I am on page 355 of a 548 page book, I really want to sneak in some reading this afternoon but I’m going to an all day gigs thing and it’s quite a heavy book.
What should I do?

  • Take the book, it’s all kicking off!!
  • Take a smaller book, you’re going to be standing around a lot with your bag on you shoulders and it’s not great for your back, also you’ll be with mates most of the time so won’t get much opportunity to read
  • Take the book, screw your back and your friends

He’s been ill and he’s not even taking a bag so I’m the pack mule today :frowning:

but that’s essentially what ugg boots are!

I do not know what birkenstocks are so I feel I cannot participate on this occasion. I wish you every success for the future.

  • Go for a walk
  • Go to Tesco
  • Go to Tesco and then a walk
  • This poll is pointless because it’s obvious which option you’ll choose

Go for a walk then go to Tesco on the way back to get a treat

I don’t have a pension and you don’t see it bothering me (because I’m willfully naive mainly, but still)

Top surgery would change your life massively. Go for it.

I’ve been paying into a pension on and off (on when in steady employment) for years and I’ve got fuck all to show for it. It’s so miniscule I doubt it’ll amount to a cup of tea a week by the time I get payments from it.
Obviously paying into a pension is the sensible thing to do but I think a pause while you sort out something that will contribute to your present and future happiness, well being/mental health and being your true self is much more of a priority rn.
Lots of love xxx

Pro - by the time you come to retirement age we’ll either be living in a socialist utopia and won’t need your pension or we’ll be living in a post apocalyptic wasteland where you won’t need your pension.

This.
We’re all absolutely fucked, basically.
So why not live your best life while you can?
Also, it’s a cliche but you never know what life’s going to throw at you. Could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

Aye. As you said, paying into a pension is definitely the sensible thing - and in general the right thing - to do, but sometimes now is more important. This seems like one of those times to me.

You’re still young so delaying pension contributions by a couple of years isn’t going to make or break your retirement income, so do what you need to now
