53 and tired of all the travel.

I want to learn guitar but don’t see how I’ll be able to practice regularly with travel... I feel like weekends won’t be enough to really get the hang of it. Anybody tried this before or have advice?

I have an offer in GDS as manager in consulting with a rank 32. Can someone please explain what this 32 means ? I am curious to understand the chances of any travel opportunities.

I want to spend $10k on a cruise to Antarctica. My wife doesn’t want to go and doesn’t think I should spend the money either. I make 200k and she makes 65k. I worked hard to get a 37k hot skill bonus from all the certs I studied for. We are recently married. I’m discouraged because I feel like I can’t save and spend my money the way I did before. I know marriage is supposed to be united financially, but since we are recently married it’s tough to give up my freedom financially. Advice?

I'm in a bit of a conundrum. Been a teamster for years, just found out I'm close to becoming diabetic. What can I do to keep at least sort of in shape when I travel too much to justify a gym membership?

Consulting is a slap in a face if you are single. You can't use your hotel & flight miles, elite statuses, big bucks that we make and definitely does not make it any easier to find someone! 💔

Good Evening Everyone! I have just recently been honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps and I am returning to finish my Bachelors Degree at Morehouse College here in Atlanta.

Lateraling to the Litigation group of a V10 firm in SF. I’m a junior and so far have had general litigation experience. I know in house opportunities for litigators are limited.

Feeling like my life is racing by being on the road 20 years, and saddens me that when I get home tonight my SO leaves on a business trip.

Anyone experience ageism of late?

Any male 🐟 that can share the experience of starting alpha blockers? I take it at bedtime and feel like I have a head cold in the morning. Dizzy all day too.

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets. Despite there being a significant amount of exceptional talent that could be deployed, there is a big bias against consultants. Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...

Do you use or have you used First Command Financial Planning? If so, what’s your experience with them?

So my brother doesn't talk to me for 6 months.   (I had offered my lake house guest space to my cousin who said yes instead of my brother who didn't know if he could come nor when he might know if he could come, how unfair of me).

On Thanksgiving day mom arrives and tells me that brother might come by in an hour.  He had ignored my invite weeks ago.  (Uh ok, sure).

Wonder how much more of this rat race I can take and starting to think about where to retire. What places are on your list and why? I need ideas and inspiration!

I realize this isn't a dating bowl so forgive me in advance.

Are there any over 50 males serious about meeting an over 50s female?

Life is short and I truly don't know where to meet age appropriate men.

Yesterday my younger brother called me looking for good hidden swimming spots in the mountains. He was up there with a bunch of friends and their original plans had fallen apart hard. And I go much more often than he does.

I told him I had map pins that are EXACTLY what you need for these hard to find places. I can send them in 10 mins when I get home.

Reply? Forget it, I'm all set.

Yep, 10 mins is too long. Here I was expecting "Wow! That's fantastic!" How silly of me.

We are buying a house and my knee jerk response was to look at a 30 year fixed mortgage (because that’s what I’ve always done). I realized last night that a 30 year mortgage might outlast me. Having a bit of an existential crisis now.

I will be 50 in January. Close enough? I am a consultant in the data analytics, expertise is in Adobe Analytics.

Instead of watching tv (and all the crappy political ads) I got hooked on Star Trek The Next Generation on Netflix. Started on season 5.
