I’m shocked at how much it cost me to fill my gas tank on my way to the office this morning. I can
imagine it’s only going to get worse as things between Russia and Ukraine keep escalating. It’s
enough to make me want to reconsider sharing a tiny at home office with my wife!

Tell me about it! I have to drive 45 min to an hour for work. Then again, this is nothing compared to what Ukrainians are going through (not that it's c ontest, but just to shift perspective) I really hope things would get better soon for everyone affected by this war.

Yes, the prices just keep on rising! Lucky you, hope you do get to. For real though, this made me wish we'd be allowed to remain working from home until things settle down.

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
