I am 35 years years old and only was able to get this house with my husband due to family selling it at a discount. What happened to my age being the NORM for homeownership?? https://preview.redd.it/xxypsfvsr0da1.png?width=762&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=a258a0c78510e0f39a3dfac0650a1631a5d804c1
I’m fascinated to know what differences exist between what Europeans and American’s view a good job as. Each culture seems to value different aspects of remuneration differently. Discuss and grade (A-F) the following along with if you’re from the US or EU+UK £35k/$43k per annum 37 hours per week 35 days PTO Flexi Time (Turn up and leave when you want so long as each month hours average 37).

As it turns out, corporations are terrified of people exercising their free speech rights. If you want to read more about this, I did a post called “Breaking the System” in the lost…
My adult daughter go a “job” working phone support for national brands. It is 100% remote which probably explains her reluctance. This is a company that uses a contractor model, but several things scream misclassification to me. There is also huge wage theft that is making mama bear very mad. Each new contract anyone is accepted on requires a month of unpaid training. This is on the company schedule and I think it may involve actually working with some additional supervision.
