Transferring is best bang for buck. Look for Amex sweet spots (Aeroplan redemptions for Star Alliance Business, using Avios to get to Hawaii on AA, Virgin Atlantic to fly on Delta without paying fuel surcharges, etc.)

I am struggling with mild depression to a point where it takes every ounce of energy in me to care about the work I have to do. Apathy has been my biggest obstacle, and guilt compounds on top of it because I am completely aware that I am slacking and struggling yet I find myself stuck and unable to move forward on a task.

I make a very low salary and can’t afford unpaid time off. Anyone have any tips if they have been in a similar position? I am seeing a therapist as well.

Thoughts on putting unproduced social/print comps in your book?
