I buy all kinds of "men's" products to save money. I'll get t-shirts at Walmart from the men's sections because a plain v-neck men's shirt is usually $2-4 cheaper than something from the women's section. I just wear them around the house anyway, so I don't care if they're not perfectly contoured to my curves.

Same with other promotions. Like, Uno’s Chicago Grill will send me “free meal with purchase of X other meal” vouchers from time to time, and I will always make sure we tip like we are paying for two meals - because the server took care of two patrons, not just one. I don’t like to tip based on price, I tip based on…

After leaving a job where it was expected I was on call 24/7 (without it ever actually being stated that was the expectation), I push myself to actually take the day off when I have the day off. That means weekends, holiday time off, vacation days, and sick days are MINE, not theirs. I specifically looked for…

What do you do that your employer is so dependent upon you that you have to work through the weekend or else the business will fail? That’s the only reason I can assume your job security is so dependent upon being so available on the weekend. They should really work on some position redundancy.

Uh, finding someone who I don't argue with, don't have issues with, like being around, and accept their flaws is pretty much the whole point of me dating. We all should be so lucky to "settle", I guess.

So, PDF attachment?

Well, obviously I don't recommend that they say exactly that! At that juncture in my work history, I probably would have said something like, "XCompany seems like a good place for me to build on my great skill set in customer service because, from what I've researched, your culture is focused on that." And you can use…

For "adult" jobs / career type jobs, I totally understand the worth of asking and answering this question. It's a good way for the company to gauge if you had enough interest to do some research, and it gives me the opportunity to think about if I would be happy in the position beyond a paycheck.

This is what I always understand the question as. A way for you to essentially ask me how much I looked into the company. Prove to you that, yes, I want the job because of money, but do I at least care enough to look into the company and see that I would maybe be happy there or not.

I agree this is really great advice for if you're certain you want to resign. I think the article was giving people a potentially beneficial psychological activity to take part in to assess whether or not you ACTUALLY want to resign. I'm sure everyone has thought to themselves, "UGH TODAY SUCKS I WANT TO QUIT," and…

As kids, my sister and I received "allowance" when we did a task that was above and beyond what was typically expected of us. We were supposed to keep our rooms clean and help with the dishes just because that's what you do. We'd usually get $20 if we did a big yard work project. or something like that, that wasn't…

Exactly. I think most people would much rather just stay home, but there are a lot of reasons why just going to work are so appealing. Some offices will make you feel like there's just no way they can survive without you if you're out sick for a couple days. They'll call and/or email with problems and tasks even if…

Well, our dog needed $1500 total in unexpected vet bills, including ultimately being euthanized. We just didn't have that available to us all up front, and I couldn't justify dipping into my emergency fund for that, but we can definitely make more manageable payments every month and pay it off in two or three, but now…

Alternatively, get the haircut you like. I'm sure my shorter, layered bob makes my round face look more pudgy, but I like it, it's fun, and it's easy to take care of. I used to spend 20 minutes blowing my hair dry every morning before work, but now I spend not even 5.

This is something we will do with our next furkid. The vet we used for our German Shepherd was on the high end of the spectrum for pretty much everything. The emergency clinic was priced about the same as that regular vet, which is just ridiculous; an emergency clinic should theoretically cost much more.

I know what happens if I do not pay the balance off during the financing periods, thanks. You have to be smart about using the card, obviously, and know the different financing options and if your provider participates and which options they offer.

I applied for, and received, a $5000 credit limit for Care Credit. It's financing that's accepted at most veterinary clinics. I consider it a "saving money tip" because it allows me to pay for the procedure upfront and then pay the balance off gradually. Most procedures will fall under their promotional financing…

Do you honestly feel like you are qualified? Usually when I apply for a job I can be honest with myself about whether it's a safety job or a reach job. On paper you may seem qualified, which is why they want to interview, but if you can't speak yourself up, maybe they have second thoughts. They also may feel you are…

I agree. They usually don't care about the actual failure, they care about how you handled that failure. If you were faced with the same situation, are you intelligent enough to have learned from the last time it happened? Did you learn how to avoid the situation?

Your comment about using "we" was one of the hardest things to do, personally. I had to actively avoid using "we" and substitute "I" where it was accurate. Stop talking about what the team did, and just focus on what I did.
