I’ve been thinking more seriously about remote roles as a way to protect work-life balance, but finding truly remote positions feels harder than it used to — and the competition seems intense.

For folks who’ve landed remote roles: how did you find them, and do they actually deliver better WLB in practice?

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.
