  • No you don’t understand, you live to work. Be grateful to your corporate overlords for giving you purpose. /s

    I agree. I may on occasion vent about work if it’s especially stressful or if I need to talk through something with a third party but my general stance is that once I close my laptop I’m not talking about it again until I open it up the next work day.






  • Yep. A couple years ago I crossed the 6 figure threshold, which is what I was always told growing up was “good money”. But when you factor in inflation + living in a HCOL area, it doesn’t go nearly that far. I’m mostly comfortable and able to save but that’s because I save/invest religiously and also don’t make large purchases. There is 0 chance I could afford a kid right now.

    And I’m not trying to say I have it the worst, I recognize the privilege I do have making as much as I do/how much less financial stress I have compared to previously. But man, 6 figures was so hyped up as a kid and it just doesn’t have the purchasing power it used to.
