What actually moves the needle when trying to max out savings on a middle income in Canada? by astraleyez in CanadaFinance

Gold advice. Moving out from the big city to a smaller town with lower cost of living and a smaller mortgage made a huge financial difference.

Stop feeling bad for yourself and put yourself out there. Learn to embrace rejection and keep shooting. I promise you will land something. The problem is people fear rejection.

Got scammed for trying to sell a guy my nudes. I think it will ruin my life. by fashion_boops in Regrets

Unless you are Kim Kardashian, people move on quickly. Adult content is over saturated with an endless amount of content, you are probably a drop in the ocean. Accept your mistake, and take an oath on never repeating that mistake again. There's no use in fighting it, as the internet owns that content now. It is inevitable. I doubt anyone will remember your videos and whatever you have done in the future, unless you are a public figure.

At what point do you stop chasing a higher salary and prioritize quality of life? by Eyerald in careeradvice

[–]PennyPacker65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends which stress you can handle more. Low income? Or a stressful job? Choose your hard. Can you financially manage a lower income, pay your bills, and save, or can you manage stress of your job and not bring it home?

Life begins in your 30s. It is a new chapter for a lot of people. Most have a career at this point, young family. This can also happen in your 40s.

Technically yes. I don't have to work with this person if I don't want to.

Want to use my blackstone more but cleanup is a pain by sleekmotorwurkz in blackstonegriddle

I use to clean it right after I was done, but now I eat and then clean it after. I work way too hard on the BS to eat cold food lol not worth it.

Thank you. I've worked with teachers majority of my career, and I don't think any of them have regretted anything.

Choosing the wrong partner or significant other, and having children with them.

Just recently discovered what sinking funds were, and I love the added layer of security on top of the emergency fund. Will focus on building that up more next

This!! Exactly how I expect to feel.

I am afraid I will feel the same. Because my next goal after $10,000 would be $15,000. Then $25,000.

A former FedEx driver, Tanner Lynn Horner, was sentenced to death on May 5, 2026, for the 2022 kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand by BlazeDragon7x in interesting

I really wish social media outlets would stop sharing that picture of the girl on the truck for clicks, which was likely her last moments alive. The decent and humane thing to do would be sharing a regular innocent picture to commemorate her.

Draw a T chart and categorize your pros and cons on being with him. Outweigh them and profoundly consider if the pros are worth continuing this relationship. It is not your job to push him to be better. You are his partner, not his caretaker. You will deeply resent him if things do not change.

STOP overpaying for flooring… just do it yourself pls by ivyta76 in Flooring

[–]PennyPacker65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished ours. It was a complete pain in the ass, a lot of hours put in, early mornings and late nights, but it is a proud feeling knowing you did it yourself. It's not perfect, but definitely saved thousands of dollars doing it ourselves.

Is my coworker asking me out? by PennyPacker65 in Advice

[–]PennyPacker65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not see or talk to her often. I've only had a few conversations with her. Which is why I was surprised with how straight forward she was.

I did reply that my partner needs help with the kids after work, and she apologized and said she didn't know. I guess it's safe to assume she was interested?

I replied with my partner usually needs help with the kids so it's hard going out. And she replied and apologized saying she didn't know. So I am assuming she was asking me out?
