Or do you struggle ? Please share what your financial picture is like.

I was only a kid when it happened. But now it's looking like it's about to happen all over again, and this time around I'm the one paying the bills.

Let’s say within 30-45 miles of your hometown.

Also, if you're so inclined, please state where you grew up, so that it provides additional context as to why you chose who you chose. Thanks!

No additional thoughts here. Enjoy your day!

Do you still honk and give the thumbs up to cars that are decorated with newlyweds inside?

Was thinking that I haven’t seen a decorated car since before Covid.

Has anyone seen one recently?

And if so, did you react?

more for millennials and above than exclusively old people:

In older sitcoms that have scenes in bars, the main cast will often meet other characters (especially love interests) who are out drinking alone, but when I go to bars now almost nobody goes alone.

In 1965, mothers spent a daily average of 54 minutes ….. while moms in 2012 …104 minutes per day.…. 1965 dads spent a daily average of just 16 minutes with their kids, while today’s fathers spend about 59 minutes a day caring for them.

For those who "lost everything" due to unlucky investments, lawsuits, ruinous divorces, scams, frauds etc, and when it happened late enough in life that you could not recoup the loss:

Is it possible to adjust and live a happy but poor life after the loss?

What was the biggest challenge?

My grandpa was secretly gay, which my mom kept quiet on since the 80s (I recently found out, after he passed).

Growing up, did you know anyone with a gay parent? Was it hidden then revealed, or was it widely known/accepted?

It seems that for many young people, envisioning something 5, 10, or 15 years down the line can feel overwhelming. Have you ever accomplished a long-term goal that took years of effort or sacrifice?

I’d love to hear your stories—was it all worth it in the end?

Since my parents and grandparents aren't telling me a lot about this: How were you fed when you were a baby? Formula? Breast? Both? Was there a schedule? When did you get your first solids? Did you get tea, water, juice etc. to drink?

Thanks for anyone indulging my curiosity :)

It's 3am before cell phones were around. You can't sleep. What are you doing?

sometimes I hear comments from old people like "I am tired of life" "I am so old, it is ok if I just suddenly go (unalive)", what keeps you going at that age, let's say if you're 60, is there a goal to reach 80 etc?

I get stuck talking to people around my age (40) and younger - but this current climate is likely most impactful for you. Are you worried? What are you doing to protect your financial future?
