How do y’all handle these on LinkedIn?

Plot twist, I went to high school with this one but we weren’t really friends. I feel like I want to tell him to stop this shit but idk how to do so nicely or if me wanting to be nice is the problem.

Normally I ignore, but I feel like if you don’t tell them it’s inappropriate they’ll just do it again and the words I have to express that so far are....not kind lol.

This brought me so much joy.

“That’s wildly inappropriate. Nobody asked, and they certainly didn’t ask on LinkedIn. Please take your attempted charm elsewhere”. 😒😒😒😒

I don’t think you need to be nice, per say, but I’d probably couch it as “feedback” so he actually takes it to heart. Something along the lines of “Thanks, but I’m going to be candid with you, women don’t appreciate receiving message like this — myself included. It’s inappropriate and makes us feel uncomfortable. I hope you can understand and refrain from sending similar messages to women in the future. Best of luck.”

I’d like some financial input. I have $56k in a high yield savings account. Other than my checking acct (3-4k) and Roth/401k (which goes untouched) it’s basically all the money I have. (Zero debt/loans, no house/car) Should I be doing something else with part of the money? I know nothing about stocks or investing. Any thoughts?
