How do I mentally deal with the fact I will be stuck living with my parents until I’m 40?
Due to the bad economy, covid-19, student loan debt for a major that I regret majoring in at college that has no job opportunities, and working a minimum wage job as a result, etc. when I was 18 I thought I’d be fine as long as I went to college and I majored in music theory and theatre, and when I got out into the real world with $40,000 in student loan debt, I couldn’t find a job for over 3 years and was unemployed back at home depressed, then I got a job at a restaurant as a cook, and then covid-19 hit and I lost my job and I’ve been unemployed ever since and I’m now 27 and still living at home with my parents with no job and a useless degree.

How can I owe a balance when I've not even used C.C. yet?
Several weeks ago I applied for a credit card and was approved. The card came a few weeks later and I've probably had it activated maybe 2 weeks. This weekend I received a statement from the CC company saying I owed $75 even thought the beginning balance was showing at zero dollars and I've not even used the card. How is it I owe bill and the card has never been used?

Math Question?
$2,000 on it in order to pay for their spring break trip. The credit card has an interest rate of 24.99%, and the interest is compounded monthly. If the student doesn’t make any payments for the first 9 months that they have the credit card, what will be the balance on the card rounded to the nearest penny? Use either A=P(1+rn)nt or A=Pert.

Do you think I did anything wrong in this situation with this woman’s credit card?
Today at my retail job, this woman at my register paid for her items with her credit card. She then decided she didn’t want anything after all but it was too late because her card was already accepted. So I told her I’ll just scan her receipt and then return everything. And I told her to enter her card back into the chip slot. To my surprise, she comes back maybe 10 or 15 minutes later yelling and screaming because she tried to buy something at the jewelry counter but her card was declined. And she was accusing me of preventing her from buying food for her family and she was demanding me to give her money back. So I called my manager over and she told her that it takes about 48 hours for money to go back on to a credit card. Is there anything I could’ve done differently or is this just a hot-headed *****?

My mom bought a house in full and managed to put it under my name?
260k house. It’s 8,000 per year property taxes. I don’t own my own house yet and don’t know if my job is stable. She’s not asking me to pay for it but I’m worried that if something happens that I’ll have to pay for it. Also, keeps mentioning how she wishes own children would live with her.

Can a tenant sue the landlord for harassment and win if he banged daily on the door several times a day demanding overdue rent payment?
This was going on for over a month and is still going on. The tenant can't pay as they have no job and the social security payment is not enough.

What happens if you and your boyfriend/soon-to-be fiancé can’t agree on a house you both like?
All they houses he picked out, I don’t like. All the houses I like, he claimed that it’s too expensive when it’s not. He’s just frugal. We can both afford it on our incomes. We both make good money and can easily definitely afford a nicer house than the ones he picked.

Can a woman go into the trades without being sexually harassed by male counterparts?
I used to work as a waitress and I got sexually harassed very often by men. They made comments about my breasts and such. I’d imagine if I were to go into a 80% male environment, the same thing happens?

Is it bad to quit a new job? ?
I just got a new job. I started my second week today and I’m really hating it. This is a very intense work place. There’s no culture or camaraderie here. Some of the executives are very demanding and a bit rude. I’ve honestly never felt so bad in the beginning at any job. I had applied to 2 places and this place offered me a job first. So I told the other place the situation and unfortunately burned a bridge. This job was more pay but I just had a bad feeling in my gut before accepting this job. It’s already hard being the new person there and when I ask my colleague a question they seem so annoyed. It’s good pay but I’m so unhappy. Would it be awful to quit now? I’ve worked a week and today started my second week there.

How to convince my father-in-law that stock and crypto gains are legit?
My father-in-law is one of the nicest people I know. There is just one thing we can't agree on. I invest in stocks and crypto and since I have had some gains, I am afraid of sharing this with my in-laws.
When we talked about money with my father-in-law earlier this year, he said that gains from the stock market are not really "legit" because when you sell a stock with a profit, there is the other party that loses some money. Therefore, it is not morally ok to gain money this way.
My in-laws are savers. They save money but since the interest rates are almost 0 per cent, it makes no sence anymore to be saving this way.
Any ideas how to convince my in-laws that investing is actually moral and legit way of gaining (saving) money?

What are the chances for successfully obtaining a court injunction against a landlord for switching off electricity? ?
My sister denied entry (for personal reasons) to an electrician in her apartment to carry out a mandatory safety check.
The landlord then cut off the power. It's been a week since she started living without electricity.
She hasn't paid her rent for 10 months.
