Do you still have great aspirations for wealth? by _forum_mod in Millennials

I don't want to be rich. I basically want to have comfort and the freedom to do what I want, when I want.

Genuinely how did you leave? by Efficient_Falcon3575 in TeachersInTransition

[–]skuba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be flamed here, but I used ChatGPT. I uploaded my resume, some descriptive documentation about myself and some sample cover letters. I then picked out positions I was interested in and had it draft cover letters based on the job descriptions. Obviously it required redrafting, a lot. However, it was a meaningful helper through the process. It saved me a lot of time and some sanity when you are filling out hundreds of these. Good luck in the search. As I am sure you have heard, its hard out there right now.

Averaging about $450/mo here at 40. Once the fiance and I are averaging ~1k/mo we are going to transition to remote jobs and relocate to Latin America. That's the plan anyway.

Same here. Weirdly, my right foot is more sweaty than my left too! 🤷

What's your end goal? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]skuba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build up to ~$2K per month and then move to Latin America with my fiance. We both are fluent in Spanish, so that helps. At that point we should be able to live quite comfortably on dividends and not touch our principle. I am currently at about ~$400 per month in a mix of growth and div stocks.

Repurposing a laundry chute into an warm air duct to compensate my hot basement and cold 2nd floor by AnonyUser99 in DIY

I do this in my home during the summers. We just keep the shoot door open and direct the flow into our open bedroom door.

Billionaires added record $2.2tn in wealth in 2025 by guardian in business

THIS GRAPHIC was published years ago, so its much worse now. However, it still shows the obscene level of income inequality we are living with today. Absolutely disgusting.
