I am 62 years old with "some college" as they say. I never had a teacher of any color but white ☹️

Edit to add that my daughter, now 40, had her first of several teachers that were not white in 2nd grade. My granddaughter, now 17, had her first in kindergarten. Times changed, thank goodness.

You are absolutely doing it the right way! Your grandfather knew what he was doing when he left you the money. Enjoy your life. That is a gift to your grandfather!

My brother and I got one every year. Hands down, butterscotch 😋

I don't get married and go to college instead

I started when I was 23 with $10 a payday ($20 a month). Mainly to get my nagging mother off my back. I put it in a secondary retirement account and everytime I got a raise. I put a few more dollars a month in. I retired at 54 after 30 years on a government job (IT).

Thanks mom!

Don't "should" all over yourself. Do what is right for you without willfully hurting others.

And

Be careful what you're good at because you will be stuck doing that thing.

Gems from my silent generation mother who passed recently. The second one she said to me when I said I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting promoted. I do EVERYTHING in my department. She said that was the problem. I started slowly not doing it all. First, I was less stressed and within 2 years I was promoted. Promoted twice more before I retired. I miss my mom.

My in-laws still have and use a whole set of these Looney Tunes glasses. Don't get me started on the huge bobble head collection they have. All sports related.

I was born in 1964. Still future dead person. I may live longer than my parents, but still gonna be dead eventually.

And, honestly, my dad was 94 and my mom was 86 when they died. So I feel I have a good chance of living another 20 or 25 years (I'm in good health).

My immediate supervisor never spoke directly to me after I put in my retirement papers. I worked for 3 weeks after I put the papers in. I kid you not, he would talk to one of my coworkers and have them come to me. "Jerry needs this or that." I'd send what he needed directly to him. It was comical.

My leftover hobbies from Covid lockdown is I still make my own peanut butter, jam, and sandwich bread 🤣

Real butter, fresh or frozen vegetables. We had margarine and canned vegetables only.

Yes. When my supervisor blocked my transfer (because he was awful) I put in my 2 week notice. When asked by HR why? I told him that I was told I couldn't transfer to another department and I didn't want to stay in a place where I couldn't grow. Wouldn't you know, I was offered the transfer I wanted. More money didn't come for 6 months but that's not why I wanted out.

I'd buy a small modest house in Southern California. Actually, that might not be enough money 🤔

I agree. I'm more forgiving and much more patient. I'm happy where I am in life and not having to go to work everyday is much of the reason. I feel bad for people having a bad day at work. Been there.

That said, I have decided to not give businesses a second chance if I get really terrible service. But I would never berate a worker.

Ghostbusters!!! I still love that movie

Because it was tasty 😋

My mother always told me, "Be careful what you're good at because that is where you'll stay." She was absolutely correct!!

I cut it off the cob and eat it in chunks with lots of butter 😋

You really didn't need to post this. Sooooo many people already have it memorized and are actively incorporating each step in their air travel routine.
