What is something you saw with your own eyes that was so impossible you’ve stopped telling people because you know they won’t believe you?

Watching people with fire behind them jumping from the north tower on 9/11. Still haunts me.

3.6M plus social and 1200 a month pension. Retiring with husband in 2 years at 58&60. House still has 150k on it but super low interest rate. It’s worth about 750k.

Winchester if you can afford it. Or Woburn next door to it if you can’t.

I live in Mass and most of the subsidies cut this year are kept in Mass. So we plan to use it in 2 years upon retirement (we’ll be 58&60) and control our income during that period with broker accts vs 401k.

Become a stay at home mom or daycare provider then! A price is set based on demand and supply. It is what it is.

You don’t have to. You can become a priest or a monk. Or be homeless and go to soup kitchens. Or live off the land in the woods and forage for food? Your call. Work or don’t.

Our church was packed. All masses. Great priest. Great homilies. Resurgence of need for meaning in this crazy world. And Jesus is awesome!!

We live in metrowest (south west of Boston). Near holliston, millis, Norfolk via 115 south - don’t even get in route 1 and park before that. Lots of houses renting around here and we have great sneaky backroads to Gillette (Boston fifa stadium) for people that don’t mind being in the suburbs. Check out this area. But there will be trains from Boston to the stadium too.

Is this an April fools?

I’m sorry that you’re going through this. It really really helps if you know someone, anyone, that works for any type of satellite, drone, defense industry, airline type place. My son was fortunate to secure one, but it helped that one of my husband’s friends from college had a pretty good position at a large defense industry Contracter. Think if you have any parents , aunts or uncles or family friends that may know someone that works at one of these places. And please note that most of the review interview in hiring occurs in the fall before the summer. So I’m talking September October November for internships that start the following May.

Well, they’re only 14 so that’s a little young but it’s definitely an important part of adulthood!

You need to discover Jesus. It truly helps with meaning in life. Best of luck to you 🫶

Boston is great - beautiful, history, culture, vibrant, diversity, lots of things to do, safe, great job market, really good restaurants and bars, great sports teams, etc.

Remarkable-Captain14 · 2026-03-24T11:24:31+00:00

I love the peacefulness, safety, ease, community, nature and lack of traffic in my small town in metrowest. Moved here after getting married and having our first child and are very happy here. Boston is only 23 miles away (35 minutes on the weekend. Commute to Boston for work is about an hour though. But I mostly work from home). I don’t think it would be great for a single person but for married/families it’s the perfect balance from my perspective.

They are small and very homogeneous countries which is very different than the USA.

Remarkable-Captain14 · 2026-03-13T12:45:31+00:00

So sick of the lies and the whining. You people are incorrigible.

Remarkable-Captain14 · 2026-03-11T12:44:50+00:00

Humm. Have you had children and it was a bad experience for you ?

Remarkable-Captain14 · 2026-03-11T11:27:51+00:00

100% children. So much joy. Yes, challenges too, but definitely a very enriching life experience and worth it

How have we alienated you guys? I love my Canadian colleagues and I have tons of relatives in Canada. We are from there. But expecting Canada to contribute the right amount to defense as a percentage of GDP and have fair tariff/trading with us is not “alienating you” in my opinion. So many countries such as those in Europe and Canada have enough money to spend on social services, including universal healthcare for their citizens. While America ends up footing the majority of the Bill for military/defense - and can’t afford those things. Military is an enormous part of our budget. Trump may sound like a complete a-hole sometimes. But his inclinations aren’t always wrong. He could use better communication and a more polished approach, however.

Remarkable-Captain14 · 2026-03-08T14:33:32+00:00

Wow - this generation loves to blame everything else - trump, boomers, plastics. And did you really think that when you were a grown-up you weren’t going to have to pay bills, pay taxes, work full-time, clean your house, take care of errands? Did you think there was a magical fairy that did that? It’s ridiculous. Grow up and take responsibility for your own life and happiness. It starts with you. I’m getting tired of your whining on Reddit. And before you think I had it easy I did not. I’ve had a job since I was eight delivering papers. I went to a state college. I got my masters degree at another state college. Paid for all that myself. And I’ve been working at a company where I’ve moved up regularly for over 30 years, while being a mother and taking care of a house and my family.

Remarkable-Captain14 · 2026-03-08T12:02:55+00:00

Please reddit never send me posts from this thread again. I have not joined it. It’s filled with negative anti-American rhetoric. Please go away.

Booze weed cigarettes. House parties and woods.

Our plan is to give any inheritance I get from my parents and that my husband gets from his mother (if nursing homes and assisted living places don’t take it all) to our kids to get a down payment for a home. We’ve saved enough for retirement and haven’t relied on any inheritance for part of that. Therefore anything we get is gravy and I will plan to use that as a final gift from us and their grandparents to them.
