I live in the Boise, ID area in the US. Over the past 3 years it's become almost impossible to buy so I won't be talking about buying, just renting. Even now the house I am in currently, which isn't mine, went from 149k brand new to resell of almost 500k. That's why I'm not going to talk about buying. So I looked for just a one bedroom apartment. Cheapest one I found that actually is almost never available because how “cheap” it is would be 995 a month 700 sqft. You would have to pay utilities. Normally cheapest I've been able to find over the last year range from 1100 to 1300 for same size. Let's go with the 995 one though. Minimum wage being 7.25 you would bring home about 1160 before tax. Based off when I was single and no kids and did my w4 how it…

Hey All, My boss is citing that face to face in-office interactions are pivotal to professional development and progression. Working remote is 100% better for my personal life and I want to keep it that way. What are some strong arguments that I can use to convince them otherwise so I can continue my remote work? Thanks!

I don't want to think this but it seems true. What I've witnessed locally and on reddit is the fact that someone believes they know better and prevents any kind of negotiation. If you are older you are inclined to say you know more because you have been around longer. But what happens when someone younger with more education tries to correct that person? They are told they are wrong or don't know better. On a more local level I can detect just pure hate, like everyone a generation above me have lost hope and have nothing but anger left. You try to tell them you want change or you have a different opinion and you are told to be quiet. I've met only a couple of older people who truly will take what you say and constructively think about it and they are usually teachers, people who are literally…

I currently work in a call center position at a major broker-dealer. I was in food service for ten years prior to this job. I despise the stock market, especially the more I understand how it works. Anyone working in finance in a position that doesn't feel soul-sucking?

What can those of us who can barely keep slaving away do? In my particular example and to keep it short, I have multiple serious debilitating illnesses. All made worse by working. I'm talking for the less fortunate among us, that for one reason or another, working makes their life a living hell. Big difference between not liking your job vs work making you sick. Being a slave sucks. But being a sick slave is a nightmare. I'm in my early 30s and since entering the 30s I've become increasingly aware of my mortality. When not working (weekends), I feel OK – I'd like to keep going, Come the workweek, and I want everything to end. The pain is too much. A few ideas I've gathered so far: -Get a job with a 4 days a week instead of 5 d/week -Work part-time and massively decrease living expenses – of…
