‘We should just all collectively start lowballing sellers’: First-time homebuyers discuss their dream of becoming first-time homeowners in a currently overwhelming market

'Always happy to help a fellow tradesman– but not this guy': Lazy handyman won't move his car to assist a fellow contractor, gets denied a ladder loan that complicates his own job

If you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back.

Sure, an online tutorial video can help an amateur complete a project at a lower price, but none of us are out here diluting the value of an actual professional's skills. As I stare at the cattywompus angles of the tilted tiles in my DIY bathroom, it becomes painfully clear that a pro would have done it a lot better than me.

'Manager wouldn’t even look at me': New hire at concrete company gets job offer unexpectedly withdrawn, HR says he was "in no position to negotiate"

Let's start this off with saying, if you get told during a job interview that you are in “no position to negotiate” you should immediately see that as a red flag. The interview is just as much for the employer as it is for the potential employee. This is the exact time you are most definitely supposed to negotiate your salary. And if they withdraw their application because you enquires about the pay, then what else would they have dropped you on for? You make one tiny mistake or ask for water d…
