I feel much the same about my retirement prospects and the current economic outlook. It is discouraging. But, hey, it's probably just our imagination, cuz inflation is under control and the economy is the best it's ever been.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 5:29 amCrazy thought about what you posted.JKLivin wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 7:14 pmThin Kelly Clarkson was hot.Feral wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 5:30 pm Does it make me a bad person to want to hurl every time, checks notes, Kelly Clarkson comes on in a commercial for Wayfair?

Fat Kelly Clarkson annoys me to no end.
I was going to respond by asking if you feel that way about most women who went from "thin" to "fat" and then ask you if there have been any fat women in your life that you have loved.
Here is what's crazy, I don't recall having a single fat female close relative (mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, cousin) other than my Aunt Marie. I did love her.
Have I ever loved a fat woman other than Aunt Marie? Maybe at the time I knew them I thought I loved them but looking back - probably not.
Moving on.......
At the moment it annoys me that I have a beautiful view of the sunrise over the lake (Michigan) and I know a year from now there is a decent chance I will no longer have the view because the rent price where I live will be too high for me and I will be "forced" to move in to an apartment that I will prefer NOT to live in over my current apartment.
Call it what you will but the current cost of living sucks for me.
If I knew I was going to die in the next 5 years I would actually be happy. I would retire and live somewhat happily ever after. Problem is if I retire I know I will end up living much longer than 5 years and will/would inevitably end up "trying to make ends meet" in my later years.
Perfect set up for someone to respond that long posts and sob stories annoy them.
You're welcome!

maybe you shoulda chose a different profession
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

I think you are/were addressing JK. If so, yeah - my guess is he had other options.
I would have chosen to be a professional hockey or fottball player if it was a realistic option for me. Instead I chose "finance". You would think that is a pretty good choice - for most people. Wasn't such a good one for me. Should have gone in to the short fat bald old male model industry. I could have made serious $.

I make a good living in the context of reasonable inflation rates.
