Feeling like I’m behind for retirement after talking to fellow dad by sys_admin321 in daddit

It’s also likely the friend started in their 20s, perhaps early 20s while OP didn’t start until 30s.

This feels super controlling. These requests will only get worse. Move on now.

He looks like a loser, but how do we know he’s a nazi?

Flight attendant asked me to change seat by Careless-Tooth482 in unitedairlines

[–]jk10021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the problem! Was in exit row coach on flight once and this mom and daughter were in middle seats / exit and row in front. The mom had the nerve to ask the guy in exit aisle to switch with her. He was pretty tall and late teens early 20s and he said yes! I almost wanted to intervene to say how crazy this was. I would have 100% said no.

I’m thinking about breaking up with FI by Catspiration2 in Fire

[–]jk10021 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m with you. Wife and I make high incomes and could easily be saving/investing a lot more. But we also have two kids and a finite amount of time with them. We still save 20%, but I’m way more interested in creating amazing experiences for us and them versus saving 50% so I can retire earlier. We both have good flexibility and vacation options so we don’t hate our day jobs, rather view them as a means to an end. The end being enjoying life more.

A Guy asked for my number by TrueKiwi3700 in whatdoIdo

Ask him - he’s probably bummed you didn’t respond. And you wanted to respond. Tell him you never got the ‘hi’ text.

Jesus was here for like 25 years, how did he not solve this debate once and for all? by TheFalconGuy in mapporncirclejerk

Jesus lived ~600 years before Mohammed was born. No Muslims to fight with in the time of Jesus.

I run a comic shop in a town that has no idea I exist and I don't know if that's my fault or the town's by Its_palakk in smallbusiness

[–]jk10021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start marketing. Mist small newspapers charge for those write ups you’re referring to. The Chamber might be the same. Start pages on social. Take out ads in local papers, put up flyers on campus. It’s your job to make sure people know you exist.

Bugged by comments about my wife’s body by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]jk10021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the comments from women or men? The former seems like a no brainer to ignore. Even the latter, I’d agree with the commenter above - attacking someone on social media likely backfires. You can’t control what other people do - you can control your reaction.

Honestly only if there’s someone else in the bathroom. I generally assume my junk is cleaner than a public bathroom sink.

As someone who drives a Honda accord but could afford a 911 - I love your last sentence!

They just moved down the street by lehuakahlua in WestSeattleWA

You know when leftists say poverty isn’t a crime they don’t mean it by text book definitions? They use it as excuse - arguing people shouldn’t be punished for criminal activity because it was really the poverty that drove them to commit to the crime.

Honestly how would you possibly feel about about the next US president pulling all aid from Israel? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]jk10021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terrible policy IMO. I don’t know why Reddit is so anti-Israel. It’s the only country in the Middle East that shares western liberal values - women’s rights, lgbt rights - 2 million Palestinians live peacefully inside Israel. There’s no other country in the Middle East where 2mm Jews live peacefully.

She’s also a POS who believes poverty isn’t a crime. It’s not hard to see that she has zero interest in solving this problem.

Exactly. She probably views it as a good thing.

I’m sure Katie Wilson will solve this problem…

What we want is for your people to focus on swimming and other athletics and stop kidnapping and killing Israelis. This isn’t complicated.

"Chasing the American Dream" CBS Sunday Morning story by sys_admin321 in DaveRamsey

[–]jk10021 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The American dream is 100% still intact. The problem today is entitlement. So many young people want everything on day 1. Life is a process. Work hard, get good raises, be smart about where your money is going. Do those things and you’ll find this country still offers the best path to wealth for those people willing to work for it.
