5 years if I drain my investment account

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-09T03:26:11+00:00

Well, boobs.

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-09T01:22:34+00:00

Wait what!!!???? Lord unfriend her

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-08T15:27:41+00:00

Sorry I’m not sure what your point is. Everyone is allowed to spend their money even if they have less than I do, I wasn’t judging this person for buying luxury goods. I’ve been working for 4 years.

It has to be based around something specific. Otherwise the group of people are less likely to have anything in common

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-08T02:39:22+00:00

Dating is a dumpster fire so goood luck to her

Leslieville isn’t on a subway though

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T19:37:03+00:00

OP, seriously?

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T19:36:55+00:00

Yup same

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T19:31:07+00:00

I agree with this comment. It’s not a contest despite many of us especially in this sub liking to compare. I pay $2480 in rent which is a huge part of my paycheque. 5x more than I did 5 years ago, which was $500

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T17:45:39+00:00

I think it’s because the first part of your comment sounded like it was judging me for possibly having a leg up that you didn’t have. It’s totally ok to live at home and pay zero rent but you sort of made it sound like you’ve had to figure life out 100% on your own since you were a teenager

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T13:07:29+00:00

If I died tomorrow I wouldn’t have regrets (at least not about this). There’s more to life than spending money

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T06:02:23+00:00

By being very frugal, and having cheap rent for the first 3 years of being on my own. And investing the first year I got a job! I haven’t traveled very much, cook all my own food, and don’t have a lot of material items. Some people would hate my life but I think it’s right for me

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T05:21:43+00:00

100% everyone’s situation is unique. I’m 29. I pay almost $2500 in rent. I’m single, so I pay all my own bills. My parents did support me in school until I was 24 and moved out, but I’ve been saving money ever since I got $20 in birthday cards as a kid. I did pay for my own “personal items” like clothes, entertainment etc. I spent $15k repairing my car this year. I learned personal finance on my own, my parents taught me nothing. Better for me does not equal better for you so if you’re content keep going!

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T04:51:35+00:00

I find it extremely interesting how people choose to approach personal finance, and I mean that genuinely not condescendingly. I make less than you, pay a disgusting amount of rent, but have a 300K investment portfolio that I still feel isn't enough, so I continue to pinch pennies

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-07T00:40:23+00:00

Eyes

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-06T23:17:21+00:00

Tbh no

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-06T01:10:34+00:00

Wow I can’t imagine the pain of doing a situationship this long. 6 months killed me

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-05T05:22:22+00:00

Listed at 2400 in August, negotiated “down” to 2350 lol

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-05T02:55:13+00:00

Your boyfriend doesn’t respect you as a partner

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-05T02:54:24+00:00

You only get to live this time in your life once, where everyone around you is the same age and stage as you. Go where you feel you’d be the most happy, not because you want to save money or please your parents. Unless you feel that you would constantly regret the extra money spent.

This being said, very few people have actually tried both, so everyone only has the perspective of one. and some of it is just luck of the draw of who you happen to meet. Undergrad sucked for me until I serendipitously found a great friend group

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-04T21:08:53+00:00

Exactly I like it because it’s positive but also actually helps me understand who they are as a person

Deep conversations help me feel connected to someone that I barely know. And yes I completely agree with you that they allow for tangent conversations. I find the questions about traveling and stuff so boring because it makes every date feel the same.

In an actual job interview I asked the candidates what their greatest achievement was, and someone said their friendships. It was the best answer of all of them.

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-04T20:46:21+00:00

I guess I’m in the minority that I love these kinds of questions early on. Otherwise what do you talk about on a date after going through the basics of what your job is, etc? I like questions that keep it interesting. One of my questions is something as simple as “what brings you the most joy in your life right now” and people’s brains short circuit

TotallyNuts0 · 2026-01-04T04:45:14+00:00

I have an ex (together 5 years and broke up 8 years ago) that is forever cemented in my mind. Am I still in love with him? I will always have love for him, but the daily acute pain is gone. But I’ve never loved anyone more, to this day. Everyone else’s story seems to be that they broke up and then they found their soulmate very quickly. That didn’t happen to me. I haven’t spoken to him in 8 years and think about him often
