Today I hired a virtual personal assistant to go through my emails and pay lingering bills and follow up on various invoices and make my doctors appointments and mail several things and guys
why have i not been doing this the whole time it took her three hours and it was $70.
this is the life hack i did not know i needed as an absolutely drowning and burnt out millennial who cannot figure out how to just open an envelope and pay a bill because it drains me of my will to live
I have finished my day and i am completely caught up, signed up for paperless and recurring billing, have mailed a dozen thank you cards I wrote and just ... never took to the post office, and gathered my tax information to submit.
like, why didn't anyone tell me.
you can find bonded, experienced people who do this for a living on https://t.co/4OpHGkl8Nq and they charge between 15 and 25 dollars an hour. I have canceled a variety of online memberships I don't use enough so that I can pay her to come back every other week. I am thrilled.
Props to my mother who looked at my "here's the box I put shit I can't bare to deal with right now" box and said "Have you considered hiring a personal assistant? They are cheaper than you think."
BLEW MY GD MIND.

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
