Meh. When McDonald’s is the subject of just about every Burger King ad, not sure you can say they’ve “owned” anybody. Like they only exist in relation to McDonald’s and have nothing else to say for themselves. The implicit message in so much of their advertising is “hey we also exist!” They remind me of the kid in the Don Draper elevator meme.

I think this sort of thing would make fans out of very young (15 and under) consumers who haven't picked their fav fast food burger yet, but for anyone who has sampled both, this won't change any behavior whatsoever. I may like BK's swagger, but I'm also a fan of McD's sweet Americana. I bet if you dive into the numbers BK's sales are no better in relation to McD than they ever were, but I'm glad they're trying.

My boyfriend of a year got a DUI this weekend and has had drinking problems in the past. He fully admits he is an alcoholic, and will do therapy/go to AA moving forward. My therapist suggested I be a “computer program running in the background” and essentially leave him to allow him to work on himself. This is obviously a really hard decision, and I feel like I should listen to my therapist, but my heart is pulling me the other way. Anyone else been through something similar or have advice?

I was planning to buy a home next year, but now I expect to renew my lease once it expires. If so, I wouldn't be buying a home for at least 2 years from now.

Guessing I should still leave the down payment in a HYSA (getting 3% right now)? Sucks to miss out on market returns, but I understand that conventional wisdom is not to invest money you'll need in the short term (within 3ish years). I'm definitely tempted to put a portion of that in VTI though...
