In this case hub was associated with a manager who fired someone who was associated with hub’s manager’s manager (from what I understand it was a valid firing) and so he got laid off instead of someone else who was set to retire anyway and who was originally supposed to be the one laid off. Yay. Whatever. Got rehired…

Hub knew Bob (much higher up manager). Bob canned Sarah for valid reasons, Sarah was associated with Doug (lower manager but still high), Hub worked under Doug. Mike was going to retire and was set to be let go/early retire. Doug made the switch so that it was hub who was let go (as well as his position, mike’s…

I keep my savings account at an online bank, originally because they simply offered a better rate. But then it seems to also offer a little bit of security if anything happens with the traditional bank. I also have credit cards not associated with my bank. Two different companies. But I also keep savings in my regular…

I never let anything remember my password. I'm also paranoid but it's probably for the best in this world.

What happened at wellsfargo happens all the time at places that have sale quotas. I had them at sprint even when it didn’t make sense at all to the customer to offer them. People did shady things all the time to make their sales and these were customer service people, not sales people. But I will say that if they find…

A lot has to do with office politics that have little to do with you. Bosses having a war with each other with their employees or even just people associated with them get caught in the crossfire. The first layoff hub had was the last hired first fired rule but he got a job in a different division in the same company.

I’m glad that worked out for you but our 2009 was a nightmare.

Definitely get one for an RV. You will get the money you paid and then about 5 times more. And if you buy a bad hybrid. That Honda Civic hybrid never worked right. Ever. Thankfully that car is gone and only after the extended warranty expired. My in laws are the ones with the RV that they live in full time.

There are items that I feel more comfortable with having one, especially a Best Buy one where they’ll just replace it. The more likely an item can get torn or eaten by a cat or dropped the more likely I’ll pony up the cash for it. But things like TVs I won’t do again because the likelihood is that nothing will happen…

Finally they’re working on something useful and good. I can’t believe that went on for as long as it did. Especially when it was healthcare professionals who did it. :(

Sometimes that just means you get sacked. Some work places are toxic and disfunctional.

Too few actually are good by your definition (which likely goes with mine). Most are afraid for good reasons.

That’s not how I used cash! All it does is make me not able to track items (many cash places don’t do receipts, the receipts get lost, or I get rid of them because I can’t live buried under receipts) compared to debit and credit where there’s always a log of what I bought that I may track and refer to later when I…

I hope you gave them a good review. It’s hard to find good people who do good work in that industry.

I got therapy for other reasons, mainly general anxiety and depression, and it has helped change my outlook on money and has made good change overall possible with helping me make my foundation stronger to hold these changes. If you get benefits it maybe something to look into. You don't have to go weekly, you can go…

Tracking is your friend. It will find the truth as long as you’re willing to see it. It’s how I pulled myself out of debt and severe overspensing issues in under a year. Good luck!

Yea I’ve spent my whole childhood and adult life watching people’s court and you cannot change an agreement of free to $30 just because you’re mad. And no one consults an attorney for $30 worth of gas/pride. Either he’s not bright (which doesn’t mean he’ll do a bad job but it comes with its own headaches if you hired…

That was so weird. I honestly would have not indulged him as much as you did (though I’d be tempted just because I’m curious to see how far things will go) and would have waited to see if he would be willing to go through the effort of taking me to court. Especially if there wasn't an agreed upon price for the…

Just to make sure I didn't mishear, was this a free quote? Because it sounds like he said that at one point.

Same here. I’ve been reading a lot of those kinds of books and just overall life philosophies and how to incite change. No concrete answers on that still but it proved it was possible and what hurdles you have to get through to overcome them which is better than no insight.
