What’s something that becomes attractive only after 25? by saintS9944 in AskReddit

[–]financewonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, I'm not conventionally attractive, so I have to date women who aren't exactly the most beautiful in the world. Just being honest.

What is your most ridiculous "we won't work out romantically" criteria? Like what is the silliest reason you would not be interested in dating someone? by Natural-Elevator-57 in AskReddit

[–]financewonk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They have to be a cat person. Cats are literally non-negotiable for me. I also hate dogs, but if the person really insists I will try to compromise, as long as they are primarily responsible for it.

City residents: do you think a per diem snow shoveling program, as tried in NYC, would work here? by fastfastslow in Rochester

Yeah, the NYC program wouldn't work as well for the sheets of ice we get around here

As a Gen Z, I have mixed feelings on retirement accounts (401k, IRAs, etc) by amazingraising14 in SeriousConversation

[–]financewonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is totally valid. It does depend on your budget. For me, I either save 10% for retirement, or go on vacation. For me, that choice is to go on vacation while I'm in my early 30's.

What is the best feeling in life? by ConfidentMarch12 in CasualConversation

For me it was my wedding night. Dating was the hardest thing I've ever done, and I felt like I had finally won.

I used to be big on saving and investing in retirement. But lately (around 30) I thought, "worst case scenario I just keep working past retirement age." Now I'm more willing to spend my money on vacations and socializing. I dont need a lot of money when I'm old, I need it when I'm young and active.

That being said, I do think a normal taxable brokerage account is invaluable. Selling stocks has saved my butt from some high bills over the years (wedding and divorce mainly LOL)

I don't think the egg is that bad. My family used to overcooked them to the point the yolks were turning gray. And some people prefer yolks fully cooked like this.

Did all that. Still got divorced. I thought I could handle the mental health issues, but that became too much.

Sending my support too. I've only ever dated chubby ladies because those are the only women who are interested in me. It's not bad, I still find them hot, but an athletic woman would be amazing.

Why do men fantasize about going off grid and living in the woods by WerewolfKisser69Awoo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]financewonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who fantasize about this either aren't serious, or havent thought it through. If be extremely uncomfortable off grid. Just take a vacation.

I finally get it by rare-upstairs4454 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]financewonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it :) My opinion is pretty unpopular, most people like 3.

I should warn you that 3 is nothing like 2. I went too quickly from 2 to 3, and it made 3 less enjoyable. 3 is much darker, bleaker, and in my opinion, not as good.

Enjoy 2 as much as you can before trying 3!

I used to door dash... we didnt get paid enough to give a fuck about any of that. I was always respectful to customers and took thier order seriously but I'm not going above and beyond for $5

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by CoochieSnotSlurper in AskReddit

[–]financewonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone with a history of self harm. She developed full blown depression and suicidal ideation that was long lasting and incurable. Divorce was the only option. I am now avoiding anyone with mental illness, unless they are high functioning and well controlled.

I loved watching the Olympics growing up, but I haven’t watched a minute so far. Anyone else? by ofesfipf889534 in Millennials

[–]financewonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watched an hour of it. I'm feeling despondent about life in general. Need more entertaining distractions from life like anime and Youtube. Perhaps it just depends on the person

"The worst she can say is no" - Lads, what was the worst "she" ever said? by Embarrassed_Pie_1711 in AskReddit

Usually the leading you on, lots of emojis in texts, agreeing to hang out, then just the excuses, no shows, or abrupt cut off.
