Both of these things can only help. Meditation also helps
Public schools aren't "cheap," they lack the funding to either implement a ratio like this or to pay enough to recruit and retain talented staff
One on one isn't even necessary, look at the Montessori curriculum, two competent Montessori guides can manage a classroom of 30 kids with each kid working at their own pace (within guardrails, of course). The structure of public education in the US is a problem in addition to chronic underfunding

It's totally different though. Sports betting is an all or nothing affair, you put money on an outcome, you either win or lose, then it's over.
Day trading (and now vibe trading/meme stocks) may be similar, however investing in a company with good fundamentals long-term carries significantly less risk.
Many companies offer dividends, so you can make money even without the stock price itself increasing. And in holding a diversified portfolio of quality stocks long-term, meaning you ignore market fluctuations, the risk of losing everything is basically zero, and the likelihood of your portfolio increasing in value approaches 100%
I gotta disagree that the stock market is inherently gambling. If an investor does their due diligence, looks at the fundamentals of a company, and makes an informed decision to invest, they are very likely to see some sort of return on that investment.
Unfortunately, we're deep into "vibe investing" territory now, where stats like P/E ratios no longer seem to matter to either institutional investors or many casual investors. Where people are dumping their money is now disconnected from where it's wise to dump money
I was going to say this, being able to talk comfortably about that stuff is usually a sign of emotional security. It's not your mom's to share though
Definitely. Relationships are hard
I think you're totally right, but also don't underestimate the average person's willingness to tolerate being in a bad or even toxic relationship. A lot of those folks are commenting here in this thread
Yeah you had me in the first half but went off the rails there
I work with people experiencing homelessness, and I've worked inpatient psych where I saw the full gamut of socioeconomic statuses, and can confidently tell you people who attribute their depression to external factors that are out of their control universally fail in treatment. There are a ton of people on the street who aren't depressed, and a bunch of rich people who want for nothing who are depressed. Sometimes, depression is caused by a neurotransmitter issue and meds work, but more often the issue is a pattern of thinking and perception, and the only treatment is learning new ways to think.
