As a brand new New Yorker, I often think about the circumstances under which I would be able to live «on my own.» Even if I suddenly came into a large amount of money, I probably wouldn’t be financially savvy to live alone unless I won the lottery. The best idea I’ve come up with …

Company takes 6 PTO days away from employee for taking too many days off in 2023, despite the company not having PTO in 2023: ‘Is this LEGAL???’
PTO is a sacred thing. Companies usually give as little of it as they can, but once they give it, they seldom can take it away without a great deal of pushback. Some companies can take their employee’s PTO away retroactively, having it expire if they haven’t used it in a timely manner. It might …

‘You’re stealing our money’: Students get back at vending machine owner who refuses to fix his faulty yet extremely profitable machine
Every student has had a moment in which they were desperate for food and nothing is available other than one vending machine.

When you’re in a relationship, sharing finances can spell trouble. Money remains one of the top reasons that couples fight with each other.

‘Credit scores are a scam’: Driver pays off car, gripes about drop in credit score
You’ve got to spend money to make money, or so they say. The hidden addendum to this popular phrase is that it’s usually other peoples’ money that you’re spending in the process. One of the craziest things about being a responsible adult is that you’re generally considered more trustworthy financially when you have some (well-managed) …

Recruiter rejects candidate because they want to make at least £25K per year: ‘It’s not something I can guarantee at this stage’
Ever since I was in college, I’ve gotten wild recruiter requests in my LinkedIn DMs. For some reason, the people at Volunteer For America and other low-paying teaching companies think that telling you they pay $15 an hour is a swanky deal for early 20-somethings trying to get their careers started. I don’t have the …

Living in New York City, I’m no stranger to absurd prices being thrust into my line of sight every time I go to the grocery store.

Coworker demands employee come in unpaid on his day off to check freezer temperature: ‘Yea, I ain’t doing that’
To work or not to work when you’re not being paid? That is the million-dollar question many employees have to ask themselves daily. In my honest opinion, I think whether you can or should work off the clock depends on what kind of job you have. If you have a coffee shop MacBook gig paying …

‘They need their 25-year-old to subsidize their lifestyle’: Mom charges son $600 in rent, retaliates when he wants to move out
Living with your parents when you’re an adult is a tough gig. It’s nice to have a free (or usually cheap) place to land, but it often comes at a price. You usually forgo your privacy, independence, and some level of maturity. But it’s a tradeoff. Rent is incredibly expensive these days, no matter where …
