This constant working is a big reason why old CP+Bers have a frat/sorority-like bond. The hours are terrible, but we are all in the thick of it together.

No, the constant working gave us legitimate PTSD and therapy bills. The bond happened because we were all 25 and Boulder is all college students and families, so we just had each other. -Sincerely, and old CPBer

That analogy is sure coming from someone who went to a fraternity/sorority and I think that says it all about the whiteness of our industry.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely. Everything’s been remote for them for a while anyway and will likely continue to be. Any thoughts on how to approach this scenario? Want to do right, but don’t want to be overly precautious either.
