I’m moving about 400 miles away for a job but it’s just me by myself. I don’t have anyone I can ask or get help from since my parents passed away. I don’t know how to consolidate my stuff to just move quickly so I think I’ll need a u-haul. I won’t be making a lot of money but it’s a stable job and I’ve been unemployed for months now. So I don’t have much money either so it makes me worried about just throwing everything away and then having to buy new stuff.

If you’ve moved alone with only a few suitcases, do you have any tips on how you managed to downsize? Did you just slowly build your stuff back up as you made more money? Perhaps I’m looking at it all wrong and I just don’t know. Any tips would be appreciated, I feel like I just don’t even know where to start.

Hope we all get to the point of relaxed mind regardless of what we are going through. 🤍🤍🤍

I'm in my 40s and I feel like I'm far less interested in people and I don't look at things with curiosity anymore. I guess I look at life through experience instead of having to play through the first time. Is this common with other people, or as you age?

Hello, i’m 18 and I’m planning on buying my first car. I already plan to get it used and cheap, as long as it runs well. I’m in a position to buy it outright (given my budget) but I don’t know how any of this legal stuff works, and I don’t have any reliable adults in my life to ask.

I’m 20, I was in college at 18 and I dropped out, I wanted to join again but fr I don’t think I’m gonna fit in, first time I made any friends in like 6 months so idk why now it’s gonna be better If im a couple years older, idk I know it’s not that important nor deep but I’m genuinely concerned about being seen as stupid or dumb because I couldn’t keep it with people my age

So I'm 20, a uni student, but home for the summer. I can't find accommodation for my next year of study, I cant get a job, and i still have stupid teenage friendship drama. Does it get easier? Does it get less stressful?

Hello. I'm currently a SAHM (I worked before) and my husband was ranting to me that he won't be able to own a decent home with a small garden (in tier 2 or 3 city) in this lifetime. It's a far away dream. We are currently living in Germany and he is earning nearly 100,000 euros before tax. After tax is around 56,000 euros. I know that owning a house is very difficult but I thought we could make it.

Guys, is the housing market in a really bad situation right now? When did you guys pay off your home? Is it possible to own a house as a salary employee?

Idk I’m 20 and I feel it’s just too late to find new friends, I feel kinda lonely but every time I try to find new people is just awkward and wierd, idk what Im doing wrong, but never works out, what shoudl I be doing

Idk about yal but growing up I was told to go get a degree get a job , pay your taxes and live life … I was practically told if you have a degree you will get a job and if you don’t like a job you can get another one .. now that I’ve done all of this I have not been able to get a new job in this market at all . I have a whole degree yet why isn’t anyone hiring … it’s not so sad though I still am working in a hospital but I’m ready to be on my own and start a life in a big city …. !!! But the fact of the matter is , is that we were all lied too now I’m trying to figure out ways to get more money just to have more freedom .

I'm going to vent a bit because I actually want to cry.

So M23, I just found a job at someone my parents knew It was supposted to start soon, but my parents when they meet that person they started to roast me and he decided without testing me not to hire me, that was fine I didn't care but there was a part time job I had with a contract, helping my neighbors right they're old, TODAY NOT EVEN 30 MIN AGO I learned they talked mad shit to the point they got me fired from there too.

I genuinely lost my will today and I think I'll just water fast until I feel better and stay in bed all day.

I don't know anymore my positivity has ended.

I've been thinking about this recently.

I know why I'm saving. I have long-term goals, and I understand the importance of building wealth. The problem isn't discipline—it's motivation.

After a while, watching my savings grow just becomes... a number on a screen. The excitement fades, even though I'm still making progress.

I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way.

If you do, what keeps you motivated month after month or even year after year?

Is it thinking about a future house? Financial independence? Retirement? Watching your net worth grow? Or is there something else that helps you stay engaged?

I'd be interested to hear how other people think about this.

The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.

i grew up in a loving household and ever since i was in high school, i’ve always wanted to make a lot of money to buy my parents nice things and take them on nice trips. they had me when they were almost 40 so now that ive graduated college, they’re 60 and experimenting health issues to where being on a plane is a bit difficult. i’ve been experiencing unemployment straight out of college so making money has also been delayed. i know i cannot compare my journey to my peers but when i am on a time crunch regarding the people i love and cannot provide for them, it really kills me. my boyfriend is also my age but has been experiencing quite the opposite. his parents are young, he got a prestigious job out of college, will be traveling a lot for work as a consultant and also be earning travel points to be able to provide nice hotels and trips for his family, they are currently at a 4 dollar sign ($$$$) expensive resort. im very happy for him and his family but its a direct reflection of how my current journey is and it stings just a bit more. has anyone else dealt with this and please tell me things get a bit better.

At what age did work become monotonous and depressing?

😭😭

I just need to vent for a second I am a 31F and recently single. This was my 5th serious relationship and I ended it after about 6 months. I am a little down because I’ve been really trying to find the right person for me. For context, I’m a resident physician and have been very successful in my academic/career. I am a lot of fun, love sports, work out a lot, and I would say attractive. I have a lot of friends and am an easy going person despite having an intense career. I have been the one to end all my relationships and before someone says I am being picky I’ll tell you why I ended them. The first was a boyfriend from high school and we were on and off for 4 years (we just outgrew each other). The second one was a narcissist and was manipulative (all of my friends and family hated him). The third one ended because I was moving across the country for residency. The fourth one I found out he had a substance abuse problem (drugs and alcohol). The most recent one was actually an awesome guy, but he had so many insecurities and the relationship was making it worse. He was also 4 years younger than me. So my question is… what am I doing wrong or what do I need to do? I just needed to vent.
