Single parents,

How do you handle elementary kids and Mon- Thu travel?

Grandparents, Au pair, Nanny, Boarding School. Or, honestly, get a new job. It's hard to be a primary parent if you're not there half the time. There are lots of jobs that pay about the same - and far more if you're paying for childcare 4 days a week - and don't make you travel like that.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

had a level 3 lock down today (active shooter/imminent threats). no one was harmed but it left me wondering what else can I have in my classroom or do to keep my kids safe or fight back? (Hacks/tips)

Does anyone else HATE--and I mean that explicitly--their current home city? I'm so embarrassed about living in this dump that I've been stuck in for 6 years. Covid just made it worse without travel

I’m looking start a new career as a marketing consultant/strategist. I was a mechanical engineer for about 9 years and then took a few years to travel, study marketing, and do some freelance digital marketing work.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any agencies that are hiring marketing consultants/strategists that I could look into. Thanks!

Hey ladies, I have to vent. I’ve been in a friends with benefits on and off situation with this guy for 10 years. I recently hit him up because we haven’t spoken in a year and I missed him. Long story short, he cheated on his current gf with me. I asked him if he had any regrets. He said he feels bad, but it was worth it. I just don’t understand how he can physically melt in my presence but after all this time doesn’t want to *be* with me

The beginning of my wife and my journey - let’s see what happens from here. We both came from very poor families and have had to take loans out to pay for everything. I just graduated from MBA and she from dental school, combined we earn ~$330k and will likely continue to see that amount grow and provide better lives for us and our family. Just a reminder that we all start in different places and no one should be disheartened by those who are more fortunate. Each persons path is their own.

In a tiny (only $52,000 in damages) litigation matter that should have been a simple trial on a simple issue (breach of contract), OC has filed 9 unsupportable motions, 7 of which had prayers for fees, including one claiming an ethics violation by me. All overruled. OC's latest brief in opposition to our motion to compel is a 13-page, babbling, word-salad mess with 126 pages of exhibits. It does not address our arguments and any 1L could have written a better brief. Judge should punish her!

So many people I know (including myself) have put in their 2 weeks notice and are switching companies/firms (across various industries). People seem extra miserable at their jobs right now and idk if it’s mainly due to COVID or employers just overworking and undervaluing their employees more than before. Anyone noticed and/or feel the same way or am I just seeing this because I’ve been in school my whole life and this is my first “real” job?
