Our grocery bill literally doubling in the last 5 years without changing anything to our spending habits (buy stuff on special, off-brand items - which often have much higher margins for large stores, by the way, stock up/freeze stuff, meal prep, eat in season, local markets, etc), yet grocery chains having record profits, is just supply and demand at work. Nice👌
Depends on if his issue of “not working” is that he visibly sweats, in which case he needs an antiperspirant, or that he smells, in which case a deodorant may be enough. I can’t do deodorants or I literally just drip from the armpits lol
Damn, ballsy. I definitely abide by that unwritten rule that the best time to find a new job is while you still have one. Happy it never negatively impacted you, but I have a kid that depends on me, can’t really risk that unless I think I can find something in a matter of weeks, even days… I do have some emergency savings, but I’d rather it be for actual emergencies (firing/layoffs, sickness, whatever) than me quitting.
I’d rather start doing the bare minimum and continue sucking off the maximum amount of money I can from an employer I hate out of pure spite lol. If they’re not happy with it, they can fire me, and I’d at least get access to the unemployment I’ve been paying those taxes for anyway.
I keep seeing comments along the lines of calling OP’s parents “elderly”, but early 60s are barely reaching retirement age. They shouldn’t be having such cognitive impairments…
