2/2/22 questions for 3/3/33
Today is a date that's a fun number, so I saw this idea going around to make yourself a time capsule for the next time this happens. I think my whole lj is a time capsule, but I do think it'd be fun to write a few notes to myself with questions and some optimistic projections about 2033.
Dear future Spacefem, here are things that are important to me now, I'd like updates. If there is some kind of time warp way to send me these answers BEFORE 2033 I would really appreciate it, if not, do your best.
- You are 53! What's that like? OMG 50s! I bet you have all the clarity and are brilliant. Do you have any advice for your 42 year old self that I should have known? Did you have a killer party for your 50th?
- Are you still updating livejournal? I hope so.
- Your children are 20 and 23 years old now, how are they doing? Did they become engineers? Scientists? Are they happy?
- Did you take your husband on an international vacation?
- How did your stock market investments do? FZROX is at $15.80 today and a little rocky. Did you weather the massive drops, or even predict any? Did it grow at an average of 4% a year or greater like the FIRE people think? It should be over $24. Are you retiring in two years?
- Did that UWMC meme stock you bought on a reddit whim ever increase?
- Did your house fall over or is it doing okay?
- Did you become a director at your company?
- Did COVID go away or are you still required to quarantine for 5 days if you get a positive test?
- Are you still rocking the same eddie bauer black leather coat that you think might last forever?
Thanks in advance for the answers, I'm sure you are very busy. Hang in there rockstar!
