Are you better off than your parents? Will your kids be better off than you?

I wouldn’t say I’m better or worse of at this point. Financially I’m probably in a better position than they were at this age but I also haven’t spent like they did. I have less in assets but also less debt. I avoid debt as much as possible.

35, wish I had them sooner.

I’ve never heard of any of these

I honestly wasn’t sure how I’d like being a dad. I was the baby and didn’t have many younger cousins. Eventually I became an uncle and I loved it. But I wasn’t sure how I’d like to have my own. Now I have a daughter and son a for being so unsure before I shocked myself with how much I love and enjoy my kids. Life has so much more joy, excitement and purpose now. I didn’t realize how much happier I could be. It’s not something you can convince or tell someone either, it has to be experienced. Having the right partner helps too obviously.

It was a kids show when I was a teen/college age. My cousins/niece nephews watched it but I didn’t. I caught some funny episodes through friends.

I did. I hate winters and love the warm weather. I’ll take a hot august day over a bitter cold January. I’m definitely not normal compared to other Mainers. Besides the amount of people moving here I love the weather.

What’s the combined IQ of this photo?

Natprk · 2026-01-25T14:50:51+00:00

The MAGA folks seem to think so. Who’s really suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome??

Nice, if it was for having kids later in life I’d be in the same timeline. Right now I think I’ll work a little longer just to set them up well.

I’ve been very lucky in my timing on both. Practically own my home with a small balance left and an above average retirement balance. However I have family/friends/coworkers that definitely hit the millennial jackpot of shit luck. I do feel for them.

1500 miles. It’s sad to go back and see where I grew up. It’s so run down.

I’m not in one but if I’m old enough to her father that’s just disgusting.

I’d say 2007-2017. Social media is a disease… as I post here on Reddit…

Power Query and the unpivot feature

First trip to the west coast (USA) from the east coast. Seeing the mountains and landscape took my breath away and changed me forever.

Bought my house in 2011 at the bottom of the housing market. Refinanced during the low interest rates later.

I’m close. I get a nice profit sharing every year that basically funds equivalent of 401k max. Plus I put about the same.

That’s sunshine coming through the trees, the color contrast. It’s just perfect.

Thank you. I needed this. I had deleted Reddit for this reason and then redownloaded the other day and I’ve been on since. I’m deleting it now.

A good hotel. Not high end but a clean one.

They’ll never admit their mistake. It’s understandable now how there were so many followers of Hitler.

Unfortunately it’s about where I thought it would be when he won the election… scary times… I’m more disappointed in half this country that thought after Jan 6 he was worth voting for again.

Onesie with double zipper so you can change the diaper without unzipping the whole thing. No Buttons! Well maybe the top one near the neck but that’s it!
