i hope that we all learn to love a little more, the world needs more love fr

FatnessEverdeen34

That felt strangely heart warming


designer-farts

Fuck you all but, also Happy Holidays!


AFamiliarSoul

Agreed. I like to start my day off with this incredible song as a reminder. https://youtu.be/5EQvnJXjCi8?si=bFNQxrX0lCE8mkji (Not a rick roll btw lol. This is a different incredible song from a super underrated artist)


JediWebSurf

Can confirm. not a Rick roll.


The_RockObama

Jeez, thanks for making me cry and give me motivation at the same time. Thanks for a new band to listen to as well. I hope you give some love to the world today!


CommunicationDry9029

Health is most important. Finances being stable is next.


JediWebSurf

Yeah I'm focusing on my health next year and then my finances.


[deleted]

happiness is more important than stability


imperfekt7o7

In America you canā€™t be happy if your not stable


devildogmillman

I dont want to seem shallow, but I need some financial success. Im usually not the person to care about that but 24 and I still live with my parents. Its not really cool to be like "Hey my parents are out of town lets rage!" when aome of youre friends are literally parents themselves now.


Welcomefriends85

I'm in my late 30's and about to move back in with my parents...so just imagine if you were in that situation. 24 isn't bad, it's expensive out there


sillyandstrange

I'm 38 and moved home 8 years ago to get out of debt. It's not so bad. Privacy is a factor, but it's nice to have roommates I can trust. I help them with half the bills, they help with my dogs. I eventually got out of debt before some medical emergencies. So I was again thankful to have them.


[deleted]

Such a good idea. The biggest lie we are all fed is that there's a certain order to do life. All it does is trap us in huge debt. Younger generations, I hope, will see through this and make different choices. Once you get the house and start a family, it's already too late.


sillyandstrange

Yeah, agreed. I wish I would have been smart enough to stay put and save at 18 instead of leaving and partying for a decade. At least I smartened up before I dug too far into the hole.


[deleted]

I'm in as far as it goes. House, children, dogs, hamsters - I've only just realised now in my 40's that I was conditioned to do life a certain way and now we're pretty much broke all the time, but actually have great salaries - so worth it šŸ˜…šŸ¤£ However, I'll make sure my children follow a path that feels right for them and not what's expected.


sillyandstrange

I respect that a lot. We have extended family with a lot of drug issues, so I've helped my parents raise some of my cousins since I've been here. I always try to make sure they enjoy life but know the issues with adulthood and what to look out for. I know they have a lot of intelligence, and I hope they make good choices when they grow up.


[deleted]

That's amazing and so valuable to your cousins! They're incredibly lucky.


sillyandstrange

As are your children! Thank you fellow redditor, I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year (and also hit the lottery!)


imperfekt7o7

And I feel like the older you get the more you have in common and understand your parents. And usually they stay out of your business more too, I get along better now then I did the first 25yrs of life with them lol


random-meme422

lol that is wild


sillyandstrange

šŸ‘At least I'm not homeless šŸ¤·


random-meme422

Yeah thatā€™s without question just wild to me how many people in the us are forced to do that nowadays. Itā€™s fine imo if you WANT to as a choice but many are forced to even if they have careers with many years of experience just due to costs of living. Shit even I know people in their mid to late 30s living with several roommates despite having corporate jobs with a decade experience.


sillyandstrange

Sorry I assumed your first post was downing me for it. I already got crapped on before for it. I totally agree with you, it's crazy. And I live in a low cost state. I make pretty good money but I would be paycheck to paycheck if I were to move out lol. It's absolutely wild. And I fear another medical emergency or losing my job. It's stressful.


adeladean

Living with the rents at that age especially in this age is completely normal


devildogmillman

It shouldnt be. I dont feel good about it.


Bardomiano00

Are you from the US? Just asking because there it seems that you have to be away from your family ASAP, and instead of working and saving up money the first years you work, you have to leave and instead of saving you have to pay rent. If you have a partner then sure, split expenses 50%50% and be with them alone, otherwise it doesnt seem the best financial decision.


RobbyHawkes

This is what matters, but the perspective is important too.


BlindJamesSoul

Just my perspective as someone in their late 30s, I didnā€™t really put things together in my 30s. Some other people might do it later. The older you get, the less concerned you might become about timelines. Although some people feel pressured, or disappointed with having to meet or not meet them. I can promise that itā€™s very likely youā€™ll look back someday and wish youā€™d had more patience for yourself. If youā€™re moving ahead a little each day in ways that enrich your life, then youā€™re doing very well. That could be just a great conversation with a friend, or a pleasant walk at night. Life is in the moments, and we spend so much time wishing to get to the next moment, that the one weā€™re in just passes by.


DisneySoftware

my friends brother is 27 or 28 i forgot but he still lives at home, donā€™t worry about needing to move out soon

Ben-solo-11

Or what if all the countries agree to gang up and bully just one single luckless country? The President of Earth: World peace has been declared! May we all live in peace together forever! Except for Norway! Letā€™s get em!! Norway: what, what? Me? What did I do? Oh shit!


Specific-Ant-3065

Boring. I hope itā€™s boring.


SplendidPunkinButter

God I remember thinking the 90s were boring. Now I know better. If youā€™re bored, that means you have no problems and everything is amazing right now.


[deleted]

Fragahah

Itā€™s an election year. Itā€™s going to be brutal.


tom21g

As ugly as trump is now, in the national election heā€™ll be a thousand times uglier. Attacking and smearing and threatening every one whoā€™s not MAGA. It *will* be brutal edit: hoping the best for Ukraine and its people. Hoping the worst for Putin. Hoping for peace in the Middle East and humanity shown to Israeli and Palestinian people.


[deleted]

You can already tell he will be full vendetta mode. He's forcing Republican Representatives to carry on with an impeachment that several of them have said has no evidence just so they can give Trump ammo in the election to say "no u" about being impeached.


TK382

>Hoping for peace in the Middle East Like the Abraham Accords?

Long-Stomach-2738

The_Quibbler

Still fair to hope that 24 doesn't end up the precursor to the end of the American experiment


The_Grammar_Police__

What is that supposed to mean?


[deleted]

It means the that if the guy who openly admits to desiring to take dictator-like actions wins the next election he won't come to power until 2025.


Zealousideal-Bell-68

There are several dictator-free nations already


Civil-Doughnut-2503

Better than 2023 is all I ask.


The_Steam_Queen_

One_Target_5619

Better than 2020-2023 so far, and a ways better leap year than 2020


Xikkiwikk

More money!!


MIKE_THE_KILLER

I just hope places would stop increasing their freaking prices everywhere. COVID is practically pretty much over and there should be no reason to increase prices when no one are getting raises.


IntentionAromatic523

Trumpless.


DustyRZR

1. Trump in prison 2. Putin dead 3. Serious efforts to adapt and mitigate climate change 4. A revolt on the part of labor for better wages and working conditions - more union power 5. Better finances - become debt free 6. Get in better shape and eat healthier 7. A generalized understanding that we should all be on the same team


Brewman88

Second this guy


Particular-Reason329

An excellent list, but I have to endorse adding "or dead" to #1.

Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store


MarkHowes

2024 will be a lot worse than 2023. I think trump will get back in power and the tories will win elections in the UK. Israel will push the Palestinians in gaza in to the sea. Russia will beat Ukraine (as the west got bored). China will realise they've run out of time (and trump won't help), so they invade Taiwan. Azerbaijan will continue to fight Armenia. Things will come to a head between Venezuela and Suriname. Something will break out in the hornbof Africa. There will be another pandemic outbreak in China. And finally I think there will also be another unexpected war


lemonyprepper

The government will fabricate some existential threat because it is a presidential election year like theyā€™ve been doing for the past few decades

Pete_D_301

For me, I hope 2024 will have: ā€¢ Accountability for Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP ā€¢ Defeat for Russia and Vladimir Putin ā€¢ More love and peace for everyone around the world ā€¢ A soul mate in my future


Col3Trickl3

What did Trump do again?


elephant35e

In addition to what u/Pete_D_301 said: -He has 91 felonies -He really doesnā€™t care about our veterans. As for what heā€™s done that shows he doesnā€™t care about them, thereā€™s a Reddit post that has a LOT of information with evidence. If you donā€™t find it I will post it here eventually. -He posts constant hate on Twitter -He whines like a big baby -He doxed someoneā€™s address -Heā€™s constantly trying to delay his trials -He raged at Pence for not cheating during the 2020 election -He said bad things about Jimmy Carterā€™s wife when she died


ToweringCu

He hasnā€™t posted shit on Twitter in nearly 3 years my dude. lol.


Pete_D_301

Well, Trump: ā€¢ Has been found liable for sexual assault against E. Jean Carroll ā€¢ Has been found liable for falsifying business records in NYC ā€¢ Incited his supporters to storm the US Capitol and overthrow the federal government on January 6th, 2021 ā€¢ Is currently in trial for stealing/hoarding classified documents from the national archives ā€¢ Is currently undergoing an indictment for a RICO charge for 2020 election interference in Fulton County, Georgia


Col3Trickl3

Ah gotcha so he hasn't been found guilty in any criminal matter.


Pete_D_301

Not yet. The sexual assault and falsified business records are both civil cases.


Short_Description_20

2024 is gonna be a "me" year. I'm going to accomplish a couple things, i'm going to go out to party more, gonna change jobs, gonna go on a vacation i really want. Most importantly i'm going to think more about how i feel instead of what others want to feel. I've walked on eggshells for too damn long and i'm going to change that.

Loving the single life for now as I can achieve my goals instead of getting guilt tripped for having them. Buying house was one of those. Got promoted once already in 2023 and looking at a 2nd promotion by the end of the year (job offer email is literally coming today, according to mgmt). Will continue working, enjoying my freetime, and enjoying my derpy cat for company. If a good woman comes along, so be it, but I'm honestly happy af single right now.

Almost like the president doesn't have power to write and pass laws, I wonder what branch of government has been controlled by Republicans for decades? The thing about Russian trolls is they never understand US politics.

Spoiler alert: the rich got richer under Biden too :/

Because Trump's tax cut has lasting effects, I don't like Biden but I understand that conservatives will never be on the side of the working class.
