Girlfriend requires a $ 15K-a-month, 3-bedroom NYC apartment with outdoor space and crown molding, much to her boyfriend’s dismay: ‘I pay for 70% of everything, including rent.’
Even in New York City, $15K a month is an absurd price for an apartment Everyone knows that it’s not cheap to live in New York City. At the most basic level, it’s a supply-and-demand issue. New York isn’t building as much new housing as places like Charlotte or Austin, so the supply is more …

Customer gives restaurant worker $5000 tip, manager demands they split it between every employee: ‘Am I selfish to want to object?’
Should large tips always be something to share? It is no secret that working in the hospitality industry can sometimes be a gruelling and thankless task. The mixture of unsociable hours and consistently annoying customers is enough to turn anybody into a misanthrope focused on little else than the money. This is yet another source …

Stepdad refuses to pay for his stepchild’s college at the expense of his kid’s college funds: ‘My wife says it’s not fair that my child will have enough money for 4 years at college and her child will not.’
Is his stepkid’s education his responsibility? When couples get married, they often combine all of their finances. They don’t differentiate between his and her money: they make all their financial decisions as a team, which helps them build wealth better than they would if they kept everything separate. It’s easier to combine finances without issue …

25-year-old daughter asks mom to pay off all her student loan debt for her Theater degree with her $200K inheritance, but mom refuses: ‘I knew she wasn’t the next Broadway actor.’
She made her bed, now lie in it. You should consider student loan debt when choosing your college major. If your parents are paying for your schooling, or you got a full-ride, it’s less risky to major in your passion, because at least you won’t be paying for your degree for 10+ years after graduating. …

16-year-old refuses to give his unemployed 53-year-old father $200 a month for gas money: ‘If you weren’t this bad off before I got a job, why are you now?’
How shameless can you be? It’s pretty common for teenagers to ask their parents for money, only to be told, «Get a job!» It’s perfectly reasonable to expect a 16-year-old to work for their own pocket change in order to teach them the value of the dollar. It’s much less common for that dynamic to …
