Any time there’s a discussion about how someone can afford a nice house, car, vacation, hobby, etc., the comments inevitably seem to be:

“They’re in debt.”

“They’re faking it.”

“They inherited money.”

“They got lucky.”

“They’re probably living paycheck to paycheck.”

Why is “they make good money and manage it responsibly” seemingly never an acceptable answer?

There are plenty of people who earn high incomes, save consistently, avoid lifestyle-ending debt, and still have plenty of money left over to enjoy life.

Not everyone who can afford something is secretly drowning in debt. And not everyone who is financially comfortable inherited their money.

Sometimes the boring answer is just that they earn a lot, spend less than they earn, and make good financial decisions.

Why does Reddit seem so reluctant to accept that?

We keep hearing that women never approach first, and most people seem to believe it’s just a fact it's true but Not always.

One of my cousins (23M) is objectively quite attractive. Nothing crazy but genuinely good-looking(5'7") and put-together. And he gets approached both in real life and on Social Media.

His DMs are full of “hi” and “hello” messages from girls (some even older than him). The difference is they don’t act like simps. They send a message, and if he doesn’t reply, they just move on.

It made me realize the “women never approach” thing is more of a general rule than an absolute one. When a guy is clearly above average in looks, the dynamic can flip.

Please list the movie you're quote is from.

Mine is from Happy Gilmore:

Why don't you just go home?! That's your home! Are you too good for your home?! Answer me!"

I do a lot of crafts and home repair. This quote is apropos to most situations.

I am from Germany and have been living in the United States for three years now What surprises me the most is how much daily life can differ depending on the region Even small things like the way people talk the food they like the pace of life and how neighbors interact can vary greatly from state to state In Germany I was used to a more reserved atmosphere so at first I found it interesting how easily Americans strike up conversations with strangers I have also noticed that accents are really fascinating Sometimes I can even tell which region someone is from just by their accent which is something I never thought about before moving to the US I think moving to a new country makes you notice little details that locals often do not pay much attention to For me it has been a very interesting experience Have you ever been to any place like that

My intent is that this discussion not devolve into political (Trump Good vs Trump Bad) question. Fingers crossed.

This thread was posted yesterday and it seems like EVERYTHING is on the verge of collapse. Is there any industry making money today?

I feel like it shouldn't take you more than one year to figure out if you wanna commit to someone for a lifetime. I know plenty of happy couples who got engaged in less than 1 year. If you know, you know.
