Just another weekend- Grapevine

I’m finally in Bengaluru and this city seems glitzy yet underdeveloped. What a weird dichotomy. 🫨

Grapevine folks: What are your weekend scenes?

An introvert staying alone here with no friends in the city.. would spend the weekend with myself either scrolling social media or sleeping!!

[Thread] What are you upto this weekend?

Analyst

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Age 30, married, expecting to be alive till 80
50 L in cash
Own house & car (no plan to sell any of them)
No kids, no loans, no expectations, just basic life
Nothing from family

Excel calculation is hinting yes :)
But need practical advice

Can someone retire with just 50 Lakh in hand at 30.

You can't have the same car for 50 more years. 
  
 Your house will need pieces of renovation in the next 50 years. 
  
 Your body parts will start crumbling in the next 50 years.  
  
 Inflation will continue to eat your money in the next 50 years. 
  
  
 So no way you can survive with 1L per year for the two of you.

Although most of us moved out as teens to pursue our degrees, during college, one is surrounded by friends all around, and it's hard for loneliness to hit except for those 1 AM Nights.
But as an early career working professional, for the 1st time in life, most start feeling lonely,
pick themselves up cook their meals, and maybe apply to new jobs because you hate your current job. 

The first thought over the weekends is to do the laundry and clean up the mess you made over there is no one for you to come back to, no matter how bad your day was, you still have to work on weekdays.

What I hate the most about this stage is the relationships and friendships, being away from parents,
surrounded by people in the office but can't open up to, maybe you are lucky and make friends in the office but still, not even getting the time to call them, and having multiple colleagues to hangout with but 
the day you switch jobs you will be leaving them behind, just like your high school friends were left behind 
when you moved to college, just like your college friends were left behind when you moved cities for a job.

You are aware and mature enough to know your mistakes and fuck-ups in the past but you are also chained in the shackles of habits you have made over the last 20 years. There is an opportunity cost to everything, do you sleep early on the weekend or party Friday night and end up being hungover on Saturday too, do you give your best to the job or start your master's prep?

It's like a world of illusions that lets you believe that something better is 10 steps away and does not let you sit still in the present.

As most of us look forward to weekend or long weekend, I wanna know what are few things or that one thing u try not to fail in doing such that after weekend u don’t regret that it’s over? It can be as simple as getting a space cleaned in ur home. I am only looking for things that u cannot do on a weekday and so u look forward to doing it over weekend.

How do u make weekend fulfilling ?

I wait all week for weekend, then realize I just didn't have enough fun on the weekend. What makes a good weekend? How can I make sure that this Monday I go to office feeling like I had a nice weekend. 

Give suggestions please 🙏

How to have a good weekend?

Have a bad week. Your weekend will look better. Your brain thinks in comparatives.

Since I’ve WFH, I mostly watch YouTube videos. I write journal If I have to. Explore some more tech related things.

What about you guys??

What do you guys do on weekends?

The day was starting with a cold breeze after the soothing rains which got the temperature dipped to ~11°C. Fitness hustlers and morning people getting ready for the street walks and jogging in sweatshirts. Few also took their dogs along. 

There wasn't much of birds chirping, but found some parrots and few colourful birds when the 9 AM sun was shining with rays in between the buildings. The sky was pretty clear, notification popped up for a sunny day.

A speed breaker for weekday chores. Terrace was today's spot. 

11 AM, people were hanging their clothes to dry in the sun, a grandfather was reading his newspaper in his garden. House-help mopping floors of balcony, a couple having coffee/tea, a kid playing with his Labrador. Another one, loving with side hugs in the sun. Vegetable vendors minding their business on the streets. Women bargaining them. 

Observing the clouds move, like a curious child.
Eagles flying high in the sky, birds moving in groups. Easy to identify skyscrapers 10-15 kms away with a minimum haze. Good dose of Vitamin D for today.

Looked out for the trees, well, there are very few to identify with colourful 🌺
Glad, didn't find anyone using mobiles while consuming some Vitamin D. Plus no smoking. 

A Sundar Sunday after a breezy Saturday.

A Sundar Sunday

howdy!!


Folks I need your inputs please. I am a single parent to two kids and have a full time job which is basically the only financial source and now WFH is ending and my problem is:

1. With the role n responsibilities i am fully booked for office work and not able to take care of the kids or house like i want to

2. Even if i hire someone like nanny i still thinking of their safety and activities they r doing bcoz i want to engage them is teaching or making them learn spend time with them as they grow be there for them ( bcoz i know how lonely it is to have working parents) so i don’t want them left with nanny bcoz i believe money can be made again but their childhood will not return 

3. Even if i get a WFH role, my time, energy and thinking capabilities will be taken up by the job only again leaving me less energetic, time to care for my kids

4 Everyone is against me leaving the job bcoz that’s the only financial source I have but i want to shift my stream maybe join as a school admin or start a food business that i can handle without much of mental stress but the pay will be way less

So I am looking for something which gives me the time and mental peace to spend and raise my kids with a decent money to meet the needs. 

What can i do???  please tell me any other way out or a guaranteed income source along with being with my kids

Your thoughts plz

WFH mai basic grooming bhi nhi krne ka mann krta 🥲.

Business Analyst

Any weekend plans?
Is it only me who’s just sitting idle and thinking what to do during weekends, and will end up getting bored or probably sleeping?

Any good suggestions?
