I’d also suggest reading the room a little. If you’re invited out for drinks, sure, have a drink. If you’re invited out for dinner, a low-key drink or two is probably fine. If you’re invited out for coffee, ordering alcohol would be weird.

Another alternative is to do the opposite. Engine No. 1, an activist shareholder group that recently got several of its nominees named to the board of Exxon in an attempt to force Exxon to go greener, recently launched a fund that votes its shares to promote sustainable policies.  If you invest with a fund like that,…

The obvious solution is to have an old-fashioned stand-alone alarm clock as a backup.

Cash back credit cards and travel, um, reward cards are pretty nice.  It’s like getting discounts on pretty much everything you buy.

Your mileage may vary, but generally the six per month limit is only for online withdrawals. If you move money from your savings account to a checking account at a branch or ATM, it shouldn’t count against the limit.

“it’s just a cash-in on the growing conservative demand for products that are brand MAGA.”

“Social anxiety can also be a contributing factor, like when a group of people are out enjoying themselves and you develop a gnawing sense of FOMO.”

I guess this simplifies the logistics a little, but several other issuers, such as Citi, Fidelity, and TD Bank, offer credit cards that pay 2% cash back on everything and don’t need to be applied to your student loans.  It might be better to preserve the flexibility of spending the 2% cash back elsewhere, whether…

Depending on your industry—law and finance come to mind—”having fun” with your out of office probably tells your supervisor that you might be happier in a different industry.

“Woke” is one of those words that says far more about the person saying it than the person he’s trying to use it against. You may think that uttering the word constitutes some kind of brilliant insult or painful put-down, but all you’re doing is marking yourself as a gullible rube who gets all of his talking points…
