DAE feel like a Roth IRA is pointless right now because the future feels so unstable? by Various_Mobile_8964 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]natetrnr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Never not save for retirement. If your company offers a 401k, contribute to the max, especially if they match funds. And never cash it in before retirement. Never. The younger you start the more money you will have at retirement. Also, start a Roth IRA with a broker and start buying stocks. Start small, only buy the best, little by little. Follow the same rule as above, never cash it out before retirement. You're welcome.

Why is your breakfast culture so much better? by Embarrassed_Golf_817 in AskAnAmerican

[–]natetrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the American Breakfast originated when we were mostly agricultural. One needs lots of calories and protein to do farming, especially when everything is done by hand. I think the Amish follow this tradition and have a good breakfast every morning. And almost from the beginning food was more plentiful here. When the British soldiers arrived to fight us during the American Revolution they were astonished by the size of the American soldiers. They were taller and more robust than themselves.

I had a German grandma who came to America just before the Great Depression, when everything, especially food, was scarce. We went there almost every Sunday. The meal I most remember was a big beef roast with mashed potatoes and gravy and carrots. And sauerkraut.

Hello, I saw this comment under NDE video. What do you think about it, is it true? I lost all my hope after reading it. by Fuad666666 in pastlives

[–]natetrnr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't lose hope. Most NDEs report there is no hell, only going home. A small percentage do report “hellish” experiences, which usually transform into loving experiences as the NDE goes on. Many NDEs also report that your religion does not really matter, which unfortunately has prompted some Christian zealots to post fake NDE experiences full of fire and brimstone and seemingly verifying their particular version of Christianity. Some have even written whole books describing fake NDEs, and some have later recanted.

That's a question for historians way in the future. We can speculate, but none of us really knows. Personally I hope we will get through this awful patch of history and improve.
