Ooh 1983 me wants that so bad.

I like to think someone was perched on the roof waiting for someone to cross the tape and dump a bunch of snow on their head.

 

48 years old, currently have no investments. My net worth is my car and the clothes on my back, and I don't ever want to be in this situation again.

(Edit: I don't need to buy a house or anything whatsoever related to a house, so please don't mention the "h" word in your response, it's triggering me for tangential reasons. Let me be clear, I will NEVER care about real estate whatsoever, mmmkay? Just trust me when I say I have a roof over my head and it's completely paid off, no property taxes, and No, I will never sell it, so the whole h-word" aspect of life is not a concern for me, k?)

Just looking for guidance where to invest this relatively small amount of money every month so in a few years when I'm older & frailer I'll have enough for retirement. I don't want it to just sit in my bank account, I want it to grow.

For reference, I've been living on approx $1500 per month for as long as I've noticed, so I don't need much per month, and the sooner I die, the less retirement fund I'll need, but we can never predict when anyone's death will happen, so let's assume I'll live to 100 because I'm ridiculously healthy & an exceptionally good driver, never been in an accident, one speeding ticket in my entire life, no social life so I never get into risky situations, so let's just plan for the possibility I'm going to live another 50 years.

Employees getting apathetic is an indication of burnout. How about HR sits down & discusses with the employee offering a compromise in exchange for quality reliable work. For example offer the employee 4 days on, 3 days off. Or one week on, one week off, and double their pay which would double their morale & retain their loyalty.

Employers don't want to solve our problems. If all of our problems were solved, we wouldn't go to work anymore. Employers would not like that.

So they pay us just barely enough (or less) to string us along that we have no choice but to keep coming back to work everyday.

How does the act of placing a broom behind the front door signify the guest should leave? The broom is blocking the exit. 🤔

You're all the technology-savvy intelligent ones who figured out Lemmy right away, months ago. I was trying to get into Lemmy even before July 1st but finally figured it out today November 10th! I finally got into Lemmy today. It was nearly as difficult as applying & repeatedly being rejected for competitive employment somewhere. sheesh.

Because elected officials are above the law until someone decides to blackmail them.

Now you're just being elitist. True, petrol-fueled cars cannot run without oil. But fediverse CAN run on different things besides linux.
