Speaking of investments, one thing that’s worth investing in is your spouse’s happiness.
Gender bias in the workplace can be as elusive as a unicorn and even harder to eliminate. If you're an employee who feels discriminated against because of your gender, storming into HR and shouting "Gender bias!" might not be the best strategy, especially if you're up against a multinational corporation.
Divorce and gifts — two words you don't usually find in the same sentence. Gifts are typically reserved for weddings, not for the aftermath of one. But let's challenge that notion. Divorcees deserve a little love too, and we’re all for normalizing the idea of a divorce registry.
