What is your method for paying bills, or investing for retirement? My husband and I pool our money together to cover all expenses and savings and then we each are given a certain percentage of income to personally spend on whatever we want. I feel like this method keeps us both accountable to what we buy while letting us spend on what we want. We are in our late 40s & I feel like the more I talk to friends they are saving the bare minimum or not at all. How do you all manage your spending/saving

I cringe when I'm at a friend's house and they answer their phone, find out it's a telemarketer, and just hang up on them. It's so rude. They know I have to cold-call people at my job and you'd think they would at least act like they were more respectful of the job.

Does anyone have any suggestions on small side gigs or other ways to make some quick cash for the holidays?

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son.

I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
