> No, you’re not fine just the way you are: time to quit your pointless job, become morally ambitious and change the world

What a privileged tripe. Yea, I'll quit my "pointless job." Not like I need things like a roof over the head and food on the table. And TBH, the category where you get the corner office and fat paycheck sounds pretty good. How do I get a gig like this writing this kind of bullshit?

In #ChampagneProblems. Weddings are "expensive, emotionally charged, and layered with expectations...".

A lot of what people say in article is pretty reasonable.

We recently declined a wedding invite bc bride wants formal, and expense of new formal dress for the Better Half, plus out of state travel, is excessive for us.

YMMV

Also notice the husband gets the bum rap. Who knows what other not so nice habits of hers did not age well either.
