Gas bill is through the roof this month. Is it worth it to do the budget plan billing with Peoples Gas? I’m not really understanding what the point is if you end up paying the same amount when they adjusted it at the end of the year…. Would love thoughts on why or why not to do it. I have a three bedroom condo and my bill was 450 this month.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Where can you buy a good office chair and sit/stand desk near Toronto? Getting them shipped from the US is mad expensive.

How do I politely decline that I’m not okay to make out in the first date or when the guy calls me over to his place after we meet/eat/drink? I want to take things slowly & know the person before getting physical. Not everyone might like this but that’s what I am & this whole thing appears off-putting.

Forgiveness - Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Forgiveness
Abdullah ibn az-Zubayr (RA) said on the minbar, "Make allowances for people and command what is right and turn away from the ignorant." (7:199) He said, "By Allah, we are only commanded by this ayat to accept people's character. By Allah, I will accept people's character as long as I am with them."

(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 244, Book 12, Hadith 7)

As a realtor, how do I find better commissions? The office I work in has only offered me low-tier listings, and they bring zero to none commission. I want to change that but don't know where to start. Any advice?

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.
