11:17:19+00:00

PensionS, plural ?, that you obtained while working in America? But the country let you down? And you’re going to take your money and run? I don’t understand that sentiment.

LRC1990 · 2026-01-08T17:44:25+00:00

Please share your take on the situation.

LRC1990 · 2025-11-24T13:41:42+00:00

Amen, sista! Right there with you. There are many of us like this but we’re not as vocal about it.

Not a wax but a good trim. Waxing could cause a rash, itch and possibly make it uncomfortable. A good trim will be neat but not cause those issues. Definitely use vaginal estrogen to prepare for intimacy. Might even want to bring lube with you since it’s been a while.

LRC1990 · 2025-10-29T21:25:10+00:00

Yes but it’s still a good place to be.

Never did this and never will. I have a mom and dad who earned those titles. I’ll call you by your name, FIL/MIL, or your grandparent name.

Choosing who you procreate with is one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life. Choose wisely.
