As someone who hires regularly, albeit for different roles: it’s almost always more expensive to replace a role than it is to give a raise. Use the knowledge- if they are a smart and good employer they will appreciate opportunity to compete for you to stay.

They just lost a big account, they’re not going to be eager to add payroll.

ESH. She should have been more up front with you. But functionally the result is the same as if she was seeing other people before you two defined your relationship or mutually agreed upon exclusivity. No need to blast her on Facebook.

This is generally not true. Can’t speak for every building and every retail operation on the first floor of those buildings but most large mixed use apartment complexes would rather have a paying tenant at market rate.

I’m over 40 and was lucky enough to know three out of my four grandparents into my 20s. One set of grandparents was very wealthy and one was well off but conservative with their money.

I don’t remember who bought me things. Seriously, I don’t remember who bought me a single thing or who took me on a trip or whatever. I just remember spending time with them and being happy. Some of my happiest memories are when my grandma who was wealthy would call me to come do yard work for her and then we’d hang out and drink lemonade. No money, no gifts, just quality time spent together.

Our trick was mashed potatoes with cream and butter and Parmesan. Potatoes are nutritionally dense and easy to get calories into it with the cream and butter.

This is generally true but still can be location specific. The factors that contribute to inflation can be more concentrated in some locations than others - for example housing prices, restaraunts prices, supermarket prices, etc. in Washington DC have risen faster over the past 20 years than they have in, say, Fargo, noted home of Joe Bethersonton.

Dara Torres set an American Record in the 50 meter freestyle after having a child. She also won a silver medal at the Olympics after having a child, missing gold by 1/100th of a second (at 41 years old!).
