    So it sounds like they had a house in a reasonable area…

    Her old boss called her up in 2021 offering double what she got paid last time…

    And they never thought to check why she was being offered twice her salary to do the same job?

    It’s likely because everyone moved away due to housing prices if they weren’t insanely wealthy. Shouldn’t have sold the home they owned before they even googled the price of homes where they were moving.

    Also makes me think it’s likely they have exceptionally bad credit like you said. They got two kids, and apparently do zero planning for huge life decisions and complain when shit doesn’t work out. Other families raise kids on legit 1/10th of the money this family has…

    And she’s a financial specialist?

      I find that professions means kinda Jack shit in the modern age.

      Financial specialists I know are drowning in gambling debt and crypto they can’t sell but “debt is good”

      Therapists I know are the epitome of perpetual children mindset and complain that people are being rude to them all the time if asked to do anything.

      Project managers I know just forward emails and ask me to help keep them on track.

      Maybe it’s all burnout but I think people went for the job titles and positions they could get through connections not what they are good at and people have just been pretending and faking their way through our crumbling facade of an existence for the past couple decades.

        Hey they didn’t get that fancy PMP cert to do work.

        /s, not /s. Project Managers are a force multiplier, some are just a negative force multiplier.
