“My girlfriend is lazy, should I break up with her?”

I’m a 26 year old guy, and I’ve been dating my girlfriend, who is 24, for about two and a half years. Things have been great between us for the most part, but there’s one big problem. She really wants to get married, and while I’m open to the idea, I’m terrified that marrying her will drag me into debt and depression.

When I met my girlfriend, she wasn’t working, and two and a half years later, she still isn’t. We live together, and I pay for absolutely everything. Rent, dates, her car payment, my car payment, her phone bill, clothes, and pretty much anything else she needs. I’ve tried helping her find a job, but she just doesn’t seem interested.

How Pol Pot Rationalized 3 Million Deaths

Imagine sitting across from one of history’s most notorious mass murderers, watching him shuffle slowly toward you, physically diminished but still mentally sharp enough to defend his legacy.

That’s exactly what journalist Nate Thayer did when he interviewed Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge, the man behind one of the bloodiest regimes of the 20th century. What’s truly wild is Pol Pot, even after overseeing the deaths of somewhere between 1.5 to 3 million people, wasn’t seeking redemption. He wasn’t even looking to explain his actions. He was there to *defend* them.

“I’m 18 and Make $500 a Day Serving Drinks to Rich Golfers”

cart girl golf

I’m an 18-year-old college student, and for the past four months I’ve been working as a beverage cart girl at a golf course.

Basically, I drive around in a golf cart selling beer, cocktails, snacks, and sandwiches to golfers. It’s a pretty easy job on paper, but there’s a lot more to it than handing some guy a Bud Light.

The biggest surprise? The money.

“My son looks nothing like me, so I got a dna test. Now my wife wants a divorce.””

paternity test

My wife (35F) and I (37M) have been married for 12 years, and we have three kids together.

For years, I’ve had this nagging feeling that our middle child might not be mine. Our oldest and youngest look just like me, but our middle son looks completely different. My wife has shown me pictures of her grandfather, who admittedly looks a lot like our son, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

The Most Expensive Lie You Tell Yourself About Money

deserve this

There’s a sentence that has probably cost people more money than any financial scam ever invented.

“I work hard, so I deserve this.”

It sounds reasonable. You put in your hours, deal with your boss, sit in traffic, and sacrifice a good portion of your life to earn a paycheck. Surely you should get to enjoy some of it.

And you should.

But somewhere along the way, we confused enjoying our money with spending nearly all of it.
