I was raised by big thank you note people. One year my thank you note for my grandpa’s Chanukah gift got lost in the mail and I never knew. He got so mad and now every birthday and holiday he reminds me repeatedly not to forget to send it.
I appreciate this post! I frequently work holidays and my family is all living in another state. Thankfully I was able to get off and fly home for thanksgiving this year for the first time in 3 years but I know the feeling all too well. And it doesn’t get easier. I’m so appreciate to be home this year.
Appreciate this article. A lot of it still feels pretty overwhelming. I have capital one venture as my only card. I like it because I live out of state from my family so I travel quite a bit and it adds up for my flights when I get 2 points, it has a low fee and I pay it off all on time and I sit in the high 700s. I see what you’re saying but I think I’d struggle to manage multiple accounts. I’m pretty cautious with my money but I don’t feel like I actually understand much about how finance works in the big scheme of things.
I mean I feel like that just means they didn’t have an opening for you but held on to your resume? Do you follow up? If the answer is no they’ll tell you over a follow up call. At least that’s always been my experience.
I definitely agree with this. I feel guilted into it too. I always tip servers and bartenders well because I know their income is tip dependent. But everyone with these damn iPads that you know are making a fair hourly pay don’t need to get tipped. But I feel like a a cheap asshole if I don’t. Sucks.
This was a good read and really relatable. I moved away and am going back to school, lots of friends are getting married now. Our lives are all going in different and unexpected directions as happens in your mid 20s and it’s exciting but also kinda sad watching friendships change. Nice to know I’m not alone in these feelings.

All she’s doing is recognizing her boundaries. Seems pretty healthy to me.

Anyone else notice the “she also he” typo in elyse’s bio on ABCs website? …or was it a typo?
I am so here for the tweedle-dull and tweedle-bitch line.
Wish I had any clue how to post gifs so I could attached a “leave Britney alone” one

I second this. Your needs to be held accountable for being such a fuckwad.
I think you missed the end of the article

Also would love some of you financial guru’s advice on investing. I’ve been told to look into it but no clue where to begin.
This is good. More of this please!
I just laughed out loud. Amazing.
Also one of the best parts about being a nurse. Cheers to that!

I can’t help but pipe in with some concern about STDs… they don’t all go away with antibiotics.
I’ve always thought the “bad timing” excuse was just a cop out. Be with someone or don’t. If you care enough you’ll find a way to make it work.
