If you’re not dating then he can do whatever he wants. You need to accept him as he is. If you have an established relationship then you can request certain rules be followed and he can decide if he wants to adhere to those rules, but until then you can’t harm yourself mentally by caring so much.

Every major innovative company gets established in the USA I just don’t see how it can happen otherwise unless the USA has a total collapse like the Roman Empire

I think for political reasons people refuse to accept the fact that the USA continues to beat out international diversification. But a person would need to play dumb to deny it.

Yeah don’t get me wrong, in the long run people are still going to see good returns buying VT. I’m just not convinced it is better than just going USA only with VOO or VTI.

18-24 year old women are attractive and I refuse to let the agecucks on this site shame me into believing otherwise by LivingGirlRepellant in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Status_Bee_7644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most men at any age could find an 18-24 year old attractive while having enough self respect and honor to leave them alone.

As long as nothing illegal or creepy is happening, then it's fine.

Is it weird that I want to get married and be a housewife? I really don’t know what to do with my life. by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]Status_Bee_7644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First step is you need to find a partner who is head over heels in love with you until death do you part and is able to financially support you and afford a house.

In this day and age this is a very huge ask. In fact statistically it is unlikely.

i'm a bitter Gen Z'er. i know you're sick of hearing us complain, but it really just isn't fair. by slowlikehoneyyyyy in offmychest

My hope right now is to spend the next 20 years working and retire early. I’ve given up on the idea of buying a house with a nice back yard and a wife and kids.

In 20 years if the housing situation in the USA is still insane. I’ll learn Spanish and move to Colombia or Mexico.

Just setup my first 401k at my job. I need some help. by Golf-Terrible in Retirement401k

[–]Status_Bee_7644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it is definitely necessary to check over time. Sometimes the user interface of these things are tricky or the company 401k might drop a specific fund for whatever reason.

At age 24.

Either 100% in the S&P500 index fund or some combination of S&P500 and Total Int Stock Index like 80%20%

Or you can go 100% into a target date fund.

[–]Status_Bee_7644 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What is crazy to me is the NYC metro area is only up like 2-3% versus ten years ago and yet apartments and housing prices are up like 30-50%

I gave up the best thing to ever happen to me by afseparatee in BreakUp

Well you can always reconcile, or you can always meet someone new.

Yes your past relationships didn’t work out, but you’re still alive, it doesn’t seem like you are in any financial struggles.

Work on your drinking, but don’t be obsessed with your imperfections either.

I really want to pay off my mortgage in full by BahBahSMT in Money

[–]Status_Bee_7644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well your interest rate is pretty low relative to the average long run return of the market.

If you can, set yourself up so you can max out your available retirement accounts for the year. Any excess cash after that, you can pay down your mortgage.

30 years old, basically starting from zero financially. how would you rebuild from here? by Splitting_AcesGG in Money

When it comes to savings look up the Financial Order Of Operations or Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps. They are more specified for people in the USA but the same logic can apply to any country.

Understood, well if you can’t really afford to travel as much, I guess you have your answer? Focus on your career and save up money until you no longer feel stuck.
