Confession of the Day

Married 6 years. Together 18 years. Me: (f) 47. Him (m) 50. NO KIDS

Here’re my dilemma. My husband is a millionaire many times over, and retired at 50. He inherited all his money from his mother 4 years ago. We’ve lived together nearly 2 decades.

My sticking point is this: despite his massive inheritance, my husband still charges me a monthly rent and bills me for every tiny expense. I have a modest amount of savings (around $250k), but they are largely tied up in my 401k, so can’t afford to retire anytime soon. I work 40+ hours a week, while Hubby stays home and indulges in expensive hobbies like golf and sailing, and takes long trips without me. Is it unreasonable of me to expect him to share his good financial luck with me?

Why is Five Guys So Expensive?

five guys expensive

As a former patron of Five Guys, I’ve recently decided to hang up my burger-eating hat and call it quits with this particular chain. Their steep prices have finally gotten the better of my patience and wallet. From my perspective, it’s hard to justify spending so much on a fast-food meal, no matter how good it tastes. So, let’s dive into the reasons behind Five Guys’ premium pricing – reasons that, according to the company, make their food worth the extra dollars, but for me, they’ve become deal-breakers.

Understanding and Managing Intrusive Thoughts

Unwanted intrusive thoughts are a common but often misunderstood aspect of mental health. These thoughts are sudden, distressing, and can be shockingly vivid. They can range from socially inappropriate ideas to violent or sexual images, leading to significant anxiety and distress. Understanding and managing these thoughts is crucial for mental well-being.

Picture of the Day

In the late 1960s, the military demands of the Vietnam War meant that over 200,000 American men had to be drafted every year.  In 1969, the Selective Service System instituted a random drawing of birthdates to decide who would be called. As men were needed, the Selective Service System would call up men according to the order that their birthdates were drawn in the lottery.  (Thus, those with a low lottery number knew they were very likely to be drafted.  Those with a high lottery number could hope that the military’s manpower needs would be filled before their turn came.)

According to the National Archives, there were about 27 million American men eligible for military service between 1964 and 1973. Of that number, 2,215,000 men were drafted into military service. Around 15 million were granted deferments, mostly for education and some for mental or physical problems.

There were more than 300,000 draft evaders in total, of which 209,517 men illegally resisted the draft while some 100,000 deserted. Among them, around 30,000 emigrated to Canada during 1966-72.

In 1977, on his first day in office, President Jimmy Carter controversially offered a full pardon to any draft dodgers who requested one.

Embracing Change: The Essence of Personal Growth

avoiding pain

“The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life..”

– Muhammad Ali

This profound statement captures the essence of personal development. It’s a stark reminder of the cost of stagnation in a life journey. As the world evolves, so too should our understanding of it, and our place within it. Failing to do so not only wastes precious years but also diminishes the richness of the human experience.

Change is an integral part of life’s fabric. It’s woven into every experience, relationship, and challenge we face. To view the world with the same eyes, mindset, and understanding at 50 as at 20 is to ignore the lessons and wisdom that life imparts. This stagnation signifies a disengagement from the process of learning, adapting, and growing that is crucial to our journey.
