Nobody is quite sure when this drive-thru ‘pay it forward’ trend has become popular, but by now, we are no strangers to it. If you are, well, here is a quick explanation. It all starts with one person who wants to do something small to make a stranger happy. They decide to do that by going to a drive-thru and asking the barista to charge them for the order of the car behind them, so they get their order for free. A small gesture, that usually doesn't cost that much, to make someone else a littl…

Any job that even slightly requires employees to have a car in order to do the job, should physically provide a car for said employees. If you cannot do the job without one, there is no reason why the responsibility of getting a car should be on you. However, because companies today are cheap and will do anything to avoid spending more money, they will never offer that option to employees without being prompted. If there's nothing to stop them, they will even go as far as making employee spend…

If you've ever seen even one episode of the show Succession, you must have wondered if rich people really do act this way, and if they truly are so detached from the reality of the plain old regular life. To be fair, I am sure some nice billionaires don't allow their money to go up to their heads, but most probably do get numb to other people, and to everyday problems their money easily solves for them. But can we really blame them for it? Well, yes, we surely can. Rich people who completely fo…

Money solves most problems in life, but it seems like there's just never enough of it. Even the richest people in the world just want more and more cash. You can never have too much! However, when you've been wealthy for a long time, you start to forget what it's like to be a “normal person." Most people can't just throw money at their problems.

Surely we've all had our fair share of terrible roommates. The kind of people who actually see themselves as the landlords and act like everything they say must be followed. When it comes to horrible roommate experiences, I think I won the gold medal. I once had to share a tiny 4-bedroom apartment with 7 roommates, meaning I had to share a room with two other people. The apartment was constantly messy, there were always dishes in the sink, and no one was willing to commit to any household task…

Who here hasn't considered selling their car at least once because of all the headache that comes with the burden of owning a car? Not only is it extremely expensive, with gas, insurance, and car treatments, but car issues are probably one of the most annoying and inconvenient things that any car owner has the misfortune of dealing with. Setting aside the money you have to pay to actually get your car fixed, you then have to physically separate from your car while it is at the mechanic for who-…

If you stop and really think about the invention of cars, you will realize how crazy and unbelievable these machines truly are. Each of us actually wanders around the world in custom mobile boxes, which we learned to operate when we were 16 years old (well, most of us did). Since we have grown so accustomed to cars and their value to our daily lives, we have also grown to accept the occupational hazards associated with these fabulous machines. Road rage, traffic, and parking feuds are all unfor…

In every job, there is a red line that once crossed, it becomes crystal clear that you should not spend another minute in that place of work. Most employees might be willing to push through a lot of nonsense for the sake of their job, but they all have a limit, and when that limit is crossed, it is time to move on. The employee in this Reddit story was willing to put up with 60 hours of work per week, working weekends and nights, delayed raises, and many other red flags. The red line was when t…

Having fun with money is the easy part, but saving it and spending it wisely can take a lifetime to learn. No matter how much money you make , it may never quite seem like enough. There are so many bills to pay! Gas, electric, water, car payment, mortgage, rent, groceries… the list goes on and on. That's why it's nice to have a little treat every now and then, to take away the sting of giving away your hard-earned paycheck to strangers. Maybe you get a $7 latte or a $60 new outfit. However, som…

Gambling is a tricky game. You almost always lose, but the one time you win, it hooks you. Or, in this case, makes you rethink your entire life. That’s what happened to this employee who won big in a poker tournament, walking away with a six-figure check. Instead of just celebrating quietly, he decided to quit his soul-sucking job on the spot. Can you blame him? Life’s too short to endure endless corporate struggle when you’ve just hit the jackpot. But when word got out about his winnings, his…

This person is clearly an entrepreneur, but they may not have gained their money in the most ethical way. Some people just make money with ease. It seems like no matter where they go, they're picking up a side gig or talking to someone who has a quick job for them, earning them $20 or $100 here and there. Up next, this woman invited herself on her sister-in-law's 8-day-long vacation, leading her SIL to think that “ We don't need to be around each other 24/7 .”

This mom isn't 100% sure that she's doing the right thing here. After her son ate an inordinate amount of pizza, she turned to the internet to steer her in the right direction. After that, read about the ridiculous requests that hotel guests had, like one guest who “demanded a room upgrade because ‘their aura didn’t vibe' with the one they booked.”

They left her everything for a reason.

Talking about money can be so gauche. It depends on the circumstances. Should you talk to your coworkers about how much they're making? Yes, you absolutely should. But is it the best thing to talk about at a dinner party? Not so much. They say that money talks and wealth whispers, and this is a great example of it. Some people get their paychecks and just have to buy designer clothes, expensive cars, or the best new tech just so they can show it off to everyone around them. It's the kind of per…

Her money, their problem

Going out with a large group of friends is great fun until the bill comes along and you all have to decide how to pay in a way that will please everyone. There is always one person who can't be bothered with doing the math and just wants to split the bill evenly between everyone, and another who didn't even eat anything and thinks it's unfair that they have to pay the same amount as everyone else. That is why I recommend electing a designated calculating friend who is fine with doing all the ma…
