Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Starting college is thrilling, terrifying, and overwhelming all at once. You’re juggling syllabi, cafeteria lines, group projects, and more emails than you thought existed. Professors see it all—the good, the bad, and the utterly chaotic—and they have a few truths they wish every student grasped before stepping foot into their classrooms. These aren’t just life lessons; they’re survival tactics for anyone navigating the maze of
There’s a moment when you close your door, drop your keys, and realize—wow, it’s just me in here. For some people, that moment feels liberating, like stepping into a private castle where every room, every snack, every playlist is yours alone. For others, it feels a little intimidating, like the silence might swallow you whole if you’re not careful. But living alone doesn’t have to
The moment a global outbreak hits, the whole world seems to flip upside down faster than you can refresh a news feed. One minute you’re enjoying your routine, and the next you’re wondering whether your pantry is apocalypse-ready and whether that one cough you heard in the grocery store was harmless or the beginning of a dystopian sci-fi movie. Outbreaks come with chaos, confusion, and
Millennials have spent years being labeled as the generation that “killed” everything—department stores, napkins, cable TV, casual dining, and yes, apparently even the concept of staying in one job forever. They’ve been painted as broke, stressed, and living off cold brew and hopes. But beneath all the memes and stereotypes, something unexpected has been happening: millennials have been stacking wealth faster and more strategically than
The job hunt today feels less like a professional milestone and more like an Olympic-level endurance sport you didn’t train for. One moment you’re hopeful, the next you’re refreshing your inbox like it owes you money. Every application feels like a carefully crafted message in a bottle tossed into an ocean of thousands just like it. You keep hearing that jobs are “everywhere,” yet every
There’s a plot twist happening in homes all across the country, and it’s one most families never saw coming. Boomers—once the generation confidently buying homes, hosting holiday dinners, and giving lectures about “standing on your own two feet”—are turning the tables and moving back in with their adult children. It’s a quiet shift, but a fascinating one, full of financial puzzles, cultural changes, and a
There you were, texting back and forth with someone who seemed genuinely interested, someone who laughed at your jokes, remembered your favorite snack, and maybe even hinted at future plans. Everything felt easy, flirty, promising—until suddenly it didn’t. One day he was enthusiastically replying, and the next he vanished like a magician who never learned the final bow. Whether it’s a slow fade or an
Retirement was supposed to be the victory lap—slow mornings, guilt-free hobbies, spontaneous trips, and the satisfaction of finally living life on your own schedule. But for many Boomers, that dream is starting to feel more like a mirage shimmering just out of reach. Savings that once looked solid now seem shockingly fragile, expenses keep creeping upward, and the rulebook for aging comfortably keeps changing. The
There’s a moment in every great relationship where you pause, grin to yourself, and think, “Okay… this person might actually be it.” Not because everything is flawless or straight out of a movie, but because something about the connection just feels right in a way you can’t quite put into words. It’s the comfort, the chemistry, the partnership, the laughter—and that strange, wonderful feeling that
Let’s be honest—credit is one of those things you don’t think about until suddenly you really have to. Maybe you’re applying for a loan, maybe you’re chasing a lower interest rate, or maybe you’re just trying to figure out why your score dipped twenty mysterious points overnight.
