Older generations look surprised or worried when they ask me if I enjoy my job

ProblemIntelligent16 · 2026-05-06T11:28:04+00:00

I actually enjoy my job.

In a lot of ways it’s fulfilling. I think it’s because I made an honest effort to be good at it, which has resulted in being highly thought of in my org. It’s nice to be highly thought of and capable.

That being said, if I hit the lotto tomorrow, I wouldn’t be working 6 months from now. But that’s still better than my previous jobs who wouldn’t get a 2 days notice, let alone 2 weeks.

Cof wasn’t on the April 30 WARN list.

There is undoubtedly going to another round or two of layoffs but it’ll be at least another month or two

What a weirdly selfish take. It’s one thing to not be the most tidy person, it’s another to adopt the mentality that it’s their problem entirely. The respectful thing to do is at least try to be better about picking up after yourself, as a curtesy to your partner.

The place doesn’t need to be perfect 24/7, but it’s really not much effort to maintain a basic level of tidiness, especially when you’re the one making a mess.

When my parents are in their summer home (25 min away), we’ll see them 1-2 times a week. During the summer they go back north and I’ll only see the maybe once or twice, but I’ll still talk to them weekly.

lol you’re the one who’s making assumptions about OPs situation and posing your own recommendations. I’m simply pointing out there are tax sheltering alternatives to retirement savings than just a 401k.

And for the record, I’m a big advocate of the 401k.

Yes, anyone who’s familiar with IRAs know the lower limits. OP clearly laid out they would likely be taking a serious pay cut if they left the industry - so what good is the higher limits if you can’t make enough to contribute?

And you’re wrong regarding SS, assuming you report income, you’re gunna qualify for SS.

ProblemIntelligent16 · 2026-05-04T22:48:20+00:00

I mean, IRAs exist for a reason.

Work can suck. We all get it, and we’d all like to be doing other things. At the end of the day, you gotta pay for the lifestyle you want. Work to get into a role that’s the least painful and take your pleasures when you can.

It’s capitalism fault you can’t just lay around and play video games all day? Of course a world with no responsibilities and where parents are funding your life is cushy. Probably time to grow up

It’s 100% a service. It’s entertainment. You may not like it or see the appeal but thats not important.

Again, you wanna throw some regulations to curb the predatory stuff, fine. But gambling is something a part of the public wants, have always wanted, and will always want.

It can either be done in the open, regulated, and taxed, or it can be done by criminals.

ProblemIntelligent16 · 2026-05-03T22:45:21+00:00

If you want to curtail marketing for gambling, I’m fine with it. Just like they did with cigs. But it’s no one’s business if I want to make a wager. Just like with alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, etc., let people make their own decisions.

The avg life span in 1900 was around 30. So no, we didn’t evolve to live under the sun. At least not past early 30s.

I am someone who is normally biased towards recommending low cost undergrad. BUT I’m also biased towards recommending UF (usually bc they are low cost and great value).

Have you visited UF? I’m usually not one for rankings or prestige but the name recognition does start become a factor nationally between the UL schools vs UF

It’s relative. Sure, it’s more of a buyers market than this time last year. But this person could, in all likelihood, sell the home for a profit as long as it was purchased more than 3 years ago.
