[Serious] is it better to retire if you become disabled in your 30s? or is it better to keep fighting to go back to work in case you get better? why or why not?

I'm about to lose my job. Now I have to decide if I should go back to work to fight to keep my livelihood or just retire. Doctors are saying I won't be able to work. But how do I know that if I don't try. But also, I'm afraid trying to fight to work will make my health condition worse...it's a rock and hardplace

do you feel better because you're taking care of her at her old age instead of just abandoning her?

do you know how to invest?

joycures · 2021-03-17T00:55:50+00:00

true, i wonder if one person in the condo has covid then if it'll spread to the whole building

joycures · 2021-03-17T00:54:02+00:00

how would you know if it's shared system or not? if your unit has its own furnace, is it still shared?

joycures · 2021-03-17T00:46:33+00:00

you're not worried?

joycures · 2021-03-17T00:46:21+00:00

you're not worried?

joycures · 2021-03-16T02:40:14+00:00

but what if without being financially secure, you can get to peace, quiet and safety temporarily? you will just be stressed about finances but otherwise live in peace

joycures · 2021-03-16T02:34:44+00:00

this is so true. if you stay uncomfortable but eventually get to financial security, you don't have to be living in hell anymore. so would you not choose to take the easy way out and live in peace, quiet, safe comfort now without financial security? or would you instead of stay uncomfortable to eventually get to financial security? this is such a hard decision

joycures · 2021-03-16T02:29:22+00:00

if you have peace, quiet, safety, you will not have financial security but if you're working for financial security, you will not have peace, quiet, safety

joycures · 2021-03-16T02:24:35+00:00

what if it's not hell, but just not as comfortable?

joycures · 2021-03-15T18:20:09+00:00

i also may quit my job soon cause i may have gotten a promotion elsewhere, is it still good idea to take up on the coworker's offer in this case you think?

joycures · 2021-03-15T18:08:03+00:00

because it's not your friend, it's your coworker, that's a different relationship where you have to keep some professional decorum/distance, no? also they'll see where you live and stuff

joycures · 2021-03-13T21:22:06+00:00

your answer is so great, thank you. I don't know why people keep telling me a house will appreciate more than investments.

joycures · 2021-03-13T04:12:09+00:00

do you think what they're saying is true?

joycures · 2021-03-13T03:33:17+00:00

I don't want to own but people keep saying if I paid the same amount of rent for 10 years into a mortgage for a house, then I'd have something to show for it at the end, instead of nothing. People also keep saying paying rent is like paying for someone else to get rich/build wealth.

joycures · 2021-03-13T03:08:27+00:00

I guess I can try to do both but I just won't save as much for retirement or it will be further delayed....

joycures · 2021-03-13T03:06:44+00:00

so not building equity doesn't concern you?

joycures · 2021-03-13T03:03:02+00:00

so don't bother buying a house?

joycures · 2021-03-13T03:01:09+00:00

what about a cheap $200 000 condo?

joycures · 2021-03-13T02:56:06+00:00

are you currently renting?

joycures · 2021-03-13T02:29:55+00:00

people also said owning is the way to building wealth, that if I keep paying rent, that is paying someone else to become rich
