re: The lack of prep people do for travel is astounding
Posted by Salmon on 5/30/26 at 9:19 am to athenslife101
I have friends that do this. One in particular will travel a place, and the only research they will do is the hotel and how to get there. That's it.
"We like to discover things while there."
frick that.
I'm already planning/researching our 2028 family trip :lol: I'm down for being spontaneous, but I want some level of knowledge and things to do in case we don't find anything interesting.
I also research restaurants a lot, because I want the best meals while traveling.

Definitely wouldnt do it for male teachers, just sounds a bit pansy for a man to call a younger man Mr.

can you guys really not tell that is AI?

shut up Darth
let me have this
I'm still young dammit
The only thing I know about travel ball is every single one of my buddies complains non stop about it, every weekend they will send pics at 8 pm on a Sunday captioned "I just want to go fricking home" or "Why did we have to win?"
Yet they will also post a pic of their kid with the caption "Love watching him do what he loves" on social media every weekend as well
I mock them ruthlessly for it

re: How Many of You Have Inherited Significant Assets?
Posted by Salmon on 5/27/26 at 2:50 pm to RanchoLaPuerto
I will inherit my parents home and property, which if things keep progressing as they have, will be easily worth 7 figures.
I don't plan on selling it though. We plan on living there.

i did not know how good i had when my old company matched up to 9% full and $.50 up to 14%. Luckily i took advantage of it
I started with a new company last year.
They put in 10% into my 401k no matter if I put anything in or not and then will match 100% up to another 8%.
I'm riding this as long as they keep doing it.
I honestly didn't know companies were still doing this much anymore.

For which one of you?
Definitely for me. Hopefully for him as well.
I had an older coworker who always talked about how close he was to retirement. He was in his mid 60s.
One day he walks into my office and shows me his check stub and asks "What is this 3% they are taking out of my check?"
I told him that was the default % for his 401k and if he wanted to up his contribution, he just needed to go into his account.
He looked at me with blank eyes and said "What is a 401k? I can't afford for them to take 3% of my check. I need them to stop taking my money."
I was completely baffled. We had a long conversation and he admitted that he had never saved anything and was purely going to depend on SS. But this was also a man who lived a lifestyle that a senior level person in O&G could afford.
This was a fairly successful, and what I thought, intelligent person, and he had never once considered anything for retirement or how we was going to afford his lifestyle, he just assumed it would all work out.
It was a very eye opening conversation.

the little humor kills me
like when the dude came to kill Warren and Sarah had to point to Warren so he wouldn't stab her
or when Patricia wrote "are you mad at me" to non dead Warren because he wouldn't talk to her :lol:
