I awoke last night in a cold sweat, gripped with the sudden realization that I have an incredibly comprehensive resignation checklist… and I’ve been selfishly sitting on it, to the detriment of the millions of Americans who’ve walked away from their jobs in recent months. I recognize that this constitutes a top ten anime betrayal. […]
Disaster preparedness for chill people doesn’t really seem to exist. Like many personal finance nerds, I am a resource hoarder to my squirrelly little core. I finish every video game with a massive pile of money and top-tier supplies I worked feverishly to acquire, but never actually used. It’s not a virtue… it’s an -itis. […]
You’ve passed the trials. You’ve fought hard and won your place among the champions. At long last, it is time to be inducted into the Secret Society. Which secret society, you ask? It’s a secret. As you take your place among the robed and hooded figures in this subterranean chamber, you know not what to […]
Admit it, Bitch Nation: you missed us and our relentless griping about labor rights during our two-week summer hiatus. Well cheer up, people, because the Bitches are BACK (and still griping about labor rights)! Today’s topic: discriminatory hiring practices. One of our most popular articles to date is our list of illegal job interview questions. […]
Labor shortages? With a 6% unemployment rate? On the heels of a recession and global pandemic? Seriously? Seriously. If you’re like me, you’ve seen the signs hanging in almost every restaurant, coffee shop, and gas station window you’ve walked past. “Now hiring!

Piggy and I are going to take our annual short break. Running BGR is always hard work, but this has been one for the record books! We’ve absorbed a lot of confusion, panic, and sadness through our inboxes this year. So we’re going to do our best to unplug and mentally refresh ourselves with a […]
HOO BOY, WHAT A YEAR, AMIRITE? In these trying times, it’s good to know we can still come together to celebrate what’s most important in life: raising chickens and naming them after TV characters. With record numbers of layoffs and unemployment rising like a helium-filled dumpster, a lot of us have turned to what we […]
This is Part 2. Click here to read Part 1. Hello friends, and welcome back to Everything Hurts and I’m Dying with your hosts, the Bitches! Last week I hit you with a massively depressing article on how the coronavirus has simply exacerbated problems the United States already had before the pandemic ever reached our […]
Here at Our Lady of Financial Solvency (AKA the church we definitely didn’t start exclusively for that sweet, sweet tax-exempt dark money), there are two ways to be Saved: Having some kind of emergency fund. Having multiple streams of income. An emergency fund is, of course, a lump sum of cash you set aside for […]
As I write this, it’s six o’clock on a Saturday morning. I’ve been up since five. This isn’t normal for me. Normally, I sleep in till the decadent hours of seven or eight on weekends. (Ya jelly?) Not today. Today I found my eyes springing open from dreams about wasting time and all the things […]
