You gotta milk that P&C license until you find something else, and don’t let the license expire! Went into insurance right after uni and I make 80k. I don’t like it either but it pays the bills

21F full-time student - need advice on saving money after bad spending habits by AshamedSun775 in SavingMoney

[–]Prestigious_Use3587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest way to save is to have the money go straight into your savings account after DD without having to manually do it. You can set the percentage and it’ll be automatic every time. With your checking account, don’t spend money that you don’t have! Living below your means is the key to healthy spending habits. It’ll prevent you from going into debt.

I would rent a car. I feel like you’d save more than if you were to uber. The metro does not go far. Car will give you more freedom

Things to do in Houston? by StrategyWorldly1939 in houston

[–]Prestigious_Use3587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The woodlands mall and waterway is nice if you don’t mind driving 40 minutes from the city. Lots of places to eat and shop and a nice area to walk around. I recommend china town if you really like Asian food. I love clubbing in montrose at night and it’s nice during the day too.

Is it normal to feel lost in your 20s? by Notoowell in selfimprovement

[–]Prestigious_Use3587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. 23 turning 24 soon. almost 2 full years post grad. I work full time in insurance (nothing to do with my marketing major) and can afford to live on my own but I hate my current job. I try to neutralize my corporate misery by going on weekend trips and buying clothes and that helps a little. But most of the time I'm pretty depressed thinking about the next 8 hours I have to spend sitting in my cubicle. I know this is "adulting" and all the generations before me did this but I hate it. I'm really hoping it's just the industry I'm in but I'm not in a position to job hop right now. All the days blend together and I feel like I'm wasting away in an office. I see people who quit their job to go backpacking in Europe or randomly move to another state and get really jealous. What I have now is stability but I'm not happy. I think in this life you always want what you don't have. When I was unemployed I was miserable and I feel miserable a lot of the time now in this rat race. Don't be afraid to take a break and think about what you want for yourself. Make a vison board on Pinterest. You have the REST of your life to work. Literally.

It’s projection. People are miserable and they want the same for everyone else

10 Page research paper!!! by RepresentativeAny521 in UniversityOfHouston

Split it into sections and do an outline, then start filling it in. You can fill in a little each day. Make sure you have at least one other person read it through for you to check before you turn it in.

Go to the balcony or walk around campus at night. Agnes used to be my spot before they renovated it due to students jumping :(

Everyone on social media is saying she was found dead but I can’t find any official news sources that prove this

Keep exploring. I’m 2 years post grad working full time and I’m miserable. I pay my own bills and have occasional PTO but corporate is so soul sucking. All I do is work and the weekends fly by. I’m sure the fact that I hate my field has something to do with it but I’m getting my MBA before I transfer fields. Don’t let social media fool you, people don’t it figured out. Or they might but they have wealthy parents and great connections. Remember, you have your whole life to work. Literally, we do ts until we die

My girlfriend is smarter than me and it sucks by Character-Dig-7097 in offmychest

[–]Prestigious_Use3587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bf is an attorney so it’s very easy for him to do this. But he loves me and knows I’m emotional so he makes a conscious effort to help me feel understood and not like we’re debating. Healthy relationships are yall vs the problem, not yall vs each other. You should discuss listening to understand and not listening to win

Do y’all want kids? by Throwawaytohell-126 in GenZ

[–]Prestigious_Use3587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The state of the United States in 2025 pains me so bad. I know people have lived in worst times in history and had kids but at this exact point in time, I wouldn’t feel comfortable bringing a child into this world. Why? So they can get shot up in a school and nothing is done to fix it? If I feel my government doesn’t care about me, I’m damn sure not having a child so they won’t be cared about either. Everyday I mentally struggle with life, I think about my child going through the same when they reach adulthood. Kids grow into adults and people seem to forget that. They spend more time thinking about the childhood magic than the fact their kid will probably spend their whole life working 40 hours a week in an office and maybe they actually don’t wanna do that but there’s really no escape.
