I got myself out of debt. The the first time in years, I was debt free. I worked hard last year to accomplish this and it felt amazing. Hoping to be able to make some solid investments this year.

That’s a great way to start off the new year!

As they say, there is no new thing under the sun. That holds true for this past year. That doesn't mean it wasn't a positive year. No pleasant surprises and no earth-shaking shocks. The closest I came to something that never happened before was getting a jackpot payout on a slot machine. Unfortunately, I was betting the minimum at the time. Of course, had I been betting the maximum during that time I would have run out of money a long time before the jackpot hit. Bottom line -- I left $400 richer instead of $600 poorer. Ta-dah.

Hi so I need help. I currently work to bring clients into the company i work at for web design, social media management, and brand strategy. I also do this as feeelance on the side, so where do I draw the line between who I refer to the company I work for or who I personally do freelance for? I don’t want to short out the company I work for but also love freelance and am more than capable of the work.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
