You ever wake up after three hours of broken sleep and try to function like a normal human being? That fog, that stiffness in your joints, that feeling like your brain is booting up on a 20-year-old computer? That’s my baseline—on a good day.

I’m a 51-year-old man, married to my best friend (48F). I love her deeply. We raised two sons (27 and 25), but they’re spoiled and entitled because their mom overprotects them. I can’t take it anymore.
Every time I try to bring up my frustrations, it’s like she’s a robot programmed to shut me down. If I try to talk to the boys, she steps in to defend them. I love my family, but I can’t keep paying for everything, ignoring the problems, or making excuses.
My husband (29M) and I (27F) took in my best friend (22F) and her 3-year-old daughter after she had a bad breakup. We already have three kids—two boys (11 and 7) and a girl (4)—and live in a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath house.
When my friend moved in, we didn’t set a timeline—just that she’d stay until she was back on her feet. It’s been three months. At first, she and her daughter stayed in the living room, but after a while, I convinced my husband and the boys to let them use the boys’ room. Our daughter moved into our bedroom with us, and my friend took over the boys’ room.

Every parent hopes their child will have a life of security, satisfaction, and—if possible—prosperity. Yet, for all the ambitions to “give children the best,” most Americans unknowingly follow a blueprint that produces high-earning spenders rather than genuine wealth-builders. The research is clear: raising a wealthy adult is less about providing material abundance and more about instilling the attitudes, habits, and values that define America’s real millionaires.

One of the most pervasive beliefs in American consumer culture is the notion that hard work must be rewarded with spending. This phrase—“I work hard, so I deserve this”—serves as a powerful justification for acquiring luxury cars, designer handbags, extravagant vacations, and a host of other status symbols. It is a sentiment echoed in advertisements, whispered in car dealerships, and repeated at the checkout line in high-end retail stores.

I’m looking for advice, especially from people in cross-cultural relationships or familiar with Vietnamese traditions.
I’m from a Western country and my girlfriend is from a village near Hanoi. We’ve been together almost two years, and I’m ready to marry her and bring her to live with me. I’m prepared to support her as she adapts and looks for work.
We’re running into conflict over wedding costs. She’s asking for a $10,000 dowry and says a traditional wedding will cost at least another $10,000. She also mentions that some weddings in her village cost $40,000–$75,000, including dowry.

I’m a 30-year-old man, and I have a job I don’t like. Every day feels the same, and I don’t see any value in the work I do. I’ve tried to find a new job, but I can’t even make it past the first round of interviews.
I can’t quit either, because I’m the only one in my family earning money.
Vegas, 4:17 a.m. In the room, the air tastes like stale cigarettes, disinfectant, and the hollow sweetness of industrial air freshener. The glow from the ice machine sign filters through the window, green and sickly, projecting the word ICE backwards across the bedspread where I’ve been sweating through my shirt since midnight. I haven’t slept. I can’t remember when I last wanted to.
