For some people, the higher the salary the happier they are.
They’ll jump around from company to company, spending 6 months in one place, a year in another – all in the attempt to continually “bounce up” in salary when moving from one company to another.
Why do they do that? Because we all know that staying with one company and relying on that 2%-3% annual raise – if you get even that – is not the best way to increase your retirement nest egg.

Trust is one of those business attributes that a company earns over time.
Once you lose that trust, it’s hard – but not impossible – to win back. Take Tylenol for instance – they had a horrible marketing nightmare after their scandal a few years back. Pundits said that Tylenol would never recover from the backlash.
But what did the company do? They fought back hard and were able to restablish that bond between themselves and the consumers. They earned back trust.
Other companies, however, don’t learn. They bungle their relationships with their customers and soon find themselves being left behind. Again, once you lose that trust, it’s hard to get back.

The catch? The vast majority of the park’s “employees” were robots, all designed to give the park guests the ultimate adventure.
And yes, there were sex robots.

If you are over 40 years old and still single, it can be harder and harder to find a date.
While your decision to hold off on a long-term relationship as you approach middle-age can vary, there is always a perception that needs to be overcome – “why are they not married yet/seeing someone? Something must be wrong with them.” In reality, that may not actually be the case.
