Children (be they your own or unrelated children you have responsibility for) are people, not property or pets or whatever. Treat them as such. They're just people with less experience and more vulnerability.
this was an interesting thought, OP. a shame nobody seems to have understood the assignment
If you don't understand how to do something, type the problem into YouTube, also its never too late to put money into a savings account
fucking relax, take a break sometimes, let time fly and just don't give a shit
"but I have responsibilities!!!!!!"
fuck em, put your legs up on the coffee table and I dunno... just stop and think about the minute shit around you. or reminisce. have you called jon recently? fuuuuck man you should hit him up. ohhh you can't arrange a date to meet? then fucking get that one day yourself to meet with him whenever he can
i see so many people over 30 be overworked, overstressed and downright complacent with all the shit they have to go through
just fuck it all for at least one day man, cause if that's what life's supposed to be then i don't wanna get old, just to be surrounded by those who are letting all of life's bullshit control every little fiber of them
I've thought about this from time to time. Have we been kind of a neurotic generation? I could never tell if it was just me that was seeing things or what. The under 30s seems more indifferent. Might be because they are mostly the children of Gen-X? Are over 30s a bit uptight? How did we end up this way?
From personal experience growing up so many kids were obsessed with the rat race from way too young. That whole mindset that you must to university to get all your credentials to fit yourself into a cookie cutter. The defacto life track until the illusion started to crack.
All in all I think the over 30 generation has a really hard time with self reflection. In particular talking about the faults of our own generation. Which is paradoxical against the whole mental health awareness stuff.
Give less of a shit of what your peers will think of you, do your own thing as much as you're able. And also read leftist shit, be it Marx or Goldman, that will make you a better person overall.
I don't know if it's even possible anymore (heck it's hard for me at 40), but try to put something in retirement funds. If your work as a 401k, try and contribute. If you leave the job, your money can then go to an IRA. How do you do that? Beats me - I have five or six requirement accounts, each topping out at around between $2-5k.
Also, brush your teeth and if you grind them in your sleep - get a dentist to fit you for a mouth guard.
Edit: wow, down votes for teeth health.
Edit edit: reading comprehension isn't my strong suite.
It's because you fucked up the assignment. Under 30 give advice, over 30 receive advice.
I've "rolled" a couple 401ks into a Vanguard account. Just set up a Vanguard traditional IRA (or Fidelity is good too) and follow their instructions. In both my cases my old 401k admin sent me a check and I forwarded it to Vanguard within a certain time frame. If you don't know what fund to choose just pick "Vanguard Target Retirement XX" for whatever year you turn retirement age (Fidelity has equivalents).
The reason I say Vanguard or Fidelity is because they have rock bottom fees and also they are huge so they've worked this out with basically everyone.
Fidelity is good, but Vanguard has lower fees. Stick in all in their S&P 500 index.
Please dont downvote thinking it’s a crypto troll reply. It’s an inside joke because OP has replied to my posts on Monero in the past :-)
People older than 45, what advice would you give to people younger than 30?
