Dull Men's Club
A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
**6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I use to think working till retirement wasn't going to be hard as long as you have the skills to get a decent job. I have a good job but just sitting down and focusing on work is so hard right now. I feel 30 years of working is enough but I have potentially 20 more ahead. Don't know where that motivation will come from as it is spent.
At some point the only motivation is the numbers in your retirement account. I’m a little farther along and definitely losing motivation, but I have kids in college, and way too little set aside to be able to retire
I hear you. Things keep getting more expensive too. I have a non-communicating autistic boy so my retirement plans also include his end of life needs. Cant rely on any govt help anymore. I'll probably be working till I die
