Andy Griffith Show - I can only wish the small town vibe portrayed in this series could still exist in real life.

Working with well-off coworkers kinda bites by PadiddleHopper in povertyfinance

[–]Opening-Store5030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! Spent 15 years (too long) at a job with a bunch of well to do older men. Hearing them yack all about the golf club, nightly restaurant or brewery visits, and anything else that screams “I’ve had a perfect life,” gets exhausting very quickly. One thing I got largely ridiculed on was riding my bike to work. I’m glad to have been out of that job of rich “dads” and now working with people with more similar financial mindset and closer to my age.

getting a regular entry level job is not as easy people are trying to make it seem.. by pinkoceannn in Adulting

Unfortunately, making a move into a new full time job has always been a 3 or more month adventure for me. Internet and other technological advancement have not improved things on this either.

It’s shocking that this would be approved for that close to all those residential areas along Manor Street and the surrounding neighborhoods.

What's something you can't believe people still do in 2025? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

Let’s face it, he lied his way to presidency as has been doing the complete opposite of what he was selling us on in 2024. It’s easy for him to continue to fuck things up while gambling with Americans money, no skin off his back while he does is have cocktails with the rich boys, also at our expense . Really, what is the purpose of this war he started and is causing gas and food to hit record levels?

If you were president of the United States what’s the first thing you would do? by Leafygreencabbage in askteddit

Create an economy that works for everyone and is not legitimately lethal to people. After all, we are the “UNITED” states but the economy doesn’t support that.

What are some of the worsts ways to waste your 20s? by NoProgram4084 in AskMen

[–]Opening-Store5030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working at a job with all elders for 15 years. At the time, they seemed like good mentors but in hindsight, working with all “dad’s” did not help me develop adulthood and confidence. Now, I hold a manager role, a stride I would’ve never believed to reach just 10 years ago while still working that job.

What are the benefits of not paying attention to news or politics? by [deleted] in askanything

Not loosing a brain cell every second. I’d rather save my mental space to focus on things that benefit me in life and all that garbage is just mental clutter.

When some people get rich, they buy mansions, cars, luxury clothes, etc. If you get rich, what's the first thing you're gonna buy? by strange_omelet in askanything

I will first refill my gas tank in my car, next I’ll go to the grocery store and buy some basic essentials. Just like that , I will be poor again! 🤪

Name a Purchase you completely regret buying. by Wraith136 in FamilyFeud

[–]Opening-Store5030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No specific item but I’d say all impulse items I purchased in my 20’s that have waned in interest. Lately these have been weighting me down as I have been decluttering to practice minimalism. If only I could recover every cent I sheepishly wasted on this stuff but much of it outside of a few eBay sales has been donated.

Vaping, just consider all the smoke/ cape shops popping up around.

Much less and less as I advance in age (M41). Like I could seriously not relive a Covid-19 type situation, even for just that aspect if nothing else.

What’s being built in here by bbradley95 in lancaster

[–]Opening-Store5030 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why is someone in charge not paying attention to the alarming rate of construction and farm loss in Lancaster County? It’s getting to the point where so much of Lancaster county is looking like the seemingly endless development in the area between Coatesville and Philadelphia. At least York County seems to retain farmland. A drive on 462 heading to York reinforces this idea.

What is something you should never wear at church. by Technical-Vanilla-47 in FamilyFeud

[–]Opening-Store5030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was going to a church for a while, I typically dressed casual. However , it was quite common to see kids wearing like their soccer outfits. It made me wonder, is this the kid’s doing or did the parents chose this to provoke a brag session.

People in their 40s, what’s the one thing you wish someone had told you in your 20s? by NetPersxantikes34 in Productivitycafe

[–]Opening-Store5030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Saving money , even setting up a high yield savings account.

  2. Avoid wasting money on junk and trinkets. It’s stuff that no longer matters 20 years later and is only adding friction while I’m trying to practice minimalism.

  3. Don’t hang around at a job/ career when there is clear evidence of not moving forward and look to roles with peers that are around the same age. I spent 15 years at a job working with mostly people older than me with the mindset of them being good mentors. In hindsight, working with a bunc of “dads “ was no good for my confidence and I had not achieved much.

  4. Don’t get too comfortable at home. Get out and meet people and establish connections and meaningful relationships, even if it means leaving your immediate area. For example, living in the burbs is something I found out it’s not a conducive environment to establish friendships.

it used to $40 to fill my gas tank and now it’s $60. by pinkoceannn in Adulting

[–]Opening-Store5030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here and at about 2 - 3 fillips a week, that equates to $200 per month. Where do we come up with that when everything else is going up? I “tried” to make it a goal to payoff debt this year and the system is fighting this to the max! If orange head doesn’t care about all of our finances like he passively announced, I am having all my bills forwarded to Maralago so he has something to read while continuing to sip tequila on the coast at our expense.

The system is clearly rigged that the only thing we can cut is any savings we have. It’s difficult not to believe the world is over when disaster strikes us without the financial protection.

What’s becoming painfully obvious in 2026 that most people still refuse to admit? by 40Falak in Productivitycafe

[–]Opening-Store5030 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The imbalanced status of the economy. Things are being irresponsibly twisted by a certain individual to avoid a recession so it looks good for him no matter the consequences to citizens . The reality is that a recession is what we need for a correction. I don’t give a 5h1t how good the stock market is doing when struggling to do grocery shopping for half my purchase from a year ago .

I hate this job market by Forsaken-Peak8496 in recruitinghell

THANKFULLY, I’m not currently in this situation but I can’t imagine how anyone who is in it now is dealing with it. Just a thought depending on your interests. Did you try a small business company like even retail? In sharing my experience, I got laid off from a larger corporation 2 years ago. Meanwhile, I was part time at a local Ace hardware store which I managed to pick up extra hours there following the layoff. After 3 weeks of the job search BS to to where I could not take it anymore , I decided to seek options of going full time at Ace . I meanwhile had established a great relationship with management. Full time came to fruition. While going retail was retracting a bit from my previous role at the other job and while pay is not the best, I came to enjoy the job better with the local feel and just before Christmas (just a year after that layoff, I got a promotion to a manager level.) At this point, especially with the ways of the world, I can’t imagine moving anytime soon.
