This is my dream too.
Being rich would be amazing, but my dream is to be comfortable enough to be able to say, "I want to go somewhere nice on holiday this year," and actually have that be easily done.
Is it student loans? I've never really understood why people can't. Money is a touchy subject with people you know.
I don't understand you non understanding....Not everyone has disposable income
nvm
I am no youngin but there are situations in life that come up that sometimes put people on hard times. That's all
Exactly, honestly we were doing great a few years ago and were almost debt free, could do most anything we wanted then my husband got crushed by an excavator at work, was in a wheelchair for 6 months. Couldn't work for a year and a half and we have been paying for it ever since. Unfortunately it wasn't his fault nor was it equipment failure or anything like that. Just a co-worker's negligence. There's no one to "sue" to make up for our lost income and increase in other bills due to this. It was just bad luck and bad timing that completely changed our lives in about 2 seconds. It's hard and it sucks and I am tired of it but it's what we were dealt. I will be glad when I can quit working so damn hard to make up for it.
That truly blows, were you all stuck with all of the medical bills too?
Fortunately workman's comp took care of that. There were millions in medical bills. We would have truly had to file bankruptcy if so. But WM'S comp did not even begin to cover the lost income that he brought in. Plus we had to hire a lawyer to get that out of them. They covered about a third of his lost income for a year and a half. That's a lot of lost income that I had to make up through extra jobs. Also drained our nest egg we had going. He is back to work now but unable to work as much as he did before considering his whole pelvis and upper thighs are screwed back together.
Did I ever think something like would happen to us, hell no I didn't! Don't ever think that you will always be financially secure, it can change in the blink of an eye. Literally.
This is the kind of story that should be shared by people when trying to persuade someone to but disability insurance.
Right, with his new employer they offer all of that, aflac, short term and long term disability.. bet your sweet *kitten* we signed up for it as soon as we could.
I have all sorts of insurances that people think are dumb, but you know what that means based on my luck? I will be protected from all the bad stuff because I am "wasting" the money on the insurances. So in the end I am okay with it.
I am ok with it too. We have had it in the past, unfortunately the employer he was with at the time of the accident only offered health insurance. None of the extras. I told him not to take the job but I lost that fight. I just had a bad feeling about the company from the get go but it is what it is now.0 -

A cup of joe for a naked 20? Yup.
I feel I should be honest, it's either going to be a naked 20 or I will be sitting in the corner rocking, feeling my hair grow and freaking out. You will be taking a 50/50 chance here. Bonus is I might still strip naked either way.2 -

Because you have so many names or because that book wouldn't hurt enough?

I wouldn't have multiple volumes for certain people. Those people deserve a body slam, or a hit to the head with an object. 0 -

Lol. I will need two books. Sure, violence is the answer for some, but there are a select group that I prefer to inflict emotional trauma on. Cuts and bruises heal, I like to really leave my mark. some people deserve the prolonged suffering. I thought no I would feel better, and my relationship with that person, would be better once I get that punch, hit or slam out. 0 -

I get this. I used to be like that. I carried so much guilt over something that happened so long and it affected most aspects of my life until I decided enough was enough. Forgave myself, forgave the other person and now i realize that forgiving the people who hurt me it's so much better than carrying that with you. It's toxic to your soul. I live a better life now, now that I know forgiveness can be done.
I carry a lot of guilt over failed relationships (friends/family). Some of it is internalized, but a lot of it is because of how I was treated while I was engaging in those relationships. In a similar vein, having survived sexual assault, there is a lot of guilt wrapped up that as well (even though I know deep down that what happened to me was not my fault). So for me to be able to forgive myself (finally) for the one, but not the other just ceased making sense to me. I also think it was causing me a lot of unnecessary anger.CanesGalactica wrote: »Sometimes forgiving others is extremely hard, so it's no surprise that forgiving oneself is ten times more difficult.
Another good sign. You expect more from yourself than you do others, indicating an excellent moral compass.
Personal growth is good. Just a pity I had to learn a lot of things through numerous trial and error. I suppose that's how it's supposed to be, though.

Currently, I am wondering how many "second chances" you should give someone you know/knew. Is it worth it to keep giving them chances or is there a cutoff when you say "No, I've had enough."? If a person has proven consistently that they are unreliable, self-absorbed and/or only interested in your company when no one else will pay attention to them, is there really a point?
I feel ten years' worth of second chances is probably several hundred chances too many.2 -

I'm the type who gives several hundred chances. I forgive over and over and over until I reach the level where I'm totally done, then there is absolutely no turning back. No more chances. Although I'll forgive, I'll no longer accept.1 -
Hey guys, as some of you know, i had a baby lastnight, he is good and doing all the things hes supposed to, but his lungs weren't quite ready to be used, so he is in NICU.

I think I've finally reached that point, honestly. Total forgiveness is taking some time, but I'd rather do that than be angry about this for the rest of my life.1 -

I give WAY too many chances but once I am done, I am done. I will keep giving chances till that point then once I have had enough whether it be 6 months or years, I can turn as cold as an ice cube in an instant and never look back. I think ten years worth is quite enough. You have to look out for you and that sounds extremely draining.2 -

Good for you. Forgiveness is about yourself and not the person who wronged you.1 -
I wonder at what age women start wearing big gaudy jewelry all the time. I also wonder if there's a male equivalent kind of fashion I need to avoid as I get older.0
