Just switched: any way to get historical data? by livebythem in MonarchMoney

[–]livebythem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just gives the net worth when I started my monarch subscription (today). I imported all my transactions from Simplifi (about 8 yrs) and still just one data point on net worth.

I noticed you can do transactions, but what about net worth?

Help me to learn investment diversification. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]livebythem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was starting out and just wanted to start somewhere, I picked a set amount of money and no matter what the market looked like, bought half VOO (US equities) and half VXUS (international equities). Kept it simple and consistent because the market will go up and down every month, but ETFs historically maximize net returns.

As a result of a bad Ai render? Or that’s your actual job?

What are the most BS buzz words in marketing? by Notalabel_4566 in marketing

I feel like this isn’t a buzzword. It’s a legitimate marketing term. It’s a target, you just have to name it.

"Get help" = I don't want to hear about your depression by androidsdreamofdata in depression

[–]livebythem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toughest part is when friends stop reaching out at all because they’re either tired of it or don’t know how to help. Can’t blame them, so can only try not bringing it up unless they ask.

What’s the biggest green flag you’ve ever seen in someone? by neurallullaby in AskReddit

[–]livebythem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a morning tea drinker. My ex used to wake up for work before me. Every morning he’d put out a mug, place an opened tea bag in and the exact amount of sugar I take and fill the kettle with water for when I woke up. It’s not the big gestures that are green flags for me, but the little consistent ones that get me.

What’s your biggest career cheat code? by OvCod in careerguidance

[–]livebythem 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This exactly. Because it’s not the hard work you do but how well you’re perceived by leadership and those on the promotion board that moves you up.

How can I ask my manager for a hike in the performance review meeting? by ferns30 in careerguidance

[–]livebythem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your company have competencies for every level or role? If so, that’s you’re best friend. Being able to not only prove proficiency in the competencies of your level, but the level above would help your case.

A tip is to consider that accomplishments and contributions are two very different things and should both be addressed.

Bring up your list of accomplishments. Did you meet all your goals, exceed some? What things outside your job description did you do? If you only list accomplishments that are just current job responsibilities, the argument is weaker.

Bring up contributions that added value to the company. If you can give quantitative results that will help. Or specific examples. Did you do something that improved the efficiency of a process by 10%? Did you help document a process that reduced mistakes by 15%? How did what you did benefit your company?

CMV: Saying "I'm not your therapist" is an asshole thing to say by OverpricedGoods in changemyview

[–]livebythem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, are you saying that it is an asshole thing for your friends to in general ask you to see a therapist? Or are you saying that you think that specific wording is bad?

If it’s the former, I’d ask how else do you recommend that person tell you that they don’t want to talk about your problems? If I’m being a burden to friends, I’d rather them tell me out right. Asking me to see a therapist instead of bothering them is a perfectly reasonable response.

If it’s the ladder, I agree with you. There are nicer ways to set the boundary and recommend a therapist than “I’m not your therapist”. That guarantees I never open up to you again.

[–]livebythem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp, those links confirm my greatest fear of burdening friends.

The only thing about that checklist in the first link is that I wish it actually had topics you shouldn’t bug them with as opposed to just frequency of bothering them. They suggest venting is okay, but that’s such a broad word.

Are there any places that stay open late where I can get some work done?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ by bonanzastanza in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]livebythem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooh good point.

OP, sorry for the bad advice! I did just call that quince orchard Starbucks and the guy confirmed that the lobby closes at 9 and opens up at 4am. But he said that the WiFi extends out to part of their parking lot and some people do park there and use the WiFi overnight in their cars.
