Why are people so cheap when it comes to spending money on their family? A few well-timed gifts of money could've helped me so much in my 20s. Or, I see people getting massive loans on stuff all the time that doesn't matter but helping their kids pay for college? Forget about it. It baffles me

It's the toxic "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality of people who have no grasp (through wilful ignorance) of how challenging things have become for the younger generations.

For real. This isn't post WW2 where everything was easy peasy anymore. It's infuriating how hard it is to do anything. Just getting your car repaired can set you back months

I don’t know. I remember watching game shows when I was younger, and so many people wanted to put money away for their kids' college. As somebody who had to figure ALL of that out, it baffled me that people actually did that. On a nicer note, I will be putting away something for my kids to help them.

Something will be better than nothing. Looking into the 529 plans as well.

It must be a cultural thing, I have never encountered that (in a Chinese household), my parents were so selfless they would give everything they have for their kids. I have already put money away for my kids’ higher education.

It very well could be. I'm glad you had that experience and that you're also saving for your kids. I think its the responsible thing to do.

Gotta teach grit

funny

Nahh, there’s a difference between teaching grit and just watching people suffer knowing you can help out, especially loved ones

I believe my family would never let me be homeless, but they definitely don’t help with debt. It’s just kind of how they roll

Right?!
It irritates me so much the parents that have the mindset of “when you turn 21 you’re on your own”. Like you didn’t bring these kids into this world lol. You should support them no matter what and help where you can!!
Kids won’t wanna help their parents when they are old if they don’t get help when they need it!
So with you on this

"People just want it to work" is a thing clients have said about the product the company I work for makes. It's true. And it's all over.

Anyone else feel this way? Has Agile worked for you and your clients?

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team.
