that I'm gonna die one day

like

For me, comfortability and being able to live life to the fullest (or to the best money can buy).

In a grander scale, leaving with a legacy / creating generational wealth.

like

Fear

like

Being able to buy food to survive.

Buying a vacation home so I can work from the lake.

Providing a good life for my cat

Student fucking loans.

Not that I focus my life on paying them down quickly, but working hard so that my income will grow to allow me to live comfortably within my means while paying them down in a standard repayment structure (10 years - 7 remaining).

I absolutely do not regret having kids young or getting married to my amazing wife, but I do regret the amount of student debt we have.

I did it all for the nookie.

Fear of failure

Fear of working 16 hours a day 7 days a week.

Hello Everyone! Had a discussion yesterday regarding “claw backs” being included in a policy for sponsorship if the new employee leaves before 3 years. It was a declining percentage over a three year period. My POV was that it wasn’t something I’ve ever done and didn’t seem like they were sure of the hire they were making. I get wanting to save costs but at the same time doesn’t feel inclusive or welcoming. Thoughts? Have you done this or seen it work? Thanks!

One of my friends only talks about their SO in conversations. She's done this since they started dating three years ago. She steers the conversation to talk about random stuff he does that's not even interesting and our friends have no clue what's going on with her life, because we only hear about the guy. It's literally stuff like "Adam just got some coffee but was too tired to drink it so he's been watching tv for an hr." How do we ask her to stop? I usually just ignore the stories.

Flew for the first time today. Woman next to me took her mask off immediately upon sitting down and starting chatting loudly with her son. I asked her politely if she could keep her mask on and she proceeded to spend the rest of the flight fake sneezing and laughing giving me the side eye to see my reaction. What an inspirational mother.

Anyone here have a selfish sibling who only cares about themselves and sucks up to parents? But treats you like shit? Mine is polite and jovial in front of others, especially my parents, but wouldn't lift a finger if I was dying. As the older one, it pisses me off because I've done so much for them in our younger years but now get treated like crap since he is the baby and the favorite. I would have preferred we had got a dog and I kept the other half of the inheritance. So frustrated.
