“I feel behind on my retirement savings?”

behind_on_retirement

I’m 33M. I currently have $31k in my Roth IRA. I’m a graduate student, and I don’t have an option for a 401(k) plan currently. I sold my motorcycle recently, and that enabled me to max out my 2023 Roth IRA contributions plus put another $1,300 towards 2024. Part of me feels like I’m doing okay, but due to the ever-increasing cost of housing, food, insurance, and transportation, a big part me feels like I’ll never be able to save enough to retire. At 7% interest, if I max out my Roth IRA every year until I’m 65, I’ll have just over $1M in retirement savings. I know that sounds like a lot, but after inflation, kids/family, and COL increases, I don’t know if that’s going to be enough. I just feel like I’m running out of time.

“I’m not physically attracted to my wife and have never been. Married 6 years.”

I married someone who embodied qualities I had not found in anyone else before. She has a huge heart and is extremely clever. Unfortunately, I don’t find her physically attractive which has put a strain on our marriage since the beginning. My previous ex I went after solely because of her appearance and that was about the best thing I could say about her.

“My bestfriend cheated on her boyfriend. Should I tell him?”

This girl is my (f23) best friend since we were kids. I’ve spent 10+ years being her friend but I can tell you she’s not a nice person. She has never been true to anyone in her life.

She cheated on her wonderful boyfriend with her toxic ex while they were living together and were committed to each other. She told me blushing and asked me to keep it a secret. It’s been 2 years since I’ve known and it eats me to hide it from that genuinely nice man.

How Facing the Past Sets You Free

facing the past

We all carry wounds from our past – scars etched into our hearts by the painful experiences we’ve endured. For some, these wounds are mere scratches, fading with time and leaving only faint reminders.

But for others, the hurts of yesterday are like deep, festering gashes that refuse to heal. They whisper to us in the darkest corners of our minds, haunting our dreams and casting shadows over our waking moments.
