12 Women Reveal How They Feel About Their Partners Watching Porn

1. I consider it cheating and pick partners who do not indulge in porn. My boyfriend knows this boundary and accepts it. I’ll send him sexy pictures if he has to travel but I’ve always made my standards clear. He knows he has it too good at home that he’s often said he won’t jeopardize this relationship. And he knows I won’t hesitate to walk away if he breaks my trust.

Money Matters: “58 Years Old and My Mom Has No Money for Retirement”

mom wants to retire

So my mom is trying to retire soon, as she is 58. She currently doesn’t have a lot of money for retirement (about 100,000 dollars), but makes 250,000 a year and loves her job (which isn’t demanding on her body).

She is just now starting to save more, but doesn’t know if she should go with a self-401k (as she is self employed), or open an annuity with thrivant.

I have 0 clue as to what the best option is, so i REALLY need some help deciding on this. What makes the most sense for someone who is in her shoes?? Should she just aggressively max everything out? or should she go with the annuity?
