My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
mother went out so that she could buy the baby nappies. Her husband said they baby wouldn’t stop crying so he hit her and he “wanted to give her something real to cry about”. So he raped her… An 8 days old baby. And he blames the mom for leaving the baby alone with him
romanticize your life, take pretty pictures, feel like the main character, light up a candle, read books, go for a walk, dance to your favorite music, buy yourself presents, do whatever you want, be happy - this is your life, don't let anyone take it from you
actually, i think every girl should turn her home / room into her secret paradise 💕 almost like a dream world away from the harsh outside world. bubble baths, strawberry smoothies, candles lit, soft blankets, her princess sanctuary.
