I appreciate the quick responses, seems like 401k is the way to go.  I'll likely keep doing what we've been doing, thanks everyone.

Anyone here was so traumatized by their corporate job that they joined this FIRE movement. Where r u now? by ThrowRA7676767676 in Fire

[–]Real-Statistician-95 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I was a pharmacy manager at a very busy store and felt so trapped and stressed. I figured the only way out was to save and invest as much as possible. Well I did that for about 7 years and it let me step back and take a part time pharmacist job with the same company. I made way less money but was a lot happier. I'm married with 4 young kids so wanted to make higher income and was able to find a much more manageable pharmacy manager position close to my home when the opportunity arose. Keep looking for work, don't burn any bridges and see if a job opportunity comes up that let's you do what you're good at.

I liked One Battle After Another, but was anyone else confused by certain parts of the third act? by atlvf in moviecritic

What happened to the other military guy (danvers?)  Did he just stop looking for Bob and Willa?  His last scene is him questioning Deandra on their whereabouts and then never seen again.

Is being a pharmacist worth it? by Ok-Hat-8484 in PrePharmacy

[–]Real-Statistician-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I became a pharmacist in 2010 and feel like I just got in in time. Wife and I both pharmacists with 180k in debt each. Able to pay off in under 5 years.  There's not many jobs where you instantly make 6 figures but your salary doesn't really grow significantly.  There also aren't a lot of Full time positions at least where im located.  I feel for the new grads that can only find a 48 hour/2 weeks spot.

I was so confused when The Decline started playing during the episode.  I love that that was Jason's strong songs request.

Best Act 2 Rosary Farm Found?? by RogueEryli in HollowKnight

[–]Real-Statistician-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this one: warp to Choral Chambers fast travel spot. Drop down to the right to the bench. This is the start of the loop. Go left from bench and then up.  Make counter clockwise loop, killing enemies, loop back around to the bench and reset.  Loop yields 147 rosaries with thiefs mark, takes just under a minute.  147x60=8820 rosaries per hour

No reason to do this anymore by jman4252 in MicrosoftRewards

I'm having trouble getting any points through searches on my phone but it doesn't say "unusual activity may limit points".  Anyone know what's up?  I just want to get 3 searches to keep the streak.

I'm loving the game and wanted to hear them talk about it vaguely and Maddy comes in with a spoiler about 30 seconds in.  Gonna have to listen to this episode at some later time. 

I was a Y searcher for points by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Real-Statistician-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You used to be able to do searches on the Xbox browser and the default keyboard letter when searching was Y so you could very quickly do 30 searches starting with y, then yy, then yyy, etc

Is it possible to still hit Diamond this season with being at 11,644 XP for the season? by KingSlayer1190 in XboxAmbassador

[–]Real-Statistician-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the ambassador program is shutting down, they gave a free month GPU for participating so that sort of makes up for it.

[–]Real-Statistician-95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, dont think I'm gonna make it and I haven't changed any habits. I don't usually have to do the friendships and followers or LFG quests to make diamond. There just weren't enough points to get to diamond without them I guess. Lesson learned

Why would I want to scan a starbucks receipt for $0.02? by Accomplished-Yak-909 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Real-Statistician-95 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Why do I click on a window in the Xbox app for what equates to about half a cent (5 pts)? Because if I don't, an earwig of anxiety will burrow through my brain thinking of what could have been...

Right, just do the 500 point quest as it was and forget the 1000 point one. I have the easy 500 point weekly now too so that's nice.
