I feel like this is me to all my clients, and it has trickled down into a problem where I can't justify any purchases outside of my needs. I think it's healthy to spend some amount of money on your wants as well, but it's been pretty challenging. Does anyone here want to help me see this differently? What are things you allow for yourself in your miscellaneous expenses?

I think you're right to say it's only 'healthy' to allow yourself some wants. You don't have to worry you'll go overboard considering the principles you live by. Personally, self care, holidays and certain expensive gifts for occasions are things I will allow myself without batting an eye.

Tips for bankruptcy associates who eventually want to move in-house? 3rd year associate in bankruptcy/restructuring group doing mainly bk lit but a few deals too. Need to stay in BL for at least another year for the money, but eventually want to move in-house. The path to in-house seems more straightforward for general commercial lit or more standard transactional practices. Any tips for someone who’s practice is a bit of a hybrid (and who will never likely do discovery or handle a depo)

Had an interview today, for RN OnCall position. This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet
