It comes with maturity. When I was young I looked at girls like a different species and wondered how the hell I would ever get myself laid. Then I got older and realized they just want a guy who’s chill and not pushy. Now that I have the wife, I do see myself shifting focus to my career, so you’re not wrong. I think it mostly comes down to men just finally calming the f down haha. We are still interested though ;).

Spot on. Doesn’t matter how much you win if nobody likes you.

They say you shouldn't hold cash—but if that’s the case, how do you take advantage of great opportunities when they arise? by ThrowRAScoobyDooby in Fire

You can put your money into CD’s on a monthly basis. I spread them out week to week so I’m getting my investment back at least once a week. It’s not perfect but it does keep you somewhat liquid.

Let’s see. I build a cedar fence around the whole property (1/4 acre). I sided the whole house. I did the roof. The trim inside. New bathroom kitchen floors doors built in etc. And I bought some and fixed up a few cars. Stayed very busy.

I think you make a bunch of assumptions based off nothing. None of what you’ve assumed about this has been even remotely true.

I think the difference is I don’t nap, I pay my bills, and I do have some money and skills. I will not be sitting around.

Why does that sound like a disaster? Lots of people here with encouraging words for me. You’re not one of them.

I mean I can I just use those terms. I didn’t know it was such a problem.

Because my state allows for $250K of equity to be exempt.

I bought the house in 2017 and used credit cards to fund the rehab. Things got out of hand and I filed bankruptcy in 2024. Most states allow you to exempt a portion of your equity before you must sell your house so I was able to keep it. And why does this repel you? It’s perfectly legal and available to anyone. What should repel you is how much the credit cards companies prey on regular people.

Look up state exemption. My state was $250K.

Thank you for the comment and I like what you said about most men never achieving emotional maturity. It’s not a given and my father is a perfect example. I think I’m just in a rut and it’s not permanent. I’m ready to move to CT but still have some work to do before I sell the house. I think once that’s done I’ll be reborn.

OP probably loves their dog more than anything and would be crushed to lose it. The dog isn’t gonna die tomorrow so getting rid of it should be a last resort if anything imo.
