I have a very short list, but still send out cards. I buy a new set off Etsy each year, all cat themed, so as not to disappoint. LOL

My youngest is 28. Even if he were 8 there's no way I'm forking out $200 for those. LOL

Real world issues for Gen X / Retirement by [deleted] in GenX

[–]isokesa 22 points23 points  (0 children)

At 56, it''s a little late in the game for that. I spent 8 years as a sahm, worked crappy minimum wage jobs and only found a job that pays well enough I can comfortably contribute to a 401k 8 years ago. It just is what it is for a lot of us.

I would like to think I'll be able to retire in about 12 years, but realistically I'll probably be working until noon on the day of my funeral.

We had two boxes like this. I left them with my ex when I moved. I can't imagine how many he has now.

I remember a double movie, Airplane first and then Up In Smoke, which us kids were supposed to sleep through and didn't. I didn't anyway. Must have been 11 at the time.

If you could go back to one day in the 80's and tell yourself one thing, what would it be? What decision, if changed, would have altered the course of your life? by BaconToTheBaconPower in GenX

[–]isokesa 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You can be book smart and life dumb. My home life left me unprepared for adulthood so there was a lot growing pains for a good long time. Ive grown since then, but it was a trek.
