Met up with a friend in another country. Originally he didn't want to which I was fine with. Then he said sure once I backed off... when we met up he wanted me to book everything and plan out the days. He wanted me to convince him to do things. Like wtf. He's like I'm good with anything n then would be like I don't want to eat this or do xyz. And on top He was just bitching about his cousin...like bro I'm on vacation keep your shit to yourself. What is wrong with him

No he has never acted like this before. Felt like he turned his brain off or something. I left as soon as I could lol. Ain't no one got time to be his mom

From the time I could tell he didn't really want to meet up I would have left it at that. Sounds like you pretty much wasted your time with this person.

100%. I did leave it at that. But he wanted to meet up so I was like sure since our paths were crossing and had no idea he was going to act like this. But yes 1 day wasted 🫠. Not sure why he would show up though if he wanted to act like this...

Always been a fan of FIRE and reading about it has definitely helped my finances but I can’t help but wonder if the movement is more about lifestyle change than early retirement.

After you achieve FI,you basically have to maintain the lifestyle that got you there.

What if you want to go on a lavish vacation or buy that flatscreen TV? Are you supposed to do away with material goods entirely? I suppose you could keep working for discretionary $ and live off interest but then you’re not retired.

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool.

I'm single and not mad that he finds me attractive, more worried that all my other coworkers heard him calling me while they waited with him!!

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

I am currently at a firm and received an in-house offer. Aside from main items like comp and big ticket benefits like PTO/health insurance/401k, what other items do I need to think about discussing/negotiating? For example, fees to keep bar licensure, professional association fees, CLEs, etc. I feel like there is so much on that end I currently take for granted being covered at my firm. Anything else I should consider?
