As you go through your years as an employee, sometimes, you've gotta learn things the hard way. From work-life balance to advocating for better working standards, we don't always know what's acceptable and what's not when we're new to the workforce. It's good to look back and reflect on how much you've changed since you started working. Maybe you used to try and put on a performance during a job interview, but now you're interviewing the employer, too. Or maybe you used to accept whatever...

Imagine getting asked what kind of tree you think you would be while interviewing for a welder position?…

Feeling stuck in the workplace? Sometimes our job has a way of suffocating us, like you're handcuffed to a sinking ship with no prospects of breaking free. When you're underpaid and overworked, it feels like water is filling in around your ankles and the walls are closing in. Perhaps, if you're lucky, you'll find a kind stranger on the Internet to throw you a lifeline.

“An inspection report with 50+ items is actually pretty typical for a home built in the late '70s.”

Do you remember your first job? How nervous you were at the interview? And how nerve-racking the end of that job was? Whether you quit or got fired, it's so stressful.

It's called financial illiteracy and you don't want to find yourself in that category when house hunting.

These people thought they were getting good advice , only to realize years later how wrong the advice was. Relying on trusted friends and family members is how many people get through life. Of course, you trust the judgment of your mom or your best friend… but they aren't always right. Sometimes well-meaning bits of advice can totally miss the mark. Just because dad can dole out some advice that his father gave him in the 1970s, doesn't mean that's useful in today's day and age. Thanks, but no…

Who was always the person who gave you the best advice? Was it your grizzled high school sports coach? Was it your wild college best friend? Or was it someone more traditional like your cargo-short-clad, dear ol' dad?

Could've, should've, would've—you just have to live in the present when it comes to today's housing market.

These days, every DIY enthusiast sees ‘amateurs’ online who are achieving their home improvement goals without any experience. Armed with a flathead screwdriver, hand-me-down power tools, and a whole lot of gumption, a lot of DIYers feel builder's confidence flowing through them before ever setting foot into a hardware store.

From smelly feet to insomnia, we've got the pro tips to solve all the weirdest problems you never knew you had

The housing market just keeps getting more and more confusing these days. How can you get the best deal? What does “the best” deal even look like anymore? This isn't your grandparents' or even your parents' housing market, this is a whole new monster…

What would you do if you finally were able to afford a down payment on a new home, so you submitted an offer, but then got the home inspection back and some pretty pricey repairs need to be done? None of the repairs are dealbreakers, but they are annoying and costly. What should your next move be?

You don't have to be in search of buying your first home to know how abysmal the current housing market is. Many potential homebuyers go in with stars in their eyes, but return, defeated, to renting due to the high costs of it all. Their only consolation? They're not alone!

If my roommate and I are both at home and someone started to walk in, I'd immediately think it's a burglar. I mean seriously, who just lets themselves in someone's house nowadays? If it's a family member or a close friend, we typically get a quick text that they're stopping over. Or at least a knock! In this OP's case, it's not even family or friends that are barging in unannounced. It's their realtor. From three years ago.

Who can you trust at work?
