I’ve been fussed at by my ex and a few of her friends for NOT supporting the “insert product” sold by friend x. Last one was Wine. This nasty ass shit gave me a headache from the taster, and you want me to spend $25 a bottle because, and i quote, “love red wine and it all tastes the same anyway”. Its a horrid spiral of preying on emotions and hopes and dreams, worsened by that one friend who happens to be up high enough in the mlm foodchain to make a ton of money “first” on all current and new mlm ventures.
I don’t have the wife anymore (unrelated) and I’ve dropped the friends that force mlm. I don’t miss them.
I have been contributing to a HSA the last couple years, and it’s been fine. My work contributes $1800 over the year and it hasn’t really been a problem at all....
Been there. It came down to your total deductible for your family HDHP plan. for me it was out of pocket max 6k for the family HDHP, and HSA was $6700. So, immediately, i’m up $700 every year on an account I can keep (unlike medical FSA). Hit that $6000, no more out of pocket for in network care till next calendar year.
Look PPO is nice because it’s smaller deductibles up front, where-as HDHP is visit costs till you hit your out of pocket max. you get FSA up front, but it’s use it or lose it funds. So often people get FSA and find themselves end of year buying stuff from the FSA store to max it out. HSA is yours, earns interest (usually) and can be used post retirement. not to mention it’s only spent when you need it and carries over yearly, so don’t spend this year at all, you now have more for next year.
Family of 5, HDHP was a life saver once we figured out HSA.
Well, problem 1 is using indeed. What an obsolete site for most places. But i get the joke.
Not that prospects are much better elsewhere. Like LinkedIn for instance with their “click here for instant apply” and then you see that you’re one of 50 people (today) to apply for this open role and some AI in the background estimated based on your profile that you have 22% chance of getting the job BUT if you pay for premium you can knock that 22% up to 50% and an AI writes you a better profile…
I really do feel sorry for the crap the boomer gen and even my generation (genx) has left every generation after.
look, we all know if you click this link here you too can be a millionaire working 6 hours a week. (link withheld because i want to be a millionaire first)

Depends on your level and job. Honestly I’m still going to say LinkedIn in most cases, if only because Its the professional social network. Companies can look you up, so you need a good profile to attract those recruiters that pay to find people. It’s a sick game, but at least now there are AI profile services that can help you get ahead.
Indeed is cheap and used by cheap recruiters to get the most applicants directed to some other job board that costs them near nothing to aggregate resumes. You can’t even be sure you’re using the company job site to apply in some cases. At least with LinkedIn you can do the searching for the real job post.
Yep. Comes down to money and they can’t make big money off you if you hide behind the great LinkedIn pay wall. Look, recruiters like everyone else are trying to milk every penny out of their sale (you). You say “top” but are they exclusive? Are you applying at the company portal? Can you find this job yourself and apply direct? Top recruiters doesn’t mean as much as is used to. Right now you’re one of 30 applicants being submitted by a semi-competent recruiter that uses a tool to evaluate how much your resume fits and how much profit they can make if they bring you in under the salary range.
Indeed is a crap job site used by cheap recruiters. at least with LinkedIn you’re better armed with searching.
