## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] Abbi, an older 20- something trying to find her career in the city, and Ilana, a new college grad who's just trying to become an adult. So Ilana tends to kind of do whatever she wants, shows up to work late. And that's really not What she should be doing to further her career. Don't hire interns without your bosses permission, it's a good way to get fired. Todd told you to work. I am [ UNKNOWN ] I'm hiring interns. Probably a lot of legal trouble that she could get into there. Do make sure all of your roommates are on your lease or you at least have some kind of contract with them, because you're responsible for what happens in your apartment.

So Abby's got this kind of squatter in her apartment named Bevers. He eats all of her food and doesn't contribute to any household chores or anything like that. Really figure out a plan for either how Bevers can move out or Howie can start contributing if he plans to live there longer. And really the key there is communication. Abby decides to go to Whole Foods when she's kind of knocked out of it on Vicodin and spends $ 1, 500 on her new credit card. That'll be $ 1, 487. 56. Use your new credit card, Addy .

>> Obviously you shouldn't spend that much money at Whole Foods in General but you definitely shouldn't put it on a credit card because I" m assuming she doesn't have a super high credit limit and that can really hurt your credit score. You're only supposed to use 30 percent of your limit to maximize your score.
