He gave her a firm no, but she didn’t push the matter. There’s a lot of social stigma around asking people for money, and for good reasons. Nobody is entitled to anyone else’s money, even if that person would gladly and freely give their money away. It can come off as entitled to ask your …

She shouldn’t have to live independently during the holiday season. I’m not on board with parents who kick their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18.

One of the greatest joys of having a roommate is dealing with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

28-year-old father of 2 asks his 22-year-old college student girlfriend to move in with him and pay half of his bills: ‘He said “we’d be a family” and that his kids would be like mine in the future’
I have one piece of advice for y’all: never move in with a partner just to cut down on bills. I know it can feel so tempting to go from paying four figures in rent to three figures, but if the relationship is not ready for that step, it will have disastrous consequences. You shouldn’t …
