advise needed- want to get a golden retriver; i'm a bachelor

Dog parents of Grapevine, specifically those of you living in apartments in cities (that's my preferred living setup for the next 10-15 years atleast), what breed do you have? I'm planning to get a dog this year and I have already shortlisted couple of apartment friendly breeds. I would however love to know what you have to suggest. So far I have shortlisted - Boxer, beagle and cocker spaniel. I am not keen on mutts, and indie breeds like rajapalyam and chippapara won't do well in apartments. Would love to know your thoughts on this

Following wester consumerism blindly is the reason when most DINK couple decides not to have kids. The age old colonial term of "civilising the brown is white man's responsiblity". Let me burst this bubble of ever happy life and not having dependency of kids,they are not investment,etc etc. I wont highlight if its right or wrong here for it lots of post are there. I better highlight what will happen after next 20 30 years as I can learn from west(USA) lifestyle pattern. All these people have kept most of their money in *paper* assets like PF,Bank FD,stocks. Reason for highlighting the word paper will see. As the number of oldies will increase over youngsters. Govt will need more youngsters as economy is worked upon by them. No loan takers,no new consumers. What will happen stock prices will fall,same goes for bank interest ,in worst case you wont be ablw to withdraw your principal even(happening in australia, people have to inform why they are withdarwing cash to bankers). Next for pf: when ww contribute to PF we pay foe the payback of current retired generation or basically we are paying their debt. But due to lack of youngster no one will pay your debt so forget your PF as well. This is how your money bubble of Crores will vanish. There is a term debt to gdp ratio, ever heard? Its the debt taken by govt from future generations to develop current lifestyle. Hence still govt need people to sustain and payback that debt so they will allow illegal immigrants ( what you are seeing in USA and Europe in name of "multicultralism"). And you know what? These rowdy immigrants will fill your city and you will become second class citizen why cause its democracy and majority rules. Noone will protect you leave alone police actually there is no one "left" to protect you( read statements of Canadian police regarding car thefts you will find similarities). Still oldies are there so new experimentation on assisted suicides(Canada is leading the way in current timeframe).

I'll be moving to Blr for 2-3 months, have to WFO, office in Whitefield. I'm very confused about finding an accommodation. Could you suggest any reliable sources where I can find accommodation and what areas will provide an affordable yet good accommodation. I searched for PGs and flats, PGs seem too congested and seem too overpriced, while flats have high deposit and lock ins.

Is it okay to invest 20k just on rent for 1bhk in Kondapur considering my in-hand salary is 74k per month. No loans.

I have found a job but they’re asking me to move to Hyderabad. I don’t know if I should take it and leave my dog alone with my parents. My dog is 12 years old and she’s very attached to me. Plus I need to take up my career opportunity since I am 27 so I don’t really know what to do. I’ve been under a lot of pressure to decide. If someone can share their experiences or thoughts it’ll be helpful. TIA

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what 2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them 3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even. Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me. But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.
