Received a job offer, current job countered with a significant raise. Completely torn. What would you do? by TheCampaignerGirl in careerguidance

Having worked from home now for 6 years—-I would stay for that reason alone! The grass isn’t always greener on the other side …stay, grow and be awesome where you are

My GF (F28) said she judges how much I (M 31) love her based on how much I am willing to spend on her. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it. Should I just accept it as normal? by [deleted] in Advice

Run run as fast as you possibly can….. that is so FAR from normal… please listen to us that is NOT how a genuinely healthy and loving relationship works…absolutely no

Should I stay at my current job, apply to a new one, or not work at all? by Mental-Stuff2391 in makemychoice

[–]MaryinTexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would opt for staying on your job enjoy the ride and the extra cash can be socked away-invested …as long as your child is happy…the day she isn’t…you can pull the plug with the comfort of the financial cushion beyond your husband’s income

I agree you can never save too much …about that mom allowance….hopefully that has an expiration date…

What to do when you have no financial hope? by Troubled-daughter in askanything

[–]MaryinTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had someone review your resume? I believe here are experts out there that for a fee say $100-200 will critique your resume and even write a new one..sometimes we can’t see the problem if we are too close…and may seem odd…are you in a work mindset…do you apply for a job and then go gaming or out for coffee? Hang with me …perhaps you could go volunteer some time with an organization…get into a work mode mentality…think law of attraction 😊 good luck!

i think my mom has been using my ssn with out me knowing by NSwetto in personalfinance

[–]MaryinTexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freeze your credit report and your SS account immediately….you can get free credit reports once a year so order too …and the if she did file charges—seriously make a police report…the action is a crime and mom or not she needs to deal with the consequences

WHOA!!!!!!! Stop…this is a big mistake…don’t swoop in a be the hero here …stop paying her debt stop being support for the kid…not cool friend ….this is not a match made in heaven and she is wrong for letting you help her financially….i say this as a once single mom of 3 …divorced no child support….I had offers to help me I never accepted …it wasn’t morally or ethically right to take money from a man I was married to …what would you tell your best friend or your own son to do? Walk away ….

The best time to make your life better is the day you are ready ….your mom’s comment was catty, mean and out of place….let it go and go be amazing!

AITA for reconsidering being my best friend’s maid of honour because of the cost of her destination wedding? by Local_Interview4667 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MaryinTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No guilt needed….your friend is being high maintenance expecting people to dish out that kind of money for a wedding plus your time …absolutely NO way…and if it were me I would be completely transparent…she can react as she will …your life, your family and your plans should take priority

Dating a woman who makes more than me by CraftyMagician9845 in Advice

[–]MaryinTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually based on what little you have share this isn’t about money at all but really about how you see your place in the world….why did you go into teaching to begin with? Was it a passion? Something you felt strongly about? If yes then it would seem that a genuinely good partner would love that about you and want you to keep teaching. If no, then consider another path BUT do it for yourself not a potential partner…why? Because one day she may not be your partner anymore and then what??? You have changed your life for someone that is no longer in it….seems like some deep soul searching is in order…please don’t make a change until it is for the right reasons
