I just got a raise, but it's all relative

because now I can afford ramen noodles twice a week instead of once

I'm at the point where I'm considering a side hustle

to pay for the side hustle I already have to pay for my main job

My manager told us to 'find our why' in this challenging quarter.

My 'why' is definitely the direct deposit.

I'm trying to follow the classic boomer advice to 'invest in real estate'

but the only property I can afford is a timeshare in my parents' basement
