Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
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
I have a good friend who has on multiple occasions recounted what it was like trying to date a single mother. The woman he was dating wanted him to fulfill all aspects of being a father while not being allowed any input on the child. The child would constantly remind him he was not the father so the child didn't have to listen to him. The mom wouldn't get sitters so when they would go on dates she would take the child and make him pay for both of them. I have zero desire to go through any of that.
The dating pool for young men is literally:
-whores
- "nice" girls but who are obese and have an anxiety disorder
-bitchy (if not cunty) girl bosses
-BPD psychos who will love bomb you and then tell everyone you raped them
-post wall "trad wifes" who actually want kids but only after spending their 20s riding the cock carousel
