We have special neighborhoods that are 55+ only, it would be a huge boon if we had subsidized housing for young married couples full of other families.

Because women have a limited window to have children and have to work with the options available. A woman can’t put off kids indefinitely waiting for partners to stabilize financially, emotionally etc.

My cover letter has always been a 3 row 2 column chart. Column 1 is a job requirement/ideal candidate trait from the job post. Column 2 is an example of how I meet that requirement. I limit it to what seem to be the top 3 asks from the

You can do it for a long time as long as consumers have easy access to cheap debt.

I don't know anyone who has been able to buy a vehicle for MSRP in the last three years.

How possible is it to find cheaper options even if someone wanted to do so? It's nearly impossible to get healthcare providers to commit to a price.

Poor people also often don't have cooking training. We used to teach basic cooking skills in public school but that's fallen to the wayside. If you grew up in a home where you weren't taught to cook (common in working poor ho

There will still be ads but they'll be in the form of sponsored content, embedded ads like when a movie only has GM vehicles.

Anecdotal but I’ve met more than a handful of people across age groups who’ve been switching to dumb phones over the past few years. They all miss having a good camera and maps though.

When I was 17 reviewing college financial aid packages, I was still trusting enough in the social contract that I thought I could only be offered loans that the granter expected I could pay back.

In my family it's already happening. I am one of three siblings all of us late 20s early 30s, grew up middle class in SoCal. My brother went to college in Germany because it was more affordable than attending a 4 year university in our

Does this mean employees age out of working for Google? Once you’re married and have children it’s time to leave Google and the bay?

I think this may be changing as older Americans realize it is their own middle class children who need affordable housing in order to live close by with grandchildren.

Also, beer isn't the deal it used to be. I was recently charged $9 for a corona at a dive bar in Los Angeles, and that was the cash price.

You know what is nice about cash? There's no screen prompting a minimum 20% tip after every transaction.

One thing I’ve wondered if why we can’t carve out social housing for families. There are reasonably priced 55+ communities in prime commuting locations, why can’t we have the same for families?

Everything comes down to the cost of shelter being too high.

by angmarsbane 3y ago
Another cost to RTO. Too expensive to live close to the office, and increasingly expensive to live far from the office and commute in.

If cross-country trains were a viable alternative I'd choose them over flying in a heartbeat.

Or perhaps they merely want to live near their jobs and their spouse’s jobs?

I’ve been taking myself on field trips like this most of my adulthood; jelly belly factory, distilleries, breweries, watchmaking, vinyl pressing, chocolate factories, coffee roasteries. “How it’s made” tours are a top thing I look for when

by angmarsbane 3y ago
I don't think it is an absurd or even high standard to want reasonably priced (30% of income) shelter (whether owned or rented) within a reasonable commuting distance (30 mins one-way) of a job. Am I truly out in left field on this?

The more money you make the higher the potential loss in terms of child support and alimony should there be a divorce.

Perhaps we need a cultural change in parenting, a more relaxed parenting style or more of a village experience where parents can trust teachers, neighbors, bus drivers etc. to reinforce values, expectations, etc. so it isn't all on the

My understanding is that Japan requires dual Japan/US citizens to choose one citizenship when they turn 18. If Japan allowed dual citizenship, they could see dual citizens return and raise families. These dual citizens would enable Jap

One thing I don't see mentioned is that a larger portion of the population spends a lot more time in full-time school, and in part-time school + working which easily delays having children. Is it truly necessary for so many of us to sp

May I ask why you didn’t want a second kid, and why you wanted your wife to go back to work before your child was kinder age (4/5)?

Is there a pecking order for enrollment? If someone needs a class to graduate, and someone else is taking the class simply because it is free and interests them will the student on a graduation track get preference? This change has just inc
