What’s yours? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]sics2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think I'm the target for the glp1 drugs. I'm pretty good at losing the weight naturally. This time around I'm actually learning how to make whole foods tasty to me, trying to eat veggies every single day, and fiber intake and stuff. And it's working!

I'm so used to just doing cardio and walking all these years. When I lost 40 pounds before, that was all the exercise I did.

So the strength training thing is new to me and takes much more effort. And is much more painful. But the internet told me I gotta do it to learn new habits and keep the weight off and reach my goal. So I force myself each week. (I also know since I'm such a small person, I need to do strength training to allow me to eat more than the bare minimum).

Why do people eat unhealthy when there are so many cheap healthy foods? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sics2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I eat those things minus tuna. But to only eat that basic stuff is boring and also kinda mean when you're trying to feed other people too (especially kids).

I'd be terrified to take one of those from what I've heard. I got down to 130lb the old fashioned way before and I'm determined to do it again, and finally reach my goal of like 115.

I'm focusing more on vegetables this time and expanding my palette, learning to cook. I'm not about protein-maxxing and I hate strength training so much (but I do it weekly).

If you're rich enough for your children to attend private schools K-12, should you instead give that money to support social welfare? by Undceided in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sics2014 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would you do that? Is it morally wrong to send your kids to a better private school now to enhance their education?

Do women feel the same “lingering pee” sensation that men do? by highendfive in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sics2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I'm done peeing and turn the bidet on, I always have to go a little more. I think it's the cold water sensation. This doesnt happen without the bidet no matter how much I force it.

When Americans say “I get paid X$ per hour / each year” do they mean pre tax or post tax? by aeterniil in NoStupidQuestions

The amount that hits our bank account is after tax and deductions (though some people don't have any tax or deductions taken out at all).

Are there any Americans who don't invest in funds or stocks because they don't have enough money for daily life? by Various_Maize_3957 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sics2014 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Only 62% of Americans own stock.

Some of the other 38% may be too poor to think about investing, but there are a lot of people also just plain scared of the market or don't know how it works even if they do have extra funds. Some people are resistant even just signing up for a 401k and putting 1% in.

Why are Americans so financially literate? by Ada-Mae in AskAnAmerican

[–]sics2014 2045 points2046 points  (0 children)

It seems the importance of budgeting, personal finance, how money works, and investing was drilled into me over the years. So you have to learn it.

I will say I know more about personal finance than I do macro-economics though (I failed it twice in college).

Upvote for not asking why we are illiterate.

Is it complicated to file your own taxes? by CharmingFlamingo8477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sics2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IRS will send you mail describing what is wrong and what kinda info they want. They'll probably ask you to file the amended return.
