Dear Sugar,
I just finished my master's in May and I still can't find a job. I am in the education field and I live on Long Island, where jobs are hard to find. My boyfriend and I have an apartment together, and he is working a lot to keep us afloat.

Dear Sugar,
I love beautiful things. Sometimes they are expensive (such as an Hermes Birkin) and other times they are cute outfits at H&M. I splurge and I save and then I splurge again.

Dear Sugar,
My parents are divorced and I've lived in my mother's house for most of my life. I'm currently a student at a very prestigious college. My mom has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for five months now but we've know each other for two years. We are very much in love, and have talked about getting married one day. We are both still young, and while I have graduated college and have a stable, well-paying job, he does not.

Okay, so here is my problem. It kept me up last night crying and i need to get this off my chest. I am not sure anyone could offer up advice more than caring words, but feel free to tell me whatever you would like.

Dear Savvy,
I've just paid off one of my credit cards that was in the Debt Management Program through a credit counseling service, which is something I'm proud of! It's nice to have accomplished that! The only issue is, I got a letter from that company offering to reopen the credit card line since I paid everything off.

Most of the 40 people CNN Money asked about the best money advice they'd ever received have actually made their fortunes in finance — the many economics professors and investment gurus they interviewed are talented with money. There were a few names in there that are making their livings off of their skillful talents that didn't involve playing with numbers or keeping track of market trends, and I've selected those to share with you.
- Bobbi Brown, Founder and CEO, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics:
I started working as a freelance makeup artist in 1980, and I worried that I didn't have enough money.

Thanks to a reader with an issue (sorry, reader!), we have an awkward scenario for you that she needs you to weigh in on.
My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half. I've met his family, I know his friends and have become friends with many/most of them as well, and things are really going well with us.
