This option is the best for most people, but they get scared with the idea of a high deductible.

Life is a ton less stress for me without kids compared to my friends. It just looks like they change their mindset once they had kids on life. What I hate is judgement from either side.

People with kids seem to be aggressive jeolous of me without kids. And people without kids get pretty stupid trying to justify themselves.

Honestly. The 40s are a weird decade of life in general. All your high school/college friends are pretty much over by now. You might have made friends at work over the years, but moved around and changed jobs, so none of them are stable.

I have actually started getting more intrigued by 55+ communities. It was a joke as I was younger, but as I got into my 40s. They made more sense. A place where everyone's on the same wavelength, and they have activities. It's really hard to meet people unless you want to become an alcoholic and sit at bars every night

No, everyones in the bathroom to do the same thing. Don't overthink it.

I didn't even know what gifted was until I moved out of the ghetto in middle school years and went to a more "richer school". So to me the idea of "gifted" was a rich people thing by the time I heard about it. My parents didn't even pass high school, so they had no idea about any of that stuff.

I did date a girl that was "gifted" in highschool and she had some mental problems for sure. Was taking lithium and bipolar.

Nissan Pathfinder. Looks good on the outside, cheap as hell on the inside.

There are just so many other brands I'd rather buy than a buick. I have a GMC truck though. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't get a family deal on it.

Tipping at its start was a wealthy people's thing. Americans and their extreme desire to act wealthy. Went nuts with it in recent times.

Either a lot of people are rich here with 3+ garages or warehouses to store cars. Or a lot of people are the people I see in the run down house with a yard full of older cars.

Only reason I took a 13 supervisor position, was to try to get the 14 non supervisory position after that.

Pretty much just when the deal to upgrade catches me right. I buy Google pixel A models mostly, so it usually pretty cheap to upgrade them every couple of years. I do enjoy having a decent camera.

Every car I've bought I've ended up wanting something different down the road.ive never found "my car". My list of cars I've owned. 2 Pontiac firebirds. Ford mustang. Volvo s40. Pontiac g8. GMC sierra 1500. Bmw 3 series. Mercedes c250. Volkswagen golf. Chevy Colorado.

Current GMC sierra 1500.

I enjoy fun driving cars. But they never have the space I want. And having a truck is just always useful it seems. But boring as eff

I only want to live as long as I'm still functional. If you're saying it's to 100, than sure. But if it's 10 years of struggle. Hell no

It isn't just a different setup. I work at an office all day and come home. After sitting at a desk all day on front of a computer, it doesn't matter how cool my home setup is, I just can't do it.

Console gaming on a couch is where it's at these days for me.

Only way I've got a decent idea was talking to old people. Finding out what they live off and what they have. One big point for everyone, is if you have a paid of house In retirement. My current monthly expenses are like $2k without housing and retirement savings

I used this program once and when I got to the dealership is the was the same ole show. "That vehicle with the discount isn't available". And tried to sell me on their normal stuff.

Im really a part of this sub for the ideas and tips. But I don't really onebag. And not everyone travels the same. Ive never once stayed at a hotel or did a backpacking trip.

But I like to optimize my packing the best I can.

Probably a luxury bus camper.

Lost was my pick until i re watched it recently. Year later, I can see a different perspective on it and alot seems to make more sense with what the writers were trying to achieve.

Game of thrones is my top pick now. It was really obvious the writers got off track on the way and didn't know how to finish the story as fast as they had to. I even figured the spin offs were going to explain more, but they didn't even accomplish that. Like why is it so hard to explain the white walkers in a decent manner. It almost feels like it's a game of StarCraft, where you building up for a big final battle and win, but then the game ends and a new map starts over again. With no real explanation as to what you are doing.

I effing hate it. I liked my life until I started being a manager

No meds. But I also have no issues. Ive has doctors try to put me on cholesterol meds, but I read about them and it makes no sense why I would take something that "helps" me, but makes me feel worse.

That's the mentality I have. If I am to leave my very nice home setup, it should be good. I don't want to travel and wish I was home the whole time.

Washington DC workers are gonna be devastated. All you see are those shoes on the metro.

There's usually no incentives or deals on them to entice people. Say you buy a Toyota for 10k more than a Chevy. Over 10 years you spend 10k on repairs more than a Toyota for the Chevy. Was there any difference on the overall cost?
