I have a bone to pick. Maybe this is because most of my life, I’ve been a freeloader who hasn’t had to pay my own rent (shoutout to 17 years of being a child), but I don’t understand when parents charge their children rent. If a person is under 18, there is no world where …

Company rewards loyal employee’s 10 years of work with 20¢ raise: ‘Wow now you can afford that hot tub’
Raises are a touchy subject. We’re told it’s impolite to talk about salary, but that it’s also up to us to ask for what we deserve. So where does that leave us in terms of asking for a raise? I applaud those who bust down their boss’s doors, armed with numbers and data and a …

‘They are just making up excuses to be lazy’: Restaurant delays paychecks for extreme weather, employee has biting response
«Oh I can’t, it’s raining» is a great excuse used by lazy people the world over. Sure, there are some instances in which rain does halt the activity you were planning to do.

Ah, Taxes. They are one of the most American things to complain about. Our forefathers didn’t dump a bunch of British tea in the Boston Harbor because they were mad about foreign policy.

29-year-old tech worker making $400K annually working 20 hours a week complains about being bored: ‘If he quits, good luck finding half that amount’
So many rich people are clueless about how good they have it. From the way richies talk online, anyone making less than $100K a year must be slumming in extreme poverty that can never be rectified. I understand that living «comfortably» differs amongst classes, but anyone saying that making $300,000 a year in NYC is …

I feel like even the diehard childfree have to admit there can be a couple of benefits to having kids, and one of these is that they might grow up and get into a relationship with someone who winds up being a delightful addition to the family.

‘You won’t be getting a $3.62 Venmo from me’: Twitter users examine levels of generosity in different income brackets
Stingy people are a pet peeve of mine. I’m not saying that everybody should stumble through life merrily giving up their life savings to any freeloader that comes along, but sometimes buying small things for friends and family is a nice thing to do! I hate owing money, but I hate miserliness more. Perhaps part …
