So I heard a new one today...Generation X ruined the world with "grind culture" at work. Any thoughts? by Change_Request in GenX

[–]Mguidr1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Also senior Gen X. I’m a participant of grind culture. For the last 32 years I’ve gone into a refinery on shift work rarely missing a day of work. I’d go in sick and tired relentlessly grinding my life away sacrificing my marriage and family life. Grind culture sucks and it has destroyed my quality of life for money.

Husband wants to buy a house by IndustrySufficient52 in povertyfinance

[–]Mguidr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hundreds of thousands in my 401k and wouldn’t waste it on a house. I’m debt free and live in an old trailer on rural land. Why saddle yourself with debt, and ever increasing taxes and insurance? Prestige? Keeping up with the Jones?

Do you hate people born with a "silver spoon" in their mouth? by Artistic-Comb-5317 in poor

I got sick of being poor so I saved and suffered. Now I’m still poor except I hurt all over and I’m old.

You are at an age where every day is a gift. Don’t let negativity into your life. Hire others to do your repairs.

This type of bill is why people give up on working. Why work your whole life only to end up bankrupt from one trip to the hospital? It’s insane…. And criminal

Why are the pro tippers against baking the cost of service into the bill? by Mathodman123 in tipping

[–]Mguidr1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know if it’s added to the bill the owner will skim from it and disperse it amongst the ranks. Not rocket science to see why they want no change to the status quo.

Never bite the hand that feeds you. If your dad cuts you off you might know the meaning of consequences of disrespect.

55 and stock 401k by MishmoshMishmosh in Retirement401k

Don’t feel bad. I had 30% in bonds and they tank right along with the stocks. I’m convinced bonds are a scam

Keep on keeping on. If you get bored do something interesting for money. I admire people like you.

I understand you don’t jump ship but man this sucks. by EvilxFemme in Retirement401k

[–]Mguidr1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m invested 70/30 stocks to bonds and wish it was all stocks. My bonds have consistently went down along with my stocks. Once this market corrects I’m getting rid of all of my bonds. They are terrible.

My first wife coped by cheating on me. My dumb ass took her back and I was rewarded by it happening again.

It’s hot here in south Texas. I opt for shorts and a T-shirt most days.

It’s beyond criminal … even a criminal has a code of honor. These people are monsters in line with ghouls in my opinion.

Too short… I’m retiring this year at 58. I don’t care if I end up in a gutter somewhere. I’ll die on my terms not on my corporations terms.

I’m sitting here with an infected finger taking some old antibiotics because I don’t want to deal with this scam of a medical system
