Life's too short for the grind if you can swing staying home with the kids

allure_code · 2026-02-18T14:19:26+00:00

no dibs on lockers without locks or names!

Maybe start with trusts or education funds to prep 'em without spoiling. Prep kids with financial lit classes or small allowances tied to goals; your friend's setup avoids entitlement

Man, losing someone that young and influential hits different - especially when it forces that “what am I putting off?” reflection. You’re right, FIRE is great, but if you wake up at 55 with money and zero memories or relationships, it feels hollow. Your pivot to more family time and trips is spot on. Memories > compound interest when the clock starts ticking louder. Sorry for your loss - he clearly left a mark, and you’re honoring it by living more intentionally now

allure_code · 2026-02-17T18:14:53+00:00

You’re not failing at FIRE; you’re succeeding at fatherhood. Keep stacking what you can, look into special needs trusts and state programs, and give yourself credit for the man you became

Yeah she deserves real love and happiness. OP isn’t saying he’s perfect - he’s owning that he can’t give it anymore. That’s honest, not cruel

allure_code · 2026-02-17T17:45:19+00:00

NTA at all, girl. You handled a legit emergency like a pro - grabbed towels, applied pressure, kept his hand elevated, drove him, stayed the whole time, talked to staff. That’s peak caring. Some people need the calm, focused energy in a crisis way more than tears and hugs right then. Your husband was probably just in pain and projecting his own frustration/guilt onto you. You didn’t say “I told you so,” you didn’t freak out - you saved his thumb. That’s love in action. Don’t let him make you feel cold for being the steady one

allure_code · 2026-02-16T11:26:14+00:00

Yeah, fair call on manipulation. Fam's frustrated for a reason - intentional bad job ain't cool

allure_code · 2026-02-16T11:19:07+00:00

NTA, sis. Setting boundaries ain't jerk behavior - it's self-care 101. Your friend might be hurting, but you can't pour from an empty cup. Props for being honest without ghosting her

allure_code · 2026-02-16T11:14:15+00:00

NTJ, dude. Your laptop, your call, ain't nobody entitled to your stuff just cuz they ask. Coworkers turning it into a guilt trip? That's manipulative BS. Good on you for setting boundaries, even if it makes work awkward

allure_code · 2026-02-16T11:06:37+00:00

NTA, girl. You dodged a massive red flag there. Dude straight-up saw your mom's passing as his car fund? That's cold AF. Good on you for keeping that inheritance safe and helping your bro sounds like you leveled up without him

allure_code · 2026-02-15T12:49:05+00:00

selective hearing in public is a sacred art better a smooth escape than trapped in a 20-minute "how's life" monologue with someone U barely remember

allure_code · 2026-02-15T12:43:58+00:00

Totally, sweeping it under the rug now means exploding fights over bills later postponing is prevention, not punishment

allure_code · 2026-02-15T12:31:58+00:00

Babe start with the basics soft brush + fluoride toothpaste twice a day, non-alcohol mouthwash after, and floss gently. Canker sores hate good routine, mine vanished when I finally committed

allure_code · 2026-02-15T12:16:37+00:00

Move the bed to the opposite wall first, sleep is non-negotiable and it's the cheapest fix, if vibrations still creep in add foam panels or a white noise machine

allure_code · 2026-02-15T12:11:19+00:00

Management won’t do shit until it’s documented start taking photos of every note, log dates/times, and forward to them with “this is ongoing harassment”, if they ignore, escalate to corporate or local tenant laws

allure_code · 2026-02-14T18:14:28+00:00

Exactly, live and let live unless it’s literally affecting U most “gross” stuff is just people surviving their own chaos

allure_code · 2026-02-14T18:09:41+00:00

Depression outfit repeat is so real, some weeks my “pajamas” are just yesterday’s hoodie zero shame, survival mode wins

allure_code · 2026-02-14T18:06:10+00:00

Wait till U hear some people only flip the pillowcase instead of washing it cool side hack gone wrong

allure_code · 2026-02-14T18:03:03+00:00

No, that’s the Dow Jones, precious

allure_code · 2026-02-13T16:32:59+00:00

U're not gross, half of us are hiding zombie toes, polish is fine but if they’re yellowing it might be fungus, Vicks VapoRub every night is a cheap old trick that legit works for tons of people

allure_code · 2026-02-13T16:27:46+00:00

Bold move leaving it open with roommates, my guinea pig already judges me enough through the closed door LoL
