    Financial Decisions...selling a car

    Happy Monday everyone. I will try to keep this short: my pregnant wife was laid off due to the virus. My wife made significantly more than I do, so even with her collecting unemployment, our budget has changed a lot. Her plan was to take maternity leave plus extra time off when we have our...

    What would SVTP do?

    Regretting taking new job

    Been with my new employer 7 weeks now. The new job excitement quickly wore off. The job description was spot on, but the inefficiency of operations and having to fix others mistakes is wearing on me already. I'm honestly filled with regret. I'm pushing forward, because the pay is decent and...

    Anyone dealing with anger issues?

    I've always had a short temper, but luckily I never had it like my dad. He always had a very short fuse (never abusive or anything, just hot headed in a split second). Otherwise, he was a kind hearted joke maker. Every other day, I find myself getting frustrated over small issues here and...
