Mont Blanc pens were and continue to be seen as a status symbol among the more affluent community, and can only be fully appreciated by true pen enthusiasts who understand the qualities of fine writing instruments. Sadly, the younger generations these days have a hard time appreciating such qualities as they are more accustomed to typing rather than writing by hand.

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Never thought this was actually possible, but wife and I just hit $2m household net worth! We both are ex consultants now in tech few months before we turn 30. While we certainly worked hard, this has also made me realize the immense privilege and luck that is involved in hitting these crazy milestones. We cleared 500k HHI last year and are on track for 600k HHI this year. We're 95% invested (stocks + RE) so hoping for continued snowballing. Thanks for the amazing community here! 💖
