Yes, that is absolutely the truth. You do the grunt work till someone finds you and is willing to give you less grunt work.

This article should be read by every Millennial ever including myself.

First off, I love your username. Second, your self esteem is something that you can rebuild at any time without anyone else. It requires a bit of accountability and facing reality. I found a lot of help with the “Six Pillars of Self Esteem.” Its not a religious book, its a book about the concept of Self Esteem. There…

My wife is an anxious person who chronically panics over little things. Part of what I’ve had to do as a husband is to help her calm down and focus on the things she can control in the situation she is in. She is actually diagnosed with OCD. The symptoms aren’t like what they say on TV. She isn’t making sure every…

So it will be able to replicate my texting and eating while driving.

We called Tommy Bahama and said, “We’re planning an event, can you take all of the payment in Gift Cards” and they said yes. We had an open bar and $3000 worth of…

I had the complete opposite problem, I grew up without a need in the world and very unrealistic about money. My parents are upper middle class and they paid for everything for me. So when I started out on my own, I immediately starting living paycheck to paycheck even though I had a good salary. I didn’t learn…

0% interest and a year to pay off is just smart. I automate payments for the next year and sit on it easy. Every week we were paying $50 for new furniture for one year. Better than eating $2500 at once.
