2019 helped me realize that my job is never going to pay me (or my colleagues) the amount we’re owed. We had a tremendous amount of turnover in 2019. They can’t hire decent employees to replace them because of low starting salary and keep hiring overweight losers, who have failed at previous careers, in order to fill what is supposed to be a somewhat physical role.

My wife is also a teacher, has a Masters, and makes 40k. The goal is to get the hell out of Louisiana with our 3 year old and never ever ever ever look back.

My bad year was 2017. One of the worst. Just got to keep on going. 2020 is looking up. 2019 was great for 401K and personal investments.

Yeah, 2018 was my worst year ever. It seemed like it was something every other day. 2019 was tons better. That being said as bad as I thought my 2018 was it compares nothing to some of y’all’s problems. God has really blessed me.

2019 was pretty good to me after a mostly rough 2018.

Hope 2020 is good to you all and keep your eye on the prize, this world is not our home. God bless

Thanks but none of that happened in 2019.... stuff just got worse after my divorce (with a little bit attributed to the divorce or ex wife its been all new stuff). Its been a pretty consistent kick in the dick the last 2 years.

Dude, every woman on fb has been posting how bad 2019 was, a meme about how bad it was, or how much of a roller coaster their life had been. Gl join that party over there

Thanks. It’s not just the stress of infertility for us. Dealing with my family and other issues has taken a massive toll on our marriage.

I’m gonna fight like hell for my marriage though. Both of us need to make changes but I can only change myself so will focus on that. I just hope and pray it’s enough cause I will be shattered otherwise.

In 2020 I hope to strengthen my faith and relationship with Christ. I don’t give enough of myself to that and I really should. (Having a spouse that has turned his back on his own faith hasn’t helped that).

My faith and knowing that He loves me and is right by my side during all the pain and heartache and tears is what got me through 2019.

Let’s see,

Since June 10th I’ve spent over $100k on my house due to flooding, mold remediation and general repairs/painting

I’d say I’ve been pretty fricking frustrated dealing with contractors and whatnot.

At least business and my family life has been pretty solid.

Advice, if you are married, you will have problems from time to time. Finances and family incursions can really cause problems. When it is just you and him, talk to him, be honest, make him feel loved and respected, ask him how to deal with the family issues, listen, take to heart, work on mutually beneficial compromises, and things can work out to where you are both happy. Sometimes, there are going to be things that causes him trouble and it is not your fault, just strife. Figure out a a way to not let your sex life play into this all. Something can happen in my marriage and my wife is pissed or upset, but that does not play into our sex life. She can be mad as hell at 5Pm, but about 11PM, crazy in the sheets, and the next morning be like she was at 5pm. Never use SEX as a weapon. My 2 cents. Good Luck

Had some major problems, a lot of changes.

But or was a fantastic year. Problems are simply opportunity.

2019 was just ok for me. Nothing terrible happened but it was shittier than 2018 overall.

I'm optimistic about the future though. It's really the only way I know how to go through life.

Spent entirely too much time working and very little time having fun. Got my debt consolidated finally and made a shitton of progress getting it under control, but in doing so I spent less than a month at home. Sacrifice for future success...


I applaud you for this! Do what you are supposed to do before what you want to do. A little sacrifice is also good for the soul. Congratulations, it all gets better when your finances are under control.

I think some people truly have bad years. And then have good years. I haven’t personally said every year was a bad one. I’ve had lots or great years which I’m grateful for. But can say the last few recent ones have seemed to have lots of bad stuff happen back to back.

Look at many from BR in 2016. Many of them would agree that 2016 was a horrible year.

I've adopted more of an Eastern/Zen philosophy, and it's made a world of difference. I really appreciate each day regardless of whether it goes my way.

Learned to adapt to everything and to be far less materialistic


I had some major family issues, still have Leukemia, by dream job fell to State budget cuts but I ended on my feet, and at peace.

This. 2019 is the first year that started to look up since then but the horribleness is still not over so I am hoping things keep moving upward and not backward in 2020.
