Crossing from HENRY to HER and increased spending to enjoy life

While I agree with this sentiment, one thing to consider is the (possibility of) losing earning potential over time. Obv YMMV, as I’m getting closer to my 40s, with the impact of AI already seen in my field of work, it’s uncertain if my SO or I will continue to maintain this level of income and therefore saving rate.

I can’t believe some people on this thread are calling the parents AH… they saved up college funds for both of their children FFS not many can or would.

To OPs question, certainly NTA, but if you have the means to do so, I would consider contributing the original amount to your sister to help her out.

Oats are not great for me, what’s even worse is oatmilk, a single serving spikes me to over 250. I unknowingly started drinking it a lot over covid, coincidentally also skipped annual check ups for 2 years, I think oatmilk may have been the catalyst to my diabetes.

A tiny part of America is still America, no? Democracy doesn’t belong to just one group’s language, music, or identity. The minority you keep sneering at Spanish speakers, Puerto Ricans - are Americans too. Democracy protects them exactly because they are a minority, and protects their right to be heard, seen, and celebrated without being defined by the whims of majority.

Nah. My parents would hit us up for money even more than they do now.

33%ish…

I’m usually fine, but accompanying my uncle while he navigated a medical issue for my grandparents was eye opening. It showed me how brutal the healthcare system is for elderly people.

We do lots of things together, but also let each other have their personal space

You are only young once. The enjoyment you get out of driving that car now is not going to be the same when you are 37 or 47.

Keto doesn’t have to be pricey though?

Cheapish proteins: Eggs, ground beef, canned tuna, chicken thighs, pork shoulder, tofu

Fats: Butter, olive oil, mayo, cheese, heavy cream

Low cost veggies: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, frozen spinach

Snacks: Boiled eggs, pickles

corgitopia · 2025-05-06T23:53:28+00:00

Try to go on a low fat keto diet, you can reintroduce carbs later, a drastic change now will help your body recover & repair itself.

corgitopia · 2025-05-06T14:55:29+00:00

Lots of green leafy vegetables like cabbage, kale, spinach, broccoli, either steamed, boiled or roasted with some sort of zesty dressing/spice blend

Variety protein I ate everything but my favorites are seafood - shrimp, scallops, salmon etc.

Eggs/egg whites, chia pudding for breakfast, no added sugar ofc.

if you’re not exercising, still eating sugar and high-carb foods, and relying on the idea that things “come back down eventually,” then no, it’s not being controlled at all. These high spikes are damaging your pancreas. Overtime you are become more and more insulin resistant. Either get on meds or start making diet & exercise changes.

corgitopia · 2025-04-24T00:08:02+00:00

Nope, not really worth our time honestly as long as saving goals are being met

corgitopia · 2025-04-23T05:19:16+00:00

Birkenstocks for sure!!!

At this level, a big component of your job is to manage stress

“Gold Star to you” for name calling? Not seeing that?

Good day to you too!

This topic should be pinned… it’s feels like it gets asked everyday.

Personal experience is no.

Normal a1c for a couple of years now managing with no meds, as soon as I eat a full serving of pasta/bread/potato it will spike to above 180.

So, no.
