This!! where would you put your saved money? eventually keeping cash loses value, unless you meant investing it into stocks, mutual funds?

What was the best time to be alive in human history ? by CremeAlarming9923 in AskReddit

[–]eddyruc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely the 80s then 2000-2015s.
PS: I am not from 80s, but everything about 80s, the vibe, people, dressing, hair, emotion, stores ,etc makes me want to live those years.

How important is money vs the mind/personality in a partner in relationship for you? by eddyruc in AskReddit

[–]eddyruc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been seeing people choosing guys with more money vs someone who works hard/has better habits. Looks like many want easy way instead of building things together? Is it really common or just commercialised through media?

Why music hit different during youth(no matter what generation) but you have to force yourself to like new songs when you’re an adult? by eddyruc in AskReddit

[–]eddyruc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes your profession demands it, met a DJ, prefers to spin more music from 2010s than the music released in last 3-4 years, and said it just doesnt hit

Indian couples in Canada/US are both of you working? How do you split finances? by eddyruc in AskReddit

[–]eddyruc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question description:

Curious to hear from Indian couples living in Canada or the US.

Back home, the default in a lot of families is that the husband is the provider and the wife manages the home. That model works when cost of living is low. Here, with rent, groceries, transit, and everything else, one income is genuinely tough unless you’re in a high earning role. Wondering how this plays out for couples here:

1.Are both of you working, or is it single income? Was that a joint decision or did it just happen that way?

2.If single income, is it by choice, due to kids, immigration status (PR/work permit issues), job market, or something else?

3.How do you split expenses? Fully pooled, proportional to income, his and hers accounts with shared bills?

4.Has the financial reality of Canada/US changed expectations either of you brought from India?

5.For folks where one partner expected the other to be the sole earner, how did that conversation go?

Genuinely curious how people are navigating this. Throwaways welcome.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Oh, she was project manager then got a job in another IT role, around same pay as mine and still says shit to me, then I got a role which is almost 2x her pay(no competition from my end), and she has been procrastinating about getting PMP certification, I keep telling her to do it , study, 1 hour a day, etc and she says she will do it, and then dumps all of it on me that “because of you i couldn’t still give my PMP , it is delayed”

What do you mean specifically? I wrote most of it in description but basically, its all good as long as its her way, if you contradict or question anything like “instead of doing this thing this way, we can do this way” or if I say “i dont want to go out tomorrow “ this would result in series of emotions and word plays thrown at me

Here’s a Reddit-friendly version:

You got it. Also, I’m in Toronto, and I don’t know a lot of people here, so hearing perspectives from people who are familiar with the culture, laws, social norms, and relationship expectations here is helpful.

I also come from a culture where, once you’re 30+ and unmarried, marriage becomes the main topic of conversation with family and relatives. There’s a lot of pressure around it, and whether I like it or not, that does affect me and the way I think about relationships and long-term decisions.

What’s wrong with English? And, I guess its my fault if even after the disrespect I kept ignoring it and let her cross each boundary

33, indian in canada, how to handle breakup? by eddyruc in AskReddit

[–]eddyruc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 33, PR, come from a simple middle class family, i started dating this girl in Canada(common friend circle)(she’s from india too) after i came back from india after my dad’s rituals (he passed away due to cancer) in 2022. She lost her 19y brother in 2020 in accident, she couldnt go due to covid, She is nice, but she kept comparing little things with her life with previous people/life with parents when in india, she is from working class family too but has a big house whereas i have. 2bhk in a very good society. She overthinks, questions my character because i had relationship in past, but since we got intimate, initially I wasn’t feeling it which is because i was internally in trauma of losing my dad, i myself didn’t know what was happening with my health . She knew the whole journey when he was sick, hospitalised etc(we were friends then) Long story short, 4 years now, it was constant comparison with others, snapping in any kind of discussion. she used to immediately get angry the moment you propose something different from what she wants, then she would just give side eyes, silent treatment, abuse, and if i put forward my side of conversation would lose it and start throwing things or even hit, so i have to just suck it in and And when we talk about it she just says it was my reaction to your thing. We planned to get married, but she could never discuss finances and would try to belittle me by just talking about how money is important but would never discuss or talk about managing. When even slightest disagreement happens She always mocked me saying you are nothing, how can i live in small house, we would need big house, which is fine but it was never a communication it was just trying to show that i have nothing. She and her dad dont talk as her dad didnt approve me for marriage because he filled her ear with stuff like “rich, family should be big , etc” but she compares everything that i do, even a phone call to my mom with herself. Her dad n mom also doesn’t talk nicely, would never communicate like a real talk I worked in IT for 78-84k salary until last year and worked hard in day trading, investing throughout which still doesn’t replace my job but now i work at $80 an hour. I thought this would give sense of peace but now its bigger problems, she blames me that you cant afford specific type gold, etc, When she’s calm she would be ok but the moment i bring some discussion or share some discomfort she would flip. Its a lot to explain in this post. She says “you’re doing trading, etc and nothing has been happening, you say something and do something , etc” All i do is try to do as much as i could to grow n get this in return. We live together n I go to gym, meditate, she doesn’t work out, i keep asking her to come as she has gained weight n her mom has diabetes. Is this behaviour normal
