As someone who has lived in New York City for my entire life, I am used to the rent being ridiculous. But that doesn't mean I'm cool with it. Every time I move it's to another tenement-like apartment and farther from “civilization.” It's frustrating, as a native, to be pushed out of your own neighborhood. But this is where the jobs are, and where my friends and family are, so I deal with it. Lately I've been hearing that it's actually cheaper to live in Manhattan than Brooklyn - a claim I can o…

The only M's in my bank account are "mistakes"

Always send work emails on company time.

I'm not saying I'm depressed or anything, but a million dollars sure would help in that department

People on LinkedIn are famously insufferable. Wannabe career influencers and dubious entrepreneurs love posting cringe to the site, and while we scoff at it, sometimes it's hard to look away. The tired soliloquies that glorify the grind, the heinous harping about how if you just hustle now you'll enjoy life later.

As many other people will have you know, that same dollar (or four quarters) can go a long way in other countries. Redditor u/sucka_3650 decided to investigate this discrepancy by asking…

Scammers gonna scam!

Highway robbery.

Show me the money!

The powers that be can get away with literally whatever they want. The proof is in the “service fee” you have to pay whenever you make an online payment, or the subscription service you're forced to join in order to continue using a thing you thought you owned, or that unpaid lunch break that extends your work day. Sometimes it feels like we're being straight up scammed by every institution in existence, and yet society continues to accept it. A bunch of annoyed folks got together on r/AskReddi…

Sometimes things work out.

It's been a really rough week, you deserve to buy those shoes

Who says shopping needs to stop?

Wait, are credit card companies kind of shady!? A former credit card rep tells all.
