I just had one of those days where all I did was listen to people whine for 8 hours. 😟 Anyone else?

Not specifically today but it happens to me a lot so I understand how you feel. Those days are horrible and seem endless.

I sympathize with you, it has happened to me a lot too. The best thing is when the time is finally over and I can go back to my couch to relax and watch a series.

Sorry you had a day like that :/ Did you do anything nice for yourself for self care?

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
