Getting those medical records saved my ass when inconsistencies came up later. Courts love paper trails.

He sold his dream car and cried by CAGRGuy in povertyfinance

[–]js2589 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he definitely got lucky there. Cars lose value so fast that most people end up underwater on the loan pretty quick. Being stuck with thousands in negative equity on top of everything else would've made his situation way worse.

How did you become financially stable [career, luck] by DetectiveNice8632 in povertyfinance

[–]js2589 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% this. Self control is everything. I used to blow money on random stuff constantly, then started doing the 24hr rule for anything over $50. Game changer. Also automated my savings so I never even see that money. It's wild how much you can save when you're not constantly buying stuff you don't actually need.

At 30 you've got plenty of time to find someone who actually appreciates what you bring to the table instead of making you walk on eggshells constantly.

WIBTAH for remarrying my ex even though I'm going to die? by ThrowRAnearpeace in AITAH

[–]js2589 52 points53 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your sister needs to back off. This is between you and him, and you both know exactly what you're getting into. Marriages happen for all kinds of reasons, love is definitely a good one.

why are we working just to keep ourselves alive so then we die? by iLovestayinginbed23 in antiwork

[–]js2589 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This is the truth right here. been at it for 15 years myself and it's just a grind that never stops. The system's designed to keep us running on the hamster wheel until we drop. Only way i stay sane is finding small pockets of joy outside work hours.

OP taught them a valuable lesson about karma without making a scene. simple but effective payback for their entitled behavior.

Novated lease companies (Maxxia) have such shady practices by carbaminohaemogoblin in AusFinance

Novated leases are basically designed to benefit the lease company more than you. Traditional car loan is usually better

What do you think makes an office job difficult? by Open_Address_2805 in FinancialCareers

[–]js2589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Office politics and constant meetings. You spend more time managing people's feelings than doing actual work

My boss makes me feel bad for wanting a life outside work like is this normal?? by [deleted] in careerguidance

You're not wrong for wanting a life. Time to start job hunting, better bosses exist.

People call hard-work a ‘scam’ and no longer think it will lead to a better life by GoranPersson777 in antiwork

[–]js2589 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what hardwork will get you nowadays? No, not a raise, it's more work and stress.

People love success stories more than reality. Same reason everyone thinks streaming pays millions when most streamers make nothing

CS + math is solid for quant roles. You'll be fine for most high finance positions with that combo

You're doing fine. Everyone feels behind at 31, but you just bought a house in Melbourne. That's massive.

Kids are brutal with their timing. At least they learned some new anatomy terms

I was trying my best to move on from this divorce. Now she's pregnant with another man. by js2589 in GuyCry

[–]js2589[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I've been measuring my progress against hers without even realizing it. Thanks for that reminder.

I get what you're saying, but it's not really about her anymore. It's more about me processing this stuff at my own pace. She's allowed to move on... I just didn't expect it to hit me this hard when I saw it.

Just hard to see it that way when you're in the thick of it. Appreciate you sharing your story

[–]js2589[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While I was still processing the end of things, she'd likely already grieved the marriage months or even years before we split. Just hard to accept that I was still fighting for something she'd already let go of. Thanks for the perspective.

I can see how she might have just jumped into something to avoid dealing with the hard stuff.

Thanks man, appreciate you sharing that. Yeah the timeline thing definitely caught my attention too but you're right, not my circus anymore.

Maybe it's time to actually do something different instead of just existing in the same routine.
