TODAY'S QUESTION:Hi aunties! My partner and I have been long distance since we got together, and just recently they had to move back home because of Covid. The state they live in is very cheap, they will be there for 4 years getting a business degree, and they've made several offers for me to move in with them. But it's over 900 miles away and they are the only person I know there. How do I decide if I should move and when I should do it?

TODAY'S QUESTION:So I just got hired at this really small literal mom and pop cafe in the town I just moved to. When I was hired, the one owner told me I would get “$14 an hour plus cash tips.” Maybe I'm just fuckin stupid, but I didn't realize that that meant literally only the cash tips and I would not get paid any of the tips that people leave when they pay with a credit card. I asked her about credit card tips today and that's when she told me, very coldly, “Like I told you yesterday and the day you were hired, you get cash tips. We keep credit card tips.”Most of our payments are done with cards so I am missing out on a LOT of tips. I have never worked somewhere that I did not receive tip outs from credit card tips.

TODAY'S QUESTION:I recently got a new job with a big pay increase, better hours, more job security, etc., but now I've realized that I hate the career path I'm on right now. I'm a manufacturing supervisor and I don't want to manage people forever and I hate the capitalistic crunch to bleed my employees dry for revenue. I don't want to take a step back down in salary though. I've been thinking about looking for a career coach or a recruiter to try to figure out what kind of different jobs I would be qualified for, would actually like, and would be in a similar pay range. Are there consultants for that sort of thing? How do I find a good one?

TODAY'S QUESTION:Something has been really bothering me as my spouse and I try to plan our future. We're both looking toward early retirement and every single bit of advice I see for where to retire... just doesn't take into account being gay. At all. All the "retire here for the lowest taxes and best chance at a good life" advice points to states with awful track records about all queer stuff ever (looking at you, Florida-Alabama-Louisiana-Montana). My queer heart is so frustrated that I'm essentially ignored in this advice again and again (pretty standard in personal finance, I know) and I would just love your combined take on what to look for in a place to retire to that takes into account social safety nets and not literally trying to legislate my spouse and I out of existence. I guess I am feeling pretty disheartened about the idea that I have to retire to a state that's going to possibly harm my rate of return and make early retirement harder just because I am queer. Do I suck it up and move to Florida? Are those taxes worth it to support those broader social safety nets and so we just suck it up and pay those in the queer haven of upstate New York-and-or-Vermont?LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

TODAY'S QUESTION:A waiter in the restaurant where I work smells bad and almost the whole staff has complained about his particular odor.

TODAY'S QUESTION:I have over 100k in student loan debt, and I keep meeting other people with student loan debt that wax poetic about how they feel like “their money belongs to the department of education” and “they owe it to the country to pay that money back” “I made a commitment, I don't want loan forgiveness” and sentiments of that nature. Am I entitled or being an asshole by feeling like: I'm paying mine back because I have to, but I don't see anything noble about it and if I could get out of it, I would.

TODAY'S QUESTION:I take it you have investments in broad-based index funds (since it's the prudent thing to do)? At the same time, many of your posts have an anti-capitalist bent.How do you address this conflict? Mind you, I'm not pointing fingers here, because I'm in much the same situation—private equity overlords booted me out of a job, but my own capitalistic investments allowed me to walk away without any pain, so I don't know how to feel about that. A pat answer is to point towards ethical-investment funds, but while I was reading up on it, I ran across an article that mentioned Wells Fargo as one of the companies listed on some ethical index because they aren't in the sin or war industries.It turns out, as I scrolled back up, that the article was published before the Wells' fuck-the-customer practices came to light. I'd hardly call them an ethical company today, so these indexes aren't the solution that one would hope for.LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

In a good timeline, no one would have to prepare for a post-Roe world. Reproductive rights would be safely enshrined in our constitution, where they belong. Plus, ice cream would never melt.Unfortunately, last week's news made it abundantly clear that we're in a crappy timeline. I accepted this news with horror, but not surprise. My faith in my elected representatives is as melty as a tub of Americone Dream left on the counter overnight.But this isn't the time to despair. It's time to take action. Someone gave us the incredible gift of forewarning. We have two months to prepare. And there's a lot of steps you can take to protect yourself and others in your community from the appalling consequences of forced childbirth.Piggy and I hopped on an impromptu recording session to help our readers and listeners steel themselves for the fall of Roe v. Wade. And I'm thrilled to say we left our aimless thrashing and redundant moralizing on the cutting room floor! (Mostly.)

TODAY'S QUESTION:I have worked at a string of less than perfect places with toxic managers and owners. As a feisty Capricorn, all I want to do in my exit interview is to read the toxic motherfuckers I work under for filth. To say “You overwork us, lean on staff to the extreme, don't respect our personal lives, force people to come in sick, and engage in serial wage theft!” But I live in a big small town where the owners of these places all know each other. After some serious self-reflection, I can't really say I do anything wrong at work other than being over qualified for the job, highly competent, and sticking up for myself so I don't work for free or let people steal my wages. I know that bosses don't like people who know their rights. But I swear I'm otherwise a good employee. I'm finding myself in a smaller and smaller pool of places to seek employment because every time I try somewhere new it's the same toxic bullshit. And I am SICK of pretending that everything is fine when I inevitably quit for better wages or because I'm sick of the manager's BS. TLDR; how the hell do you speak your mind to a toxic boss in a small town when you quit without royally fucking your future job prospects?LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

TODAY'S QUESTION:How do I get people to take me seriously? I (24f) have a bubbly personality. I'm kind, I do well with children and babies, and I like to have fun. I throw themed parties for special occasions. I like to bake, I like to go dancing with my friends, and I dress in a very feminine way. I don't want to sacrifice those parts of my personality because they make me who I am, but I have a hard time getting people to listen to me and respect my opinions. I'm about to graduate from law school and I've done some things that I am proud of! Like drafting COVID relief legislation, winning a case against a predatory lender as a student attorney, and implementing a federal grant for disabled workers. People still don't think of me as a serious person, or as someone worthy of their trust, time, or attention. My own dad wouldn't take my legal advice, and instead chose to pay $19.99 for an online consult with a sketchy website (which just confirmed what I already told him). There are examples of this from all parts of my life: my roommates don't seem to respect my boundaries when I ask, guys don't tend to see me as someone to settle down with, my mom constantly asks me if I'm “sure” about my life decisions. What am I missing? Is there something I'm doing wrong? How can I get people to respect me?LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Yes, there is the added safety net of being on your partner's health insurance if you lose your job… but I'm not sure if that is enough to outweigh the financial consequences of divorce, etc. Along the same lines...is there a simple, cheap way to get a pre-nup for two people who both have similar assets/incomes but just want to be on the safe side?LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

TODAY'S QUESTION:What do you do when you finally have money for the first time? I don't have consumer debt, I've paid off my student loans, I have an emergency fund, I'm maxing out my 401K... so now what? So many blogs on money stop at this point. But for real, what do "rich" people do with their money once the basics are covered? Is it worth it to have a financial advisor? What percentage of your money should be kept in savings versus investments? What kind of investments are smart? How much should you be giving to nonprofits anyway? What else can you do with money other than save for retirementand invest in the stock market? Should I bethinking about rental properties, partially investing in a business, starting a business, or whatever? How does money make more money? What do you do when you've "made it"?

TODAY'S QUESTION:My dream organization recently posted an open position. I knew I had to apply or I'd regret it and to my delight, I've now done a phone interview and a Zoom interview with the supervisor and President of the organization. I haven't heard back yet (it's only been 48 hours since the second interview), but I do know they are doing "multiple rounds" of interviews. So I have at least one more round before they make a decision. My problem is, if I do get to advance to the next interview, I'm not sure how to prepare and what else to say about myself. I'm used to a couple interviews and then a decision being made. What is this third interview all about?LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

TODAY'S QUESTION:I'm a project manager for a dumpster fire of a project. Our contract is only $70K but they give our company $50M of work, so we're stuck with them. We are almost done with a "Phase 1" of our project and will soon be starting a "Phase 2." I legit don't have time with my other work to continue to be PM for this client, but I also just don't want to. Should I try to get out of being the PM and take whatever "hit" by "quitting" this client, or should I figure out how to stick it out (at the cost of my own mental health tbh)?LIKE THIS SHOW AND WANT US TO KEEP DOING IT?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Today's Question:How do I stop feeling scared about money all the time? I'm objectively in a great financial situation. Despite that, every time I hit a new financial milestone, the goalpost just moves. It went from "I'll feel less worried about money with a 3-month emergency fund" to 6 months to 9 months to 12 months to 12 months assuming my expenses were higher than they currently are. I feel like a dragon compulsively trying to build a pile of gold that will never be enough. I never feel comfortable. I never feel secure. I'm hyper aware that one medical emergency could drain that emergency fund and put me right back where I started.I know this is a privileged problem to have when so many people are in such bad financial situations, but it's a problem nonetheless. Since I've gotten my finances under control, I feel like I should be able to relax a little bit and leave things on autopilot and just... enjoy being alive and able to pay my rent? But instead I constantly feel anxious about money and I don't know how to break out of the cycle. Do you have any advice?

Today's QuestionDo you have any advice for little boos about what to look for in a financial advisor, what to expect from one, when and if it makes sense to hire one?

Today's QuestionI'm about to turn 18 and I've really appreciated seeing all your advice and resources. I was unlucky enough to have a family member die a few years back, and they left me a good amount of money, reassuring but not life-changing. I won't have access to it until I'm 21, so this is by no means urgent, but with all my preparing for independence I've started thinking about what to do when I can access it. I've looked at a couple of options: buy a car, pay rent for a while, set it aside for emergency funds, start my retirement account, and maybe enjoy some of it then. If I am thrifty, I could maybe do multiple of these, but certainly not all. With the caveat that I'm not sure what my situation re: debt and financial security will be in 3 years, what would you recommend?Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Today's Question:My spouse and I are disagreeing about paying for college for our children, ages 4 and 1. I paid my own way through college and scraped by without loans through scholarships, choosing an affordable institution, working countless part-time jobs, and eating a lot of Kraft mac & cheese. My partner's college and housing expenses were paid for by his parents entirely. I know that I worked harder in college because I was paying for it, more than I would have if my parents were footing the bill. As such, I don't want to pay for my kids' expenses. My partner vehemently disagrees and says we would be cruel not to, especially since we're in a financial position to do so and still fully fund our retirement accounts and live a comfortable lifestyle.

Today's QuestionI’m writing in hope of some advice, or probably just to get out of my own head and get an outsider’s perspective, because I’ve thought about this WAY too much.I’m in my thirties, and I moved to a Richer Country from a Poorer Country (all within Europe) a few years ago. I had some truly shit jobs for a while, but got incredibly lucky eventually, and landed in my current job in December of 2018. I work for a charity that aligns with my values very well. I have a good boss. I’m paid reasonably well---my salary circles around average for my job title in my city, though I could probably make 20% more in a bigger charity, with the experience I now have.Trouble is... I don’t really like my job? I’m an office manager/jack of all trades assistant, and I’m damn good at it, but I didn’t choose to do it out of a passion for filing invoices and fixing trivial IT problems. I chose it because I had a wide variety of skills that you don’t need a degree for (I have a degree, but it’s purely academic), and people like me are very appealing to small organizations that want one person to fill all the gaps. It was never going to be a long-term plan; I just wanted something that would pay rent while I found my feet in a new country. I don’t want to be solving other people’s petty problems ten years from now. Now that my two-year mark on the job is slowly approaching, I don’t know what to do. Moving to a different role in the same organization is not an option; we’re too small for that. Do I try to pursue a career in corporate/charity internal training (very appealing, no idea how to even start)? Do I try moving to a different job despite being comfortable, so my CV doesn’t look like I’m too stagnant? Do I stay and buckle down and write after hours to fulfill my dream of writing a novel? (How do I deal with the emotional fallout of never being able to publish that novel, which is very likely?) Do I just keep this job and wait until some kind of an opportunity presents itself? I appreciate that no one can solve this problem apart from me, and it’s seven kinds of immature to expect you’ll magically give me the golden answer based on a few paragraphs of summary. But it was kind of therapeutic to just write it out and know someone sympathetic will read it. Your blog has been consistently excellent at filling long social-distancing weekends, so thanks for that!

Today's QuestionAm I the asshole for refusing to pay at a restaurant that was false advertising?So my girlfriend (her 27, me 28) wants to go to this fancy new restaurant in the city that she’s heard good things about. We get there and it seems like one of those hipster places but whatever, I’m hungry. I look at the menu and this place is crazy expensive---like every dish is more than $15-$20 and half the ingredients I’ve never heard of. I order the bison steak ($26) and my girlfriend orders some weird pasta, noki I think ($18). Very important, these were listed as ENTREES on the menu. Mind you, with drinks plus tip this is going to come out to over $60, which is already ridiculous for dinner for two people.So anyway we order as we are starving. My steak arrives and I am shocked, it’s like 6 small pieces of sliced steak with some weird sauce on the side and a small handful of salad. I joke to the waiter 'where’s the rest of my steak?' and he explains they serve smaller portions at this restaurant because they focus on getting the highest quality ingredients. I don’t care if this bison was blessed by the Pope himself! It’s absurd to charge that much for such a small bit of steak, it’s highway robbery. When I go to restaurants I expect an entree to fill me up and be enough for leftovers.I’m complaining to my girlfriend and she’s getting annoyed with me. Similar situation with her pasta, it was like maybe 12 pieces of noki dressed up with some frou frou bullshit.Granted, the food was pretty good but I cannot get over how tiny these portions are. I’m a big guy and I like to eat, what can I say? When the waiter comes back I inform him we will not be paying for our meal, and that they are falsely advertising entrees that barely qualify as a light snack. My girlfriend is begging me to stop but that’s where we’re different, I don’t let businesses push me around and rip me off.A manager comes and apologizes but asks us to leave. I don’t end up paying as they realized I called them out on their bullshit. My girlfriend is silent the entire time on the way back. I’m still hungry so I drive through McDonald’s and get a burger, and when I did that she asked to be dropped off at her place.It’s now the next day and I’m starting to think I didn’t handle the situation as well as I could have (I could have probably just asked for a discount). My girlfriend hasn’t responded to my texts so now I’m starting to think I’m an asshole. Am I the asshole?Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Today's QuestionMy girlfriend and I are sort of fighting over money. When we first met, I had NOTHING. Like, sleeping-in-my-car nothing. But in the last three years my career miraculously rocketed into the stratosphere. I’m making SO MUCH MONEY. Meanwhile, her career has kind of plateaued. She’s working hard, but not getting ahead. Meanwhile I’m getting tired of winning.But the real issue is she’s made about how I spend my money. I don’t mean I waste it all. Nope, instead I’m making up for all the times friends helped me. Humble brag, but I’m ridiculously generous right now and I love it. I give friends gifts, pay for dinner, and tip big all the time. I’m sure this attitude will wear off eventually, but right now I’m just enjoying spoiling the people I love, INCLUDING MY GIRLFRIEND.But recently when her sister said she couldn’t afford a $300 class to finish getting her social work degree, I just gave her the money. I was happy to do it: it would improve her life, the money was nothing to me, and I’m sure she’ll pay it forward. But my girlfriend was PISSED and I don’t quite understand what I did wrong.

Today's QuestionHi Bitches! I’m only twenty years old, so I know this is unrealistic, but my greatest wish in life is to own a teeny tiny cottage somewhere with a garden. I don’t even care where in the world I have to live to make it happen. Like I said: unrealistic. I know that I probably won’t get my little cottage for a long time. All the same, I know absolutely nothing about how to work towards that goal, so do you have any advice for a young aspiring homeowner? How does buying a house even work?

Today's QuestionHi Bitches! You guys have been so helpful to me. I graduated last year with no student loans thanks to my parents, I got a job in that field with a pretty good salary for an entry level position, I’m contributing to my 401(k) and I'm close to paying off my credit cards. So that's fantastic!But as I'm looking at the near future of actually having a decent amount of money in the bank, emergency/retirement funds, living a bit more comfortably, I've started feeling really guilty.Most of my friends come from a less fortunate background than me, whose parents aren’t able to be as generous, and also haven't been as lucky with jobs. I feel like I have no business having money in the bank when people I care about are struggling. And then I feel ridiculous for complaining about a problem that boils down to "I have too much money."I’ve helped a couple of friends by covering a bill until they get their check, for example… but sometimes I overextend my budget by doing that, which obviously isn’t ideal. But I keep doing it because I feel awful that I have a safety net (with my parents) and they don’t!I want to help my friends, but I also want to be financially stable myself. As money-savvy folks who are also very aware of the state of the economy, have you had any similar feelings?

Today's Question"How do I handle a friend whom I've lessened contact with because I'm afraid they'll ask me for money?"I let him borrow some when he moved into his new apartment and his roommate refused to actually pay rent or split utilities while my friend was crawling out of maxed credit cards. He paid me back but since then has asked more than once. I have 5 figures saved so I feel pressured to help out, but I want him to actually learn some lessons instead of coming to me for a loan."And as a followup: how can I know what is financially expected as you get older? I'm self-employed (internet work with hard depression) but all my friends have adult jobs. Yet they also all still have student loans & credit card debt. I paid off my student loans, no credit card debt, have 25k saved and just bought a house thanks to my techie significant other. I still have a broke mentality since my significant other has 6 figures saved. It's hard to relate with my friends when there is such a mismatch of finances. We're all in our mid 20s."Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron. We're trying really hard not to do the whole corporate money thing.

Today's Question"My girlfriend and I are in our mid twenties, and have been seeing each other for four years now. We moved in together last spring and things have been going well. I love this girl. She's sweet, funny, interesting, pretty, and a little eccentric. She's absolutely my dream girl and I can't picture myself without her but we've been fighting for over a month and it's been hard."At the end of May we decided to get a dog together. We're both dog people, having grown up with them. Since my parents are close to a couple that breeds dogs, we've bought all three of our dogs from them. My girlfriend, on the other hand, had only one shelter pup"When we first started talking about raising a dog together I asked her the standard 'what kind of dog should we get?' questions about what breed she preferred. And she scoffed at me and said it didn't matter, because we would adopt a pet, not buy one. She said it like it was obvious and that I didn’t have a say otherwise. We got into an argument about the pros and cons of adopting or buying. And it just escalated from there."I'll get to the point and say we both started taking it personally and said some things. I said that buying gives you better quality, and that you know what you get. She quite rudely said that if we're paying for quality how come my family’s dogs have had health issues and died young, while her shelter dog lived to be seventeen. She said she looked down on people who'd rather pay thousands of dollars than save a life. We decided to cool down and give the discussion a rest."We both felt unfinished after that but let it go but then we started getting at each other for different lifestyle choices. Like how she wants to get married and have kids one day and how I'm not so sure what I want yet. And how in my family having a degree is important and to her it's not. Sometimes we teased her about it since she only has a certificate but we never meant it rudely to her since she has a great job as a software engineer."She's always been sort of indifferent to everything and said everyone has different values and the right to have different opinions should be respected. She eats meat, wears fur, buys non-organic, buys fast fashion, is non-religious, she's fairly liberal but tends to criticize some social movements, which is all fine but my point is she's never had a firm stance on anything. But it's like I picked a fight about the one thing she feels strongly about and it's been rough since then. I'm not sure what to do anymore and I need advice."Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron. We're trying really hard not to do the whole corporate money thing.

Today's Question"I'm 21 years old and I was in college majoring in biology, but I was just miserable and had to leave. But all I ever wanted to do was science, and now I'm really struggling with what to do next. I was paying for classes as I went (as much as I could, anyway) so I only have one loan to pay off. But I just really don't know what I want to do with my life. I've worked in retail and foodservice and I hated it. I've been applying to daycare centers because I like kids, but I haven't heard back from any of them. Any advice you could give me on finding a direction would be very much appreciated."Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Today's Question"I [22F] have been having some one night stands, and I recently decided it’d be best to keep my mother [56F] uninvolved in my love life. I let her know when I won’t be home, and will vaguely tell her I’m out on a date and staying over, but I won’t tell her who it is, where he lives, how long I’ve known him, etc."She’s very upset that I’m having sex and staying over at guys houses. I feel like as an adult I can make my own decisions and she should be respecting that I want to keep my love life private. Apparently she’s been talking to my father about this as well and is super upset that she doesn’t have the details on who I’m with."What can I do to ease her mind while also not telling her who I’m with when I go out?"Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Today's Question"How the HELL does someone stick to a budget?

Today's Question“My [21F] boyfriend [28M] owes me over $100 and I found out he went gambling last night.My boyfriend never really has money and still lives with his parents. I recently paid for a $40 dinner, spent over $50 on groceries for him this month, and gave him $80 for food and weed. He says he will pay me back next paycheck (and he usually does) but he is always asking for cash. We are very honest with each other and we see each other almost every day. He said that he's flat broke and I even paid off a loan for him, but I found out from a mutual friend that he went to a casino last night. Now, I have no problem with him going out, and he has every right to go out and have fun, but he lives HOURS away from the casino and I am a college student with very little money and have a hard time paying my bills with the money I keep lending him, and he goes off to this casino which is a very expensive place. Whenever he goes out when he's broke he always said that his friends are buying, but I don’t know which friend he could be talking about. He tells me everything too, so it's very unusual for him to go on a day trip and not invite me or tell me about it since we go everywhere together and we always communicate. We have been together for 3 years and have a strong relationship and I spend the night at his house like 4 days a week even though he lives nearly 30 miles away. He’s not a moocher. I don't buy him everything and we will usually go 50/50 on things. Should I confront him about why he's not paying me back and going on an expensive trip that's 3+ hours away from his town?”Like this show and want us to keep doing it?Show your love by becoming a patron.

Today's Question“I’m an engineer, I’ve been working for five years, and I don’t think it’s something I’ve ever truly been passionate about. My experiences have made me realize just how much I love project management. That can be done as an engineer, yes, but those jobs are fewer and more far in between.“I’m thinking of branching out, but honestly, I’m scared. What if I don’t like it? What if I can’t get back into the engineering field once I’ve been gone for so long? The job I have now (along with my wife’s) gives us ample salaries that allow us to save and pay down debt like crazy. I can’t say that the security of those salaries isn’t alluring, though I hate to be tied to a job just because of the money.“I don’t want to fuck myself over in the long run. I want to ‘retire’ early and spend my life doing the things I love. But I also don’t want to be unhappy at work. Please send help.
