    Pay Dirt Pay Dirt is Slate’s money advice column. Have a question? Send it to Athena and Elizabeth here. (It’s anonymous!) Dear Pay Dirt, My wife and I live in a studio apartment in a high-cost city. We are lucky it is rent-controlled otherwise we would be priced out of the area. It does have a closet, which is a rarity. We are expecting a baby this summer and decided to invite my mother-in-law to help DIY the nursery (which is the closet).

    Pay Dirt Pay Dirt is Slate’s money advice column. Have a question? Send it to Athena here. (It’s anonymous!) Dear Pay Dirt, I’ve recently found out that I am considered cheap by my family and they have been judging me for it. It’s true in some senses. I don’t spend a lot on gifts, but I also am struggling financially due to a chronic illness. My family does not see that as an “acceptable” excuse because I had a job while sick.

That job was one of those unicorn jobs where I was hired to do far more work than I actually had.

Dear Pay Dirt, My partner and I are set to make a cross-country move from the East Coast to the West Coast this year, looking at a big cost-of-living jump (although our job offers compensate for this). We both make six figures, but he makes four times my salary.

Uber Bae carries around my first printed piece in @RealSimple in his backpack to show people cause it's lighter than my book. I wish this type of love for anybody.
