Also worth noting, I’ve seen some offices that shame people for not showing wealth (one guy was judged for a wearing a tshirt from Zara at S&). Then again S& is a special place for all :)

My dislike for realtors has never been stronger. While purchasing a property a few months ago we found somewhere that had dropped their price so I wanted to go in a little under or at ask. It’s not that he wouldn’t allow it but wanted us to go in at the original list price and I later found out he knew the listing agent. The industry as a whole needs a shake up in my opinion.

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom.

But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?
