Polls: Education & Career

I've put some phrases in the poll, do any apply or have they applied to you in the past, or perhaps you know a phrase that better describes your work.

I used to be quite a handful with teachers. My closed off behavior left school super boring, so I had to compensate.

More so in middle school, I wrote on the board in band class a lot in the morning before class, sometimes he'd get mad, sometimes he didn't.

When he started just erasing the whole words when I started erasing letters to change what it said on the board.

Like where it said "low brass", I'm sure you can guess which two letters I erased. He then erased the 3 letter word I'd created, so now it just said "low".

He hoped this tactic of depriving me of bad words to create, I'd stop. One night on a concert, I reiterated I wouldn't stop by rewriting the 3 letter word I created😂

The next day, he'd erased both words, he glared but try as he might, he never did very well, hiding the smile tugging at his lips when I did this.

I see now how inconsiderate and immature this all was and how it's really not funny to mess with teachers and make their already stress filled day more stressful by dealing with people who don't act their age.

This case though, it still makes me laugh cause it was the moment he realized I'd always find a way to act ridiculous 😂

Did you mess with teachers? Also, did you laugh at my story? It's okay to hit yes, nobody knows!

Trump only gained 181,000 Jobs over 12 months in 2025 That is a gain 15,000 jobs per month and when you figure job loss number in , he finished negative. So more job loss than gain. So far 2026 looks like more job loss than job gains which means money leaving economy , less investment , and more pressure on Gov't resources.

Just something I've noticed and you can always tell that they've majored in some bullshit such as gender studies or feminist dance theory that qualifies them for making minimum wage in subway. But then you talk to some serious heavyweight intellectuals they never insult people's education or intelligence. They dont try to act superior and like they are smarter than everyone else.

I plan to Semi retire at 62 but will work until 70. I am currently 57.

Income flows: AT&T Dividends , Social Security (If still there), my lawn Service , Silver Sells , Art Sells, Gold Jewelry sells, Platinum sells, Palladium sells, Rhenium Sells, Nickel Sells , Copper Sells , Lead Sells, Alum Sells , Brass Sells, Bronze Sells , Baseball cards graded and ungraded., Sell Gem Stones (Diamonds, Emeralds, Sapphires, Opals, and Rubies , my Tanzanite is worth $200,000.00 . So I have many Income Flows.

I also have many other items collectible to sell.

Emergency income : Reverse Mortgage on House, Rent a room in house, Yard Sales, I could use truck to move things.

You may need up to $5 million in Assets to retire these days. Inflation will probably get worse. Costs of things will continue to rise.

I started with Baseball cards as a kid and started investing in Physical Silver at age 31 .

Have you started investing yet? Metals, Stocks, Bonds, Art, or Cryptos (I don;t do Crtptos) Jewelry?

If you are 25 and not investing , you are already behind the 8 Ball.

The Average person retires between 64 and 68 now.
