@Coleidoscopes I have a small studio condo, "open" by default. I want it "closed". Imagine your bedroom smelling like yesterday's cooked hamburger.

I don't like open-concept The kitchen shouldn't also be the living room

@MarkDGeorge @WireRacing @sonyasupposedly In home care is $37/hr, the worker gets $16/hr. Assisted living residency starts at $6,600/mo and generally up to, what, $8,900 and up depending on how fancy the place is and how much actual assistance is needed.

@WireRacing @EricW97405927 @sonyasupposedly I don't know the current cost either. That's a number someone in the comments mentioned and was around what it cost a while back when our family was dealing with it.

everyone is gonna be so pissed when the supposed "generational wealth transfer" from boomers goes straight to end-of-life care

@MarkDGeorge @sonyasupposedly The caregivers make peanuts. The caregiving companies make bank. Ask me how I know.

@sonyasupposedly Do you think that just lights the money on fire? Or does it pay the salaries of doctors, nurses and caregivers as well as all the businesses that support elderly care products and services?

@sonyasupposedly 100% correct.

@loveanjel02 Goodness gracious.

Wataa 🍑

@ryanalex411 To them, banging boys is less sinful than banging women.

@MEGUZIY Even Chinese people hate cheap made Chinese junk.

拼夕夕购物的惊喜瞬间🤣！

Fact.

@KurtSupeCPA Mom & dad aren't dead yet. They might need that $ for their own legitimate end-of-life care. Assisted living places run $7,000/month.

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

@itsme_urstruly Absolute victory!

I love it no matter how many times I watch it 😂

@ryanwrights @Shaq_0x @PARABOLIT @_tm3k Hm. Only a few people die quickly. For most people dying is a slow long process, made worse by unpayable invoices.

@Shaq_0x @PARABOLIT @_tm3k Die

"Building a legacy" is cringe. Over the last 200 years, it took roughly 2,000 ancestors to get you here. You have 8 great grand parents and you won't even know each of their names. You don't know your grand fathers greatest achievement or his life story. All those people and you inherited nothing. Your great grand kids won't know who you are and won't care that much. They won't experience you until you're old and done, if you're lucky. All you have is here and now, everything else is a psyop to either generate fear or anxiety. Men will cope with "building a legacy" by working so much they never see their kids and leave a gaping hole in their hearts, just so that their grandchildren won't care about what they did. Crazy.

@reallyoptimized And the "developed" beaches w/ access are beyond overrun with homeless, drug addicts, aggressive panhandlers, thugs, etc etc.

Let me explain California to you. Everyone shares pictures like this - look how beautiful, worth the taxes! Look closer. Nobody on the beach. You know why? Because the beach sucks. Pretty in a picture. But the reality is that it's windy, wavy, cold, dark, rocky and just shit. And that's up and down the coast - and it's most of the pictures you see shared. Pretty landscape... But treacherous conditions. And that's basically California in a nutshell. Good for a quick visit because it's pretty - but not actually better than Florida.

@saylordocs Um, no... a credit score is cooked up by the 3 major credit companies (Equifax, Experian & Transunion). It is not given by any governmental entity.

The people who are $36 trillion in debt are giving you a credit score.

@ProudSocialist @BrianMcGinnisNC I'm sorry, but...."exercising free speech" doesn't allow you to take over a meeting like him nor take over a church service like Don Lemon.

NEW: @BrianMcGinnisNC whose arm was broken protesting the Iran war was just on Democracy Now to outline why he is running as a Green party candidate. “My experience at the Senate last week showed me the wall between the people and the government. I want to break down that wall.”

@heavensbvnny The price of convenience is community. Your take is horrible. You want a life of luxury without doing anything for it.

Can I say the quiet part out loud? I don’t want to work a corporate job anymore. I’m tired. It’s exhausting having to make money just to live on this expensive planet that I was plopped onto. I want to live a full life. I want to travel. I want to make lots of friends and love lots of animals. I want to eat good food, read good books, watch good movies, drink good wine and lay on my fucking couch. And I want to NOT have to write a bunch of stupid emails every day in order to earn those things.

@rawmilkhoney "Travelling" is one version of the relentless pursuit of being entertained. It creates or builds nothing. You are a despised tourist everywhere you go. Meanwhile your home community needs involvement.

I don’t understand people’s obsession with traveling. I’ve been to several different countries and tbh it’s just boring and feels like just some giant cope people do when they just have 0 purpose. Like congrats you paid thousands of dollars to be around dirty nasty foreigners who hate you just to see the same exact sights you could see in America all because you hate yourself and your life

@EboEmakhu @itsme_urstruly Cats have boundaries. People who dislike cats cannot tolerate others having boundaries.

@itsme_urstruly The cat is NEVER gon forget this ride across its 9 lives. So wholesome, even though I detest cats😭

Bro pulled off the best video of his life

@gskylerfan She's perfect

Wataa

@beeneeks @jonbrooks I wonder if a lot of them won't be inherited but instead will be sold off to pay for elder care.

Nobody wants a 3,500 sq ft boomer house. Gen Z doesn't want it. Millennials can't afford it. Foreign buyers are gone. These homes are becoming stranded assets. And there are thousands of them sitting on the market right now.

@glenn_tunes I agree with his point. But he is not simply "exercising free speech" any more than Don Lemon was when he barged into that church.

JUST TO BE CLEAR, AMERICA IS MASSIVELY UNDER-REACTING TO A SITTING US SENATOR BREAKING THE ARM OF A MARINE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST TRUMP'S ILLEGAL IRAN WAR.....🤬
