Dear Auntie Lynn,
I’ve been with my boyfriend
for three years now. He
asked me to marry him last
week and I’m not sure what
to say. I do love him but he
doesn’t have good job. He
works as a chef in a dirty
restaurant and I really want
to be rich. Please help me.
Thanks

Dear Auntie Lynn,
Please help me. I lost my job as
the manager of a big bank last
month and I haven’t had the
courage to tell my wife and
family about it. My wife and two
children spend a lot of money
everyday and if they found out
that they were poor they would
be so upset. I hope I can find a
job soon, but lately I have been
pretending to go to work
everyday. What should I do?
