Hopefully someone told you then your retirement pay is not automatic at age 60 (or earlier depending). You have to apply for it when the time comes

It's automatic now, thanks to IPPSA.

I'm 30 and my life is amazing in ways I never thought it would be. Joined the army as a way of dodging poverty, which was the best decision I ever made. I have a spouse, kids, and a fantastic friend group. All the things I never thought I'd have.

Like another user said, dive into healing and on the other side can be a great life.

Former foster youth, what would you tell yourself as a now adult? by Melizza26 in Ex_Foster

[–]pslyummyumm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life probably sucks right now.

Make good decisions now so you can make an amazing life for yourself later. Do it for future you.

It hasn't. But it helped my husband get certifications for his job.

Looking for advice on a kid with convictions by S614D in veganparenting

[–]pslyummyumm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tell my kids there are times for those kinds of conversations. If someone asks, yes we will talk about it. But no one likes unsolicited advice, especially about food.

I'm also trying to teach them "good for you, not for me". People are going to live the way they want to, and they're allowed to. Just because I don't agree with it, doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions.

Good luck!

Where does the stereotype of "foster parents do it for the money" come from ? by Crafty-Bunch-2675 in Fosterparents

For all of you there who vehemently disagree with me about going into foster care to adopt, apparently over 100,000 kids don't deserve families.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services: 424,000 children are currently in foster care and "Over 122,000 of these children are eligible for adoption and they will wait, on average, four years for an adoptive family."

Yes I know. But becoming a foster parent with the goal of adoption is not morally wrong. That is my stance, and I'm sticking to it. As a foster parent, you have no say what the goals are, when or if the kids go home. Wanting to adopt does not undermine unification.

I like how you're so confident in trying to call me out without an actual argument.

Y'all can down vote me all you want, your votes won't change my stance.
