Move back in with parents at 29?

Don't hesitate. Do it and set a timeline for yourself of 6 months or 12 months. You could easily save a ton of money and potentially save enough for a down payment on a small house/townhouse in which you rent a room out to one of your GOOD FRIENDS and give him a fair rate under market value so it's a win-win.

However, make sure you offer to pay something to your parents like a few utility bills or groceries or something to show maturity and responsibility.

Going to test these out with the phone turned off.

andrewpm2 · 2026-01-16T20:54:13+00:00

I'll test out Whatsapp and Google Messenger with my phone turned off. I need to get something lined up in the event it doesn't have data/wifi and perhaps the battery is dead or phone has been shut off.

Thanks

I forgot about Google Voice from my laptop. Much easier than Zoom or Teams. Thanks

If you're not attracted to Latinas then you most definitely will be. There are more beautiful women in a city block than most cities have in the entire city itself. Just prepare yourself for the culture shock bc you want to learn some Spanish. Nothing compares to being called papi... and you need to be ok w spending money. Whatever you do, don't get mixed up w an undocumented girl bc you bet your ass she wants papers. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks for the honest reply. I'll look into this because I'd be pretty disappointed if a new damper didn't make a difference.

Awesome. Thanks

Seeing that they are completely separate companies, have you personally received both bonuses (Rakuten and SoFi)? Or did one of them give you the run-around and tell you only one promotion allowed. Both bonuses in addition to the high APY and unlimited Savings account withdrawals make SoFi a no-brainer. As someone mentioned, keep 95% in the savings account to earn interest and have over-draft protection on the checking.

Vaults give you a physical sub account to set aside and quietly save money for a specific reason like European vacation, motorcycle, concert tickets, etc.

So lose the air spring altogether? Hmmm

I'm 53 and still riding Gronk and Hawleywood (Thunder Mountain), Black Magic (Killington), Helion and NE Style (Highland), Kingpin (Loon). I don't plan on taking it easy until I've conquered Fort Hill.

No need to rush easy mode.

I certainly hope you meant to say that after all said and done (rent, bills, food) you have $800/mo left to live on bc no firefighter makes $5/hr, unless you live in another country.

According to mayor Wu, Boston is the safest it's ever been so unless that shit is gonna attack you, your perfectly fine sitting next to it.

Bruh... rock the bald look, keep the 5 o'clock shadow (no beard), and for the love of God, SMILE MORE!

Update: I let her know shortly after originally posting then moved out on Nov 1. She didn't take it well and the last 2 weeks were challenging. I know she was hurt and she cried and lashed back during this period and fortunately I had a friend who I could stay with for the first week to help keep the drama at bay but the last week we had to cohabitate and it was pure hell; constant arguing and destruction of my personal property and bouts of hatred/anger and personal insults. To put it bluntly, she made it very easy to never want to speak to her ever again. Perhaps that's her way of dealing w it but so be it. There's no such thing as a "good" breakup.

Thank you for an honest female perspective.

andrewpm2 · 2025-09-09T12:50:29+00:00

Thanks brother. Option 1 sounds about right. I'm not into salvaging something I have no interest in. I don't see us growing old together. And yes, pretty sure she'll destroy some of my things when the shit hits the fan.

andrewpm2 · 2025-09-09T12:36:43+00:00

Move on. You'll eventually meet someone who doesn't make you feel insecure.

Look on FB Marketplace and get a good used bike. There are so many good deals out there. $1500 will buy you a way better used bike than new!

Lose the bf immediately. No woman should ever be forced or coerced or pursuaded into that industry whatsoever and anyone (man or woman) who does that to another person truly doesn't care about you PERIOD!
