It's funny to see people get upset that others are either investing or saving their stimulus checks and blaming the economic recovery on them. Don't remember anyone saying squat when corporations used

Bailout money and the new tax bill to bring back billions in cash and buyback their own stock. Suddenly if I save some of the stimulus money to help my rainy day fund (which is being depleted with SO out of work) I'm the problem. Get outta here with that nonsense.
I hope folks save the stimulus check if they need to because doesnt look like there will be more stimulus coming.

You don't remember people complaining about that? Must've been in a coma.

But I agree, if we get a check, spend it however you want. Same should apply to businesses too.
Buyback, issue dividends do whatever.

Nobody should be getting checks from Taxpayers.

Recently put an offer down on a home. Given the market, had to waive the appraisal contingency. The appraiser’s report came back with a significant shortfall. We can cover it but want to push back on the appraiser since there appear to be numerous inconsistencies in the report. Anyone dealt with this experience before? Any tips?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side.

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
