If there’s any possible way for you to take off for a trip that’s equal parts business and pleasure, you really should do whatever it takes to make it happen. Not only can you accomplish two things at once, but you’ll also be able to use part of your leisure experiences to add to your life’s resume, which is something we all need to pay a lot more attention to. Go. Take someone with you who’ll enjoy it just as much as you will.

Someone cool (too cool) saunters into your life with one thing on their mind: your cash. If it comes down choosing between your wallet and this love interest, opt for the money. Though it might seem like a shallow decision initially, you’ll see it’s a wise one later on.

When you’re looking at this relationship, it’s okay to draw upon past ones for wisdom, but be careful about comparing mates too much. It’s not that useful or very fair.

You need to make your own list and check it twice. Once you’re sure of exactly what you want, you’ll have an easier time of getting it. Money should be no object, at least during this preparation time.
