I agree. They are the worst. And I rarely enjoy myself. I know they aren’t about me and are about the bride, but they can be exhausting.

Same. I also have the most demanding job out of all of my friends from high school or college and they never understand when I don’t want to drink all weekend when I have to go back to work on Monday.

All of the wedding festivities added up will result in you being broke - correct statement.

Engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette, dress shopping followed by lunch, wedding gift….

I wasn't even in the wedding and I was still expected to shell out $1,000 to fly down to FL for a weekend. F that noise, I had my own wedding to save/pay for that year. And yes, 7 years later I'm still salty that the MOH tried to make us feel bad for saying no.

Let’s have a growth mindset.

I’m easily spending $450 on a flight to Nashville and I had to Venmo almost $500 for lodging, groceries and some fun things like line dancing.. sad thing is, that doesn’t include drinks and food when we’re out. I love my friends but dropping over 1k on an exhausting four day weekend just isn’t for me

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I started a T-Mobile family plan in 2014. Since then I’ve expanded to 8 lines on my grandfathered plan, paying $180 for unlimited talk text and data. My friends with the other lines are paying me $30 a month per line and are very grateful because they were all paying 65-80 individually.

This was a good investment.

If the thoughts in our head could be classified into two very broad groups - internal and external.
Internal - thoughts about yourself in which you might be analyzing yourself or your own actions etc.
External - thoughts about others in trying to understand how the world works.
The more time you spend on internal, the more you blame yourself; >time on external ≈ >blame others.

I hate my job. Absolutely despise it. Wake up/go to sleep every day with a heavy dread for the future. Grind my teeth in my sleep. Gaining weight. Blood pressure spikes whenever my phone goes off. Becoming unable to hide my disdain for coworkers and clients on calls, emails, etc. Have a loving and supportive partner but feel like I can't relate to her at all because she enjoys her work. I don't want to go back to my post-graduation poverty but damn, at least I felt like I was a real person.
