I work in retail and I hate it. I want to become a web developer. Is 30 too old to start? Where should I begin? FreeCodeCamp? Udemy? Bootcamps?

I just adopted a 4-month-old Golden Retriever puppy. He is adorable but has so much energy! He keeps chewing on my shoes. Any advice on training and potty training would be appreciated.

There is a woman in my office who spreads lies about everyone. She told people I was having an affair with the manager (I'm not!). HR won't do anything because she brings in a lot of sales. How do I handle this?

I'm 25 and making $60k a year. I want to buy a house in 5 years. I have $5k saved so far. Should I invest in stocks or just use a high-yield savings account? Any tips for cutting expenses?

I love my best friend to death, but lately her breath has been really bad. It smells like mothballs. I don't want to embarrass her or hurt her feelings, but other people are starting to notice. What's the kindest way to bring this up?

I work in marketing and my contract says Monday to Friday, 9-5. Recently, my boss has been emailing me on Saturdays and expecting a reply within an hour. When I brought it up, he said "we all need to be team players". Is this legal? I'm in California.
