Just learned that the woman who does my botox (owns two spas) earns nearly $1m annually.

Why the hell am I still grinding it out in consulting !? 😅

She owns two businesses…open up a successful small business

It's funny because I come from a family where almost everyone (minus me and my brother) runs small businesses and are very successful, but I always thought I just couldn't hack it. Like I didn't have luck on my side or something.

I'm probably just a coward though haha

Owning 2 businesses is not easy. She’s worked hard and made sacrifices to get where she is now, so the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Oh believe me I'm not at all saying it was or is easy! I'm just referring strictly to earning potential since I don't see myself being able to reach that ever. At least not if I stay at my current firm even long term.

Gross or net?

Yeah I think we’re conditioned to believe that you only make a lot of money with “highly skilled” professional services work that necessitates a lot of education…but these types of businesses can bring in a ton of cash. I mean think about how much you pay for Botox and how many appointments she must have a day/week/month. I’m not surprised at all about how much is being brought in. It’s impressive whether it’s gross or net

My cleaning lady now drives to our apartment and finds street parking. She got a ticket last week for not seeing the signs. I suggested to her if the signs weren’t clear she could contest it. I’m struggling here - should I pay for the ticket? On one level, she has worked with us for a long time, but I also don’t think it’s necessarily my responsibility. I give her a nice bonus and raise each year. Do I pay it once as a good will gesture? She has other clients too that she drives too.

Hi ladies! Need your opinion and advice on a slightly awkward topic
I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
