last night, i stumbled on a headline about Tobey Maguire’s new girlfriend and thought—how is it that rich people keep winning at life while I’m drowning in bills? i’m just trying to keep my head above water over here—no glamorous dinners or cozy outings. it’s like i put on a happy face to everyone, pretending that it’s all good while in reality, my bank account is a horror show. do they know how s...
