Does setting the language to Korean also improve battery life?

I’m waiting to see the story of the couple that were in $300,000 debt, won the powerball lottery and paid it off in a year. “If they can pay off $300k in debt in a year, so can YOU!”

That legit looked like Frisky Dingo/Archer to me scrolling by haha.

Her mother using a non-profit to give this entitled little ass a salary that would be competitive in DC (and clearly far above market in IA) is the most galling part. Sorry, people who donated for a cause, my little Sunshine needs to pay off her law school debt before that money can go to any actual good causes.

I wanted to punch something when I read that story, especially how much she’s getting paid working at her mom’s nonprofit. *cough* someone’s profiting *cough*

Wish I had this when I was searching for a post image. That looks fun!

Yep. I think I remember that. If it’s the same one I read, they relocated from a coast to the midwest for a job at an organization run by one of the parents, rented out the house the parents bought them to move in with a grandparent who also paid them to take care of her house while they lived there. It was a lot of…

...If I can do it, anyone with wealthy and generous parents who will do 9/10 of it for you can do it. So empowering!

When I was in high school* we did car smashes as a fundraiser. We’d buy a junker, tow it to the schoolyard and sell swings with a sledgehammer five for a dollar.

It was worse.

I read a story about a couple that was able to pay off their student loans because they moved out of the condo one of their set of parents had given them. They moved back in with parents, and then rented out the gifted condo and used that towards the loan payback. I don’t think I’ve ever rolled my eyes so hard.

A lot of these stories also have really unrealistic housing situations. Sorry, I’m not moving to a house with 8 others in exchange for a 2 hour commute. The cost of time/sanity outweigh the desire to be debt free.

Like most things when it comes to success, I find that advice from failures is usually better than advice from success. Hearing about staying thin, by someone who’s never been fat, is more annoying than useful, and I’d much rather discuss weightloss with people who have struggled with it, and dealt with issues along…

Their aim was really off on this one.

I don’t think you should lose your job just because you asked for a raise...

What do you mean she stopped coming in? He eliminated her position! I probably wouldn’t come in if my job was eliminated, too.

Well first you should pick the baby back up.

So, I should avoid using phrases like “be met with fire and fury, the likes of which the world has never seen,” right? Good to know.
