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
Between this dating pool and shitty ass economy, I’m about ready to go back to my ex. And that says a lot considering buddy tried to take me off the map.
Amongst all things going on my Alocasia is letting me know that she’s happy with how I’m taking care of her. She’s sprouting a new leaf. Being a plant mom is probably the only reassuring thing I have right now.
You know what everything be going fine until I tell my therapist about my potential dating partner. I mean it’s almost instant that shit goes south after I talk about things with her. 🤔🤨
Heffa I’m watching you 😂
I have been feeling a lot of emotional discomfort lately. Like is this unresolved trauma finally coming to the surface? It’s getting harder to avoid the “crashout” episodes.
I’ve been on the phone with shorty for almost an hour. He has not stopped talking not once. And this conversation has be centered around him. Mind you I have heard this same rant at least 3-4 times. I damn near can recite it with him verbatim. 😒
