Careful of the choices you make!

Everyone look at your 401K. They took away your pension and now focus on a 401K. Look at your 2025 401K. It's in negative YES RED territory. Then, you go to the grocery store and the shelves are empty. Then, take a look at the prices of your... — read more

Can't help but feel envy

for those who are no longer part of the State Farm. They finally got some relief from all this. I hope to get a new job soon, because here it's impossible to work and be happy and relaxed? (unless you're one of those at the top of course)
