Recently divorced, no kids—thinking about selling my furniture so that I can handle the move on my own. Moving costs are really adding up. Any advice or experiences to share?

I’m sorry for what you are going through. Sell it and make a fresh start. Clear mind, clear life.

That said, if your furniture is legit antique please don’t sell it. Otherwise take the money and buy what you want.

Don’t know.
I find it too burdensome to move those things. Maybe just moving boxes are enough for me because now I don’t have any help.( not just no husband but also no family)

From experience, in this situation do whatever is going to make your life easiest, pretty much regardless of cash

5. Have another business generating revenue to offset this.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea. My fault was I did not ask the HR and just gave my asking salary. When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.
