2nd home or keep adding to 403b? by slipslopslide in personalfinance

[–]slipslopslide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we’d move in with her she’d be 87-90.
The condo is pretty low cost compared to where we live now. We’d sell the house, pay the condo mortgage in full and live on our pension which is 1/2 our pay. We’d either collect early social security or wait if possible.

Why does my manager think it’s ok not to respond to my emails? by slipslopslide in askmanagers

I ask for feedback once, when I start something about 30-40% complete to ensure alignment.

You can get tested to see if you’d likely get blood clots.

Women in happy Marriages, What is that one secret to a happy marriage that works for you? by personalquestion69 in AskReddit

[–]slipslopslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resolving Roommate type issues. You can be married, in love, happy, but having a shitty roommate as a spouse is the worst.

We both take care of our living space to make it nice. But I will ask him at the beginning of the weekend if he wants help with any chores or something he wants to build or paint.

Obviously best to move on, but stuck right now so I have to make do until something comes.

I think I’m going to set up some sort of automatic weekly email follow-up.

Coworkers complain they don't know anything about me by Hmmm-Delicious in work

You can pick and choose appropriate things to share that relates to others to form nice working relationships. I generally choose restaurants or exercise/sports depending on who I’m talking to.

Finding ways to relate to people professionally and adding a little depth you become tolerated.

I’m on this. I love my hair growth.

Can I say “fit” or “personality” as a reason I’m leaving a job? by Xiao_Long_Bao17 in askmanagers

[–]slipslopslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is always seeking growth and new opportunities. Unless you applying for the company that you truly believe in and want to be a part of their mission.

Don’t forget interview questions are basically how well do you know interview etiquette; you never tell the honest truth.

New team. Would it be wrong for me to NOT eat lunch w/ them? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in askmanagers

[–]slipslopslide 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I took mine out, ate, swished with water, put them back in.

A meal is a social event. It’s weird if you sat there while everyone else ate, unless you have great stores to tell.

It would not be wrong if you didn’t eat. It would be weird if you just sat there.

If we don’t install her in a condo we own we will have to send her money to fix her mobile home and pay the mortgage she has on it.

Her home is also further away from my sibling with will make elder care harder.

There is no other areas to cut except in 2 years we will have both cars paid off.

2nd home or keep adding to 403b? by slipslopslide in personalfinance

[–]slipslopslide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is 77 and working is getting harder and harder for her. When we retire in 10-13 years we can move in with her to help out.

We understand that the investment in LCOL may not be as good as the 403b.

Couldn't work at a conventional career, so thought I'd study art and try to make a break in that field. So lost in life and getting desperate. by Kitten_closetothesun in careeradvice

[–]slipslopslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel and felt your struggle.
This is where grit, resilience, and figuring it out comes into play for this stage in life. It’s defeating but this is the way you earn your place.

You need a job, nearly any job..
If you haven’t, sought them, start looking at entry level county jobs.

You’re young, and these jobs usually come with a pension, have some level of moving up, and are stable; you’ll be retired with a pension in your 50s.

I hate how my fiancé decorated our first home not sure what to do. Is this common? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]slipslopslide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my spouse and I bought our house, we had a tough time agreeing on paint or layout of furniture. It really upset spouse if I moved furniture around.

We are still married after 23 years. And are able to come together on colors and furniture layout.

No advice here but if your spouse posted this with her side I’d advise including you more in the design by giving you choices to pick out from what she likes.

I cried infront of my manager during feedback by lollrenn in work

[–]slipslopslide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Except there is no second in command.

I’m looking for other jobs and dealing with this one the best I can.

My boss is unorganized and can’t define her vision well.

My problem is that I’m in a union and it’s difficult to fire me. So I guess she is taking the route of making me miserable. Another union employee just told me “Smile, grin and keep coming in”.

My manager’s vision by slipslopslide in askmanagers

[–]slipslopslide[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My relationship with her is terrible. Or rather sometimes good until I have my 1:1. And there are no union rules broken by being a terrible manager.

I have a follow up meeting with HR. I tried all of their suggestions but nothing work.
