Oh Sapnap3!!!

My heart goes out to you. I had a mean woman in a position of power be mean to me and it took me years to get over it!!

OK, $$$: Put $$$ aside in investments. It will grow above the rate of inflation. And the trick is: Don’t dip into the principle!!

If you haven’t, put another 1/3 into Savings.

Now you will seem more broke than you are, but you will want/need that $$$ one day!!

Find an under the table job once you’re in Ireland. Like, babysit a kid for one afternoon/evening a week.

I hate to say it, but maybe find a nice Irish man when you’re there. Go on 12 dates. Then pick the most likely guy. Hate to be all scientific/play the numbers about it but you will want to up the romance department if you want kids!!

Your confidence: Time, time, and more time. One day WE will be among the older people in any room. That helps. A lot.

That Woman: What can I say. The women who get in positions of power often have had to be a little shark-y to GET in that position in the first place! Maybe be proactive: invite her out to coffee, ask if she NEEDS coffee, remember her birthday/anniversary, etc. BUT *don’t* be all kiss azz about it! Maybe once a week or once a month give her a kind gesture/word/favor. It can’t hurt and might help!

Best,

Inky
