Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[JB]

Was leaving the grocery store this morning with my kids and some guy came up to us in the parking lot and handed me a card and said "Merry Christmas to you and your family." I thanked him and forgot to say shalom. I already knew it was going to be loaded with Jesus talk, and it was, but it also had a crisp $100 bill inside. We're going on a trip a few days after Christmas, so this will be nice to have some extra cash, but at the same time I don't really feel great about it. My 8 year old argued with me the whole way home about why he deserves to keep the money. I tried explaining that someone just did something very generous for our family and that it was wrong to think he should be get to be selfish with the cash, but that's not something an 8 year old easily understands. I feel like I'm already fortunate enough and I should just give it to someone who really needs it, or go buy food and presents for a shelter or something.

As far as the religious aspect goes, no amount of money is going to get me to believe in something I don't believe in. But I do believe in being a decent human being and now I feel an obligation to step up and pay it forward otherwise I'm going to feel like a bit of a dick.

You can still pay it forward even if you use the money for yourself/family. Don’t put pressure on yourself to pay it forward $100 worth either. Just be a good person. Shalom. And merry Christmas.

This. I'd put it towards your family and just accept it as some well deserved good karma coming your way

Marijuana is now legal in my state starting the new year, I used to enjoy weed but now it makes me pretty anxious.

my sister is playing with all of my heros lately

Ive never been so proud.

Im not stoked because im a violent ex con and im not allowed to go to Canada

[theSketchLord]

The duty manager just came up to tell us some kids have been busted stealing bikes from the lockup.
Went down on my break fully sure my new Cult would be gone (at 1.00am its easily the nicest bike in the lockup and has a horrible $6 Kmart lock on it).

Anyways the bike is still there but the little cunts have taken the helmet, I'm unsure why cos' it's fluro green with Slam City and 3 Amigos skateshop stickers on it so it'll stand out like a sore thumb.

On the plus side I don't have to buy a new bike and have a few tasty stickers I can put on a new helmet.

Holy shit, I have buddies in a few of these bands and didn’t know this was happening. Stoked for them.

[ClownOfTheDay]

Woke up with chronic pain in my legs and thought about just laying in bed today. No I got up and did my morning stretches and did what I needed to do. Took some Tylenol to ease the pain because I could barely move.

Was home for the holidays after 2 years of being an idiot, craving some new terrain but home is so comfortable

[doublesteveburger]

I think I’m in love with an idiot

[TheLurper]

Getting divorced.

Stoked to no longer have a wife that wasn't really a partner and was always creating financial/emotional chaos (after short bursts of being awesome).

Bummed, she got diagnosed with bipolar II 2 weeks prior to relationship ending. Maybe, her meds would have changed everything?

[JohnnySaintLethal]

2020 ushered in some great experiences so far. I met this girl from tinder and we hit it off instantly. I’m surprised because of how much shitty luck I’ve had with it in the past, when it comes to dating. She moved from the Midwest out here to philly and doesn’t know anyone so we’ve just spent a lot of time together already. Everything has been really awesome and I’m super happy for the first time in a long while.

Last night we were out though and she found out an old roommates dog is sick and going to get put down soon. She got a little drunk, and she’s also on her period. So she was being super emotional. She tells me she’s not sure what she’s really looking for yet and how it feels like we’re moving fast. Blah blah she was in a shitty relationship with an addict about a year ago and I guess she’s still hurt from it. her mom passed away a few years ago. She is currently looking for a new job in the city. So maybe she just got hit with some overwhelming emotions.

I told her listen look at us we’re having a fun time right? I’m not pressuring her into jumping into a relationship right off the bat. Let’s just keep riding this wave I think we’ve both been having fun and then let’s just take it from where it goes. I told her I was in the same shoes a few years ago with a toxic relationship etc I get it. I get it’s scary liking someone new in a new city where you don’t know many people. So I’m not sure if I got through to her a little bit, she still slept over and isn’t really giving off any different vibes. Says she likes me a lot too and she’s been having a great time. so I guess she’s just in a vulnerable spot.

Its been in my head since and I don’t want it to show towards her, just keep being confident and have fun with her. But I’m not trying to get hurt either so I guess we’ll see how it goesss

No they probably wouldn't have. Before you even said bipolar I was already thinking of it. Been there, done that, be glad you are getting out at all.

Oh man I’ve been there several times . Good luck & hope it works out . Over the years it’s been far and few between where me and the woman have been on the same page when we start dating . Prob communication has always been a factor on my part .

[doublesteveburger]

I think I’m in love with an idiot

Ah fuck I’m definitely in love with an idiot. God damnit.

[Dr-Feelgood]

I worked overtime about a month ago at work, only took 4 hours to do the job but i get paid for 6 hours at $60 + an hour, anyway they forgot to put it in my last paycheque which is bullshit but im getting it in the next paycheque so feels like its a little savings

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

I'm super bummed, but stoked at the same time.

She was the absolute best woman to date, but it was a nightmare to be married to her. Her chaos, student loans, lack of consideration for the future, etc. didn't matter while dating because it was just fun, but once married, man none of the shit helped anything (and her parents left me to deal with everything on my own).

I really have no idea why society doesn't put the proper emphasis on the financial side of getting married. Both my parents and my wife's parents taught us nothing about money. Even simple things like the importance of keeping a high credit score never discussed. We had some issues that we found out about after being married, but luckily it wasn't anything that was too expensive and stressful. My wife owed a few grand in student loans that she defaulted on and her debt was taken out of our tax refund last year. We still got a refund, just not the full amount of what we expected, but she's paid off now and we can move forward.

My buddy though, I kinda wish I could tell him that getting married is a huge mistake for him. Both of them work in retail and don't make that great of money. I've overheard that she's six figures in student loan debt, and I don't know how anyone could afford to pay that off in their lifetime working retail. I think she has a degree, but is unmotivated to go out and compete for jobs in that field. Having a great relationship might be something people consider priceless, but jumping into that much debt with someone sure puts pressure on your future.

I couldn't even imagine being married to anyone other than a doctor, lawyer, or some other high earner with that kind of debt. How does someone keep up with the interest payments? I mean if someone owed 100K and their interest rate was 5%, the interest alone would be $417 a month. (My student loans were at 6.8%, which fucking sucked.)

My ex-wife had to pay about $150 in interest each month and every time she missed a payment she was like, "Don't worry there isn't a fee if I don't pay on time." And, I was like, "No, you just added $150 to your principal, every time you are a month late you basically add another month of being in debt."
