You definitely can but its going to be harder to be honest... 72k is going to essentially be 50k after taxes. Housing will likely be between 1-2k per month. 1k Id say really is pretty close to the minimum currently (unfortunately) and woul

I'd use this and like it much more than the digital wallet. The idea of my phone dying and leaving me with no means of communication and no means of payment sounds like a good way to make a bad day go to much worse. As someone who travels f

I think the majority of startups teach great lessons in how not to run a business. Some of the best lessons Ive learned is watching others as well as myself inadvertently blow stuff up and realizing that should have been done a lot differe

Id honestly say just go home early or try to get additional projects. Its sounds like you are under allocated. Id definitely agree with not jumping ahead of the product team - its just a recipe for frustration and burnout. You could also

If this was true there would be proof in the numbers but pretty much all indicators point to this as increasingly incorrect (unfortunately). In America there is increasingly less mobility from the "poor" to the rich and if monetary despera

Creating these lists as if humans are a bunch of attributes is something we're all probably guilty of at some point or another but when you apply it to finding a mate you inadvertently are just setting yourself up for a likely endless world
