On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:- You're in more credit card debt than you'd like. Should you tell your family about it so you don't feel like you're hiding something from them?
- While we're on the topic of credit card debt, we share some tips from Ramit Sethi for getting that debt under control (Script found here).
- After surgery, monitoring, and an almost clean bill of health, how can you encourage your spouse that every pain experienced now isn't cancer?
- How do you deal with blame and taking responsibility after the breakup of a long-term relationship and the fallout of shared property?
- When visiting another country, we've advised hiring a local to hang out with and guide you around. But where can you find such a guide?
- How can you find a suitable, non-nuclear solution for you and your long-time partner to travel together, given different work circumstances?
- Going from employee to entrepreneur in an industry where name equals credibility, how do you keep your name safe if your business fails?
- So you want to get involved in politics or some other high-profile career? You might want to scrub those old social media posts; here's how.
- Your timing for knowing when to interject in a conversation could be better. How do you improve it?
- Life Pro Tip: Keep a $100 bill folded in a side compartment of your wallet in a doggie poop bag. The money is for emergencies. The bag is for protecting your valuables if you're caught out in the rain.
- Recommendation of the Week: You Vs. Wild
