The Difference Between a Good and Bad Follower at Work Often called the “other side of leadership,” followership is an important factor in career success. This is to find value in someone else’s vision, follow it, question and challenge it, but also ultimately support it—even if you don’t agree with it. A follower asks questions, listens well, and offers guidance and… Read more…

LPT: How do you deal with someone that spreads rumors in bad faith behind your back? There’s this guy on my immediate social circle who has a reputation for spreading gossip and starting/ exaggerating rumors. I called him out on it once with a chill attitude when i was told by a trusted person he started a rumor about me and obviously he denied it and was very obviously ashamed he got called out. That was 3 years ago. Now he’s b…

My dad wants me to open a mortgage in my name for him to get a new house. Is this a bad idea? My dad has a large house from my childhood in his and his dad’s name (after the divorce). The house is up for being sold in the next year or two. He is looking for new property and cannot get a preaproved rate due to his dad helping pay for the current morgage. He asked me if I can help by opening a mortgage in my name (no debt and excellent cre…

24.99% on a car loan is bad, right? Been almost a year since I bought the car on a 50 month term. No, I am not ending up on the streets or eating ramen. I really need the car of course. Considering my options right now through a local credit union. What should I expect? submitted by /u/smdx459

Can someone explain why target date funds are bad? I’ve been putting in money in a schwab 2055 target date fund for the past decade and it has all the large, mid, small, and international holdings. I’m reading that if your investment has 7% or above in annual returns, then it’s fine. I also prefer to just have mutual or index funds that already have a set of holdings in it rather than choosing i…

Chrysler PT Cruiser: Still Bad? The Chrysler PT Cruiser ended production on July 9, 2010, almost thirteen years ago now, going out with a whimper after a decade of at first making a splash and then aging out in warp speed. In its review of the PT Cruiser’s debut model year of 2001, Car & Driver very earnestly referred to it as “cool,” several times,… Read more…

Is it a bad decision to go through with buying our house?? Today we found out our offer was accepted on a $320k house. Our interest rate on our current house is 3% while with this new house, they estimated us around 6.625%. We have one income in our household. My wife and I have 2 kids (2.5yrs & 3 months) and we care an individual with special needs, which is how we earn our income. He lives in our hous…

I’m preferring half hour dramas now. Too bad there aren’t that many. For example, Servant, The Patient, and Homecoming. I feel like there’s a hour’s worth of show in each episode. No filler. And even when a episode sorta kinda drags, it’s going to end soon. Many complain these episodes are too short or feel rushed. And I agree if you watch one episode a week/one season a year. But if you binge after a show is ove…

Is it a bad idea to invest all of my 401k into a single Vanguard target date retirement fund? Hello all, 24M with what’s probably a silly question: is it a bad idea to park all of the money going into my 401k into a Vanguard 2065 target retirement fund? I’ve been reading around Reddit and it seems some a lot of people think that these funds are too conservative for people my age, but the sidebar in this subreddit recommends them. Am I ov…
