This advice only works for those who earn enough money to save and invest. After rent, food, other living expenses im lucky enough to save up until the next emergency drains my funds.

Nah jam is the stuff you spread on toast or a roast.

Jelly is the wobbly gelatinous blob that Americans call "jell-o".

Isn’t the burning of bog utterly wrecking parts of your ecosystem? I’m really surprised youse are still doing it in this day an age.

Germany doesn't really seem like a very efficient country, they still use fax for things and every person has to manage like 10,000 different insurances for everything. Seems like an old (and inaccurate) ww2 trope.

The sad part is I love my job, I work in education so helping children is amazingly rewarding, the pay and bullshit parts of the job is utterly crushing however but I know if I'm not doing it, it's going to fall to someone unqualified and I can't do that to 'em.

Nah mate you're right, we just use different names. Like how they call jam jelly.

In Australia we call ketchup tomato sauce. Tomato paste is probably what you’re thinking of.

If I heard ketchup I'd probably think of kecap manis/sweet soy sauce firstly.

Cry myself to sleep.

On top of being too old, I'll be too poor, so I'll probably just neck myself around ~70.
