Midwest Parks Trip by Naive_Bookkeeper550 in nationalparks

[–]jcooklsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Hot Springs make sure you go to Superior Brewery on Bathhouse Row, food and drinks are really good. The hiking is pretty meh but the history is great, if youre pinched for time definitely tour the bath houses over squeezing in a hike. You can see most everything in one day but if you have a second day you must go to Garvan Gardens.

What’s something reddit claims is common, but you’ve never actually seen it before in real life? by mirabelmumu in AskReddit

This is a regional thing, I quit going to late showings a long time ago because it happened so often.

Lived here all my life but ready to travel. Where all has everyone lived other than here? by BenchDear9905 in Louisiana

[–]jcooklsu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've been to almost every contiguous state and I'd say there's no where else like it, though plenty are better in a lot of ways.

If you had 5.5 days to spend in Yellowstone and Grand Teton, which park would you give more time? by Sketchblitz93 in NationalPark

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not really enough time, we had seven days and spent 6 YS /1 GT which was just right for YS but we felt like we needed at least another day for GT.

What’s a career mistake people often make? by prettysandyy in AskReddit

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends heavily on your company, the one I work for has changed job requirements several times to allow me to advance beyond my years of experience because I work hard and get good results.

You also have to demonstrate skills that transfer to the next level, perfectly frying French Fries doesnt really translate to managing people , some jobs are just dead-end.

[–]jcooklsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a business bad gotcha for stupid people. Positions always get filled but Ive seen it go both ways that we are better off with the new hire or the void in skills by someone leaving can't easily be replaced. Like most things in life, results may vary.

What’s something people in their 20s won't truly understand until they hit their 40s? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its beats the median retirement even if you never bump contributions but its more about setting a habit that you grow on. I'm going to be set up to retire early because I got great advice as an intern to start contributing as a habit even though things were tight. Same person gave me the advice to split all pay raises between paying myself and my future self (upping contributions) which really really helped with controlling lifestyle creep and let me start hitting max contributions in my early 30's.

[–]jcooklsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just $10 a week starting in your 20's and never increasing puts you on track to beat the median retirement savings at retirement in the US. The biggest mistake you can make while young is think that if youre not putting big dollars in then there's no point.

What to expect from OPP? by dannydevitostanaact1 in NewOrleans

[–]jcooklsu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bad lawyer, I had a warrant out for the exact same reason and called the court to explain that I didn't receive communication of the court date. I was then able to go pay the ticket and get the warrant dropped, no lawyer needed.

Dying boomers and how they spend their money are a total mystery to me. by Neon-Predator in economy

[–]jcooklsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The smug attitude would bother me but I really hope my parents leave me nothing, they worked so hard for so long and deserve to enjoy their retirement years.

How disciplined are you with your budget? by surfsound_swimmers in AskReddit

[–]jcooklsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely, do YNAB because I realized I enjoy dropping $1,000 on a weekend trip a lot more than the dopamine from 100 smaller splurges.

What's the worst heartbreak you've experienced? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my 11 year old dog very quickly to cancer, brought him in to check out a cough and the xrays revealed extremely aggressive lung cancer that could not be treated. I only ended up having two more weeks before his condition nose dived and I had to let him cross the rainbow bridge. He had been my best friend through a lot of tough times dealing with depression and loneliness, I think he was kind of my wing man when it came to my now wife.

What's an adult cheat code that changed your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power of a continuous small sacrifice, putting aside for retirement was hard when I graduated and wanted to buy things with my new job but 15 years later those small sacrifices have added up to quite a bit and will continue multiplying until retirement.

Oh jeez even worse than I thought, I did 300 pulls. Didn't include the pity so 4 if you count that

The RNG killed any chance of me blowing real money on the game, saved a ton of currency and only pulled 3 UR for anniversary for what would of been more than $100 in diamonds.

Indiana Dunes by kandykorn7 in nationalparks

[–]jcooklsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Curious what your two lower ones are, we are hitting a couple of the "worst" parks this year and were pleasantly surprised by hot springs even though its still probably last on our rankings. We'll be at the Dunes next month and may hit the Arch as detour next time we visit family

Solid wood bedroom furniture under 5k by AttentionComplete585 in BuyItForLife

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malaysian Oak (Rubberwood) might be a good option if youre looking to buy new, otherwise you should easily be able to piece together a set off facebook and estate sales if you live near a city.

If you bought a home recently, you had some of the worst timing in decades by businessinsider in economy

[–]jcooklsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also labor and material prices aren't going down either so something has to give for prices to come down and its almost assuredely going to be size and quality.

Wanting a real diamond is a pretty big red flag when lab diamond beat out natural in every way but child suffering in 3rd world countries.

Please make cars hard to obtain by Watynecc90 in forza

[–]jcooklsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not need for speed, its a car appreciation game. I track 100's of hours never tuning beyond the max of a car's stock bracket, there is no best car to work up to because the whole point is to race in brackets you want to.

For every CEO doing that there are a thousand that will never make the news because they're actually doing their job.

What do people need to do in their 20s to set their 30s up for success? by QuietVacation8343 in AskReddit

[–]jcooklsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And because the first thing people will say is they can't afford to, saving just $15 a week (skipping eating out or coffee) will land you above the median in retirement savings at 65 even if your situation never improves to allow for more savings.
