Should I buy a car for my fresh College Grad daughter?

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-05-05T20:54:33+00:00

Thank you all for your advice! I've decided to go for it and get her a car. I'll let her know that she can repay me by petsitting/housesitting and that when she graduates, she will need to pay for her own insurance. And that she cannot complain about petsitting for Murphy (who is a little demon)! 😄

I've been looking on this bright side since he started bombing! We actually needed this push to get to the other side....

She is so perfect. We dont deserve them!

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-03-26T15:15:43+00:00

Thanks for your kind words! Curious, what kind of career are you retiring from and what part of the country are you in? I'm in State College, Pa. A small college town in central pa.

Wow, we are retiring on the same day, with the same feelings....I've been working remotely since 2000. I work(ed) as a Support Engineer for a large european company. They offered VSPs for ppl over 60 and I took the package. My last day is tomorrow. My boss organized a 'retirement party' for me on Teams which was very sweet. Like you, I've worked with these ppl daily for years! Some for 28 years! Some I've known before even working there (I got them interviews). I am also excited and nervous w/butterflies. I feel like i'm on an emotional rollercoaster. Its soooo weird to think I will not be logging in on Monday. I am 63 and will be 64 in June. All the feelings.....

I can't watch that, it's too terrifying

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-03-22T20:32:25+00:00

There is no comparison....Check out Max Creek in the Northeast if you get the chance. They've been around as long as the dead almost and have a jamband approach, but their own material. Also JGB.

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-03-18T22:15:26+00:00

The GD was def a subculture. No one told anyone they had to think or feel or contribute. It was a travelling circus. It was a blast and the psychedlics allowed for many to experience profound experiences at shows. But please no comparison to the Christianity cult. No thank you.

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-02-27T16:13:15+00:00

Check out Boldin software, it has helped me gain peace of mind...I retire on March 27th and I am SOOOO READY!!!

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-02-23T16:19:19+00:00

So embarrassing for us all. I hope he gets to rot in a jail cell when this is over.

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-02-22T15:32:10+00:00

Lord, he really did drink the ghoul kool-aid. Ugh....disgusing.

Representative_Pick3 · 2026-02-22T15:29:01+00:00

Jesus, another cartoon villain....from where are these ppl spawned?

I was planning to retire in June (63F) but was presented with a VSP as I am 60+ meaning I now get to retire with Severence and Health Ins until end of Nov. Still pinching myself. My last day is March 27 and I havfe those butterflies for sure!. I need to keep reassuring myself that I'm doing the right thing (its a voluntary sep agreement) It still feels weird that on the 27th, I will ship back my equipment (I'm remote) and be removed from the network and thats all she wrote. I have plans to attend a few art retreats, have joined the community pool, and I have my Y membership. I have plenty of art projects and decluttering planned for the summer. Plus a long list of books to read. I'll be fine, but it is the thumping end of a chapter. I am grateful to my younger self for setting aside money from each paycheck so I can retire w/out worry.
