The problem arises when you want to start making more money. You can’t really have both, without being a freelancer. And that’s got its own issues.

Start saving in your early 20s. Your career and your earning potential don't last as long as you expect, and the best time to prepare for the future is when it is decades away.

this is so true! when you’re super young it seems like it’s ok to be constantly annoyed at work and as though jobs are dropping from the sky and there will always be another one.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
