First-run Millennial. Pro Liberty - and that means *all* of it. Party-line takes suck.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Marriage has been incredibly rewarding. From riding motorcycles together (yes she rides her own) on route 66 to fixing up two houses, touring ireland, raising dogs...marriage continues to be worth every second.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Not allowed: lying or tolerating it. It depends: making significant calls using community resources if partner is unable to be contacted.

@MurrayHillGuy1 At 43 and happily married to my "10" for 16 years, explain it to the young bloods like this: The 20's experience is a great stop on an even more amazing train ride. Don't miss it by staying on the train but be damn sure you don't miss the departure when it's time.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@ZubyMusic ...and if you know you are definitely self/spouse centered it's totally okay to embrace that. I've taught over 1800 some odd students in publoc k-12 and believe me we don't need any more parents who arenr't 100% emphatically in.

@MurrayHillGuy1 Not cooked - just depends on the guy. When I married my wife I chose her over my family. Didn'y mean love stopped - just that shes now #1. Expected the same from her. She's gonna be there long after they're gone, simple as. Married 16 years now.

@shagbark_hick No diss - but many are also desert enjoyers as you have written about. They like relative freedom those places (outside cali etc) bring.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@shagbark_hick If propagandizing worked well enough to overcome family culture, believe me we would use it to fix behavior in the classroom. 🤣

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@MurrayHillGuy1 White guy/latina married 16 years can confirm.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@TheGr8Xander @MurrayHillGuy1 No prob. Marriage can be either drama or peace and systems create that. When my wife and I have a conflict the first question I ask is what's wrong with the system that should have made this irrelevant? No system means create one.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@TheGr8Xander @MurrayHillGuy1 Yep. 1k per person. That leaves 10k for Mortgage/bills, emergency fund contribution, sinking funds for home/cars/vacation, and post-tax investment accounts.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@TheGr8Xander @MurrayHillGuy1 1000. 12000 monthly budget.

@shagbark_hick Teacher of 15 years here - beyond the academics, the biggest benefit of public school is learning to adapt to the realities of gen pop and accept the limitations of rule enforcement. It produces adults who can cope with not every speeder getting pulled over without imploding.

@WifiMoneyPlant Married at 27, 43 now. I think late 20s is the sweet spot.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@Melda1384191 43 years old today, bought first house at 30.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@EmrickDoc69 Sounds bout right. I think my timeline was 6 months from 1st kiss to married - 16 years now. When you know, you know.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@WayneGunter8 True, but on that trajectory of thought I'd be carrying around a polished/nickel Colt single action. Big big soul. Unmistakable sound. Actually. Maybe I'm on to something here. =P

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@thefutabomber I own both, tbh the shotgun would be my choice. Birdshot in home distances is quite tight spread and effective. Paul Harrell did a vid on this - it's out there. What it won't do is penetrate like greentip 5.56.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@zekramu As with everything - depends on 5he context and property in question.

[Mistwalk @Mistwalk101]

@anymanfitness This. I actually just use dumbells now. A solid selection of weight, an incline/decline bench, and some sort of treadmill/bike combo is all a dude over 40 needs equipment wise to be fit for life. Other stuff is nice but not a need.
