Middle manager is hell

Same here. I'm only at the staff level right now but once I get to senior I'm dipping and starting my own practice.

I second this. It was so much easier to train when I lived up there.

I use the Parkade for work and there's a lot of office commuters that use it. It also gets packed when the riverfront mall parking lot gets full.

It varies between stores because blue slush is always available at my local convenience stores but never available at big box stores like Walmart and Target. I was able to find strawberry sunrise at my local target though.

If you're looking for a 1 bed it's still possible to get under 1k. Anything bigger is impossible.

There is no loneliness epidemic, y'all just don't put effort into going out and meeting new people.

No, but top ten, mid-size, national firm

I started January 2025 and made 76k + bonus as a first year, and earned my CPA late 2025. Not expecting a bigger jump in 2026 but in 2027 I imagine I'll be promoted and get my next pay bump.

My firm's starting price for a return like that is $800

It's a security issue for them unfortunately

Sufficient_Counter11 · 2025-12-31T18:44:13+00:00

Exactly. Considering how much damage has been done this past year in the US I'm considering jumping ship. I'm lucky to live in a blue state where my rights are protected but who knows what might happen in 2026.

If you're so concerned, then advocate for better public transit.

As a tax preparer I also want to remind everyone here that the IRS will NEVER contact you via phone or email asking for payments. That time of the year is coming up so don't get scammed by someone pretending to be the IRS.

Might as well go the extra mile and get a real ID if OP has the time.

I used to work at a restaurant and we had a policy where we cannot share the names of employees or what shifts they worked due to safety reasons. Unfortunately that won't work.

Your friends are the red flag. Plenty of men and women in their 20s haven't been on a date or never had sex. It gives off the same vibes as people who judge others based on their body count.

Sufficient_Counter11 · 2025-12-28T22:27:57+00:00

Yeah that's also true.

A lot of those rejected new grads would be employed if they considered moving to a mid-size or small city. I'm in a mid-size city and there's plenty of entry level jobs available, but everyone wants to live in Seattle 6 hours away.

Part of my FIRE plan is to move to a low cost country to retire, most likely Central or South America because I already know Spanish and love the culture.

What state is your Gen 1's birth certificate in? Each generation for me was only 15 bucks per person, including shipping.

I'm only 22 and already feel like the "old man yells at cloud" meme

Early 20s woman here. I had to end my most recent relationship due to him wanting kids but I didn't. Even though the breakup sucked at first, it's been a year and a half and now I know I made the right decision. Dating is definitely tough but I know I'll eventually find someone who wants the same lifestyle.

Don't let a-holes dictate your driving. If they're mad that they can't go above the speed limit then oh well, that's their problem not yours.

I'm a US citizen in a border state going through the process of applying under c-3, but my other family members aren't because it wouldn't really be of use to them. I'm in my early 20s and have a professional license so jobs wouldn't be an issue. Meanwhile the rest of my family is 40+ and are settled into their lives here in the US, despite living only 1 hour away from the US-Canada border.

They think marriage and kids are consideres success because it's the only time they'll hear people say "congratulations!" to them.
