Some people never learn

TANSTAAFL guys

For those who don't know....there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

So true, Flick, and so glad at your tender age that you understand things that grown men on imgflip still don't understand.

The Left In a Nutshell

I read this book last year "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?" and it makes the concept of money and inflation really easy to understand
Plus it's a fun read :)

Good for you, Flick, you are on the right track.

My husband always used to read a book in a day or two when I first met him. He is a voracious reader, reads things so quickly and understands the context immediately. He is still the smartest man I have ever known.

Glad your parents have instilled a love for reading in you. It will serve you well...

Yeah reading is invaluable
And you really seem to admire your husband :) he seems like a great man

He is my first and only love. I hope you meet the right girl and stay happily married, Flick. Choosing the right person is probably the biggest decision you will make in your life. Make it wisely, pay attention to the red flags, and don't rush into it. :)

So far I never felt like I wanted marriage
I want to want it... but still not feeling it
I've just always had 0 intrest in girls or love and I wonder if/when it'll change

You be YOU, Flick. Not everybody wants to get married and that is OK. Plus, you are so young! When I was your age, getting married wasn't a focus (although I definitely always wanted it in the future along with children). Give yourself time to learn more about yourself and the world. There is no rush!

We have two very different children...a stunningly beautiful, smart, common sense daughter who has been happily/ecstatically married for almost twenty years. Our son is a drop dead handsome, brilliant guy, a free spirit kinda like you, and he has never married. Both are conservatives.

Our son has yet find the right woman. He has had many women in his past but never the right fit. I actually am glad he hasn't married (although I love several of the girls in his past). When one gets married, it just has to be right. I would rather he stay single than to be married to the wrong person.

So, there you have it....take your time and when you have that spark, that feeling that you have a person you can see yourself with for the rest of your life, then get serious. In the meantime, continue to make the best YOU, enjoy life, and when the timing is right, it will all click! :)

Thanks a lot :) you're very wise
And yeah... If I ever do want a wife she's gotta be nothing but p e r f e c t 👌
But I'll take it as slow as I feel like
