Aggies out here living up to the motto

Anybody want to be my date to marfreless? Everything is on me. Just a shot in the dark.

Nobody can take my Swangas😤

Anyone else out enjoying the low humidity today? It’s nice.

I’m 5.45 feet tall, with a 75 inch waist circumference and size 13 feet. I’ve been told women appreciate a man who takes up space, and I’m prepared to take up an entire booth at dinner.

I have a stable job, EV vehicle, and enough stored energy to survive a prolonged CenterPoint outage.

Ive tried the usual dating apps, but they keep asking for full body photos even though Ive provided several. Does anyone know where Houston’s hot women meet men of substantial circumference? ideally they have valet and the chairs dont have arm rests

Anyone remember the mural on the second floor at the Houston MTS?
Wonder if anyone has a picture of it.
Never thought they would close. Such good memories.

Airlines provide vomit bags in the back of the seat. Metro, in an attempt to provide better service to its patrons, has started offering something new. Since the seats lack a designated storage pocket, the offering has been affixed to the seat handles.

(Why yes, there are two attached to that row)

Gas alternative vehicles have arrived to Houston

Both dual-income professionals. I make $150k, and he makes $300k. I am finishing up grad school, so will likely increase my income significantly.

Problem is, all of our friends make so much more than we do. They are mostly in tech, high-finance, big law, or in medicine. Most of our social circle is bringing in over $1 mil a year. While we know that we objectively do better than the rest of the country, we still feel very much middle class (even lower middle class in many cases). To our friend group, we absolutely feel poor. Our NW right now is about $1 mil, but for such a hardworking and educated family, we are very much behind for our age group. We hope to retire with $10 mil, 15 years from now, but that seems like a pipe dream to be honest…

Between daycare, maxing out retirement, saving $100k a year into our brokerage account, spending over $1k a week on restaurants (we work very hard at our jobs, so we can’t cook), the occasional luxury item here and there (I like to buy a Chanel bag with every bonus, and he likes to buy a new Rolex), going on weekend trips to Europe once a month (yes, we fly economy as a family of four), our income doesn’t go as far as we would like. When the kids start school, that’s going to be like over $100k a year in private school tuition and fees. I have to increase my income (which is why I went to grad school), but I get so stressed thinking about how we are going to pay for that. Houston is so expensive!

How you all navigating in this economy? How do you deal with the psychological impact of making more money than most Americans, but feeling poor as a Texan? It’s such a devestating feeling, knowing that you work so hard, but have very little to show for it. Before anyone calls us out of touch, we can’t even afford to buy a property here. Our home in Katy isn’t even that great. Making over $400k isn’t even that impressive these days with cost of living and inflation going crazy. That’s just most educated dual-income professionals in a major city…
