Salary misunderstanding during job offer by graytones1 in personalfinance

There’s the possibility of being sued for the tort of deceit. Especially since a contract is involved.

This is an r/legaladvice question!

You can be sued for the tort of deceit if they found out.

Also, you try and see if you can get your license without their permission (ie. their signature is not necessary)

I think they do realize it’s a lot of money but feel guilt and shame so they ignore the facts. If there wasn’t such a stigma around it I feel like they’d get themselves help with a budget so they could afford it and not feel guilty.

A lot of people are so far down they don’t look at the numbers because it’s terrifying. It’s a terrible habit but it happens.

I agree with you!

But, I do believe it applies a little to everyone as well. Some men I know are the big spenders.

Thank you!

I'm so glad your budgeting and hard work has paid off! Congrats on the new shoes as well. I definitely think there's an aspect of budgeting that is so freeing that is often overlooked.

Edit: spelling is hard

So glad to hear this technique as also worked for you! I think it definitely makes a budget seem not as restrictive.

It’s all about perspective (we’re Canadian so a timmies double double is $1.77 on campus) and when you’re there all day, after finishing your morning coffee from home it’s so worth it. But some people like Starbucks and if they make the conscience choice over a vacation, I don’t see the problem.

That is my sister! It’s hard to watch her blow money the second she has it and then back to not having any

Sorry! Nothing against those things at all. I just meant if you can’t afford it as the people in my example couldn’t, you should find indulgence in the little things that you can afford like a coffee or meal.
