need money advice

I’d like some advice. My brother and I are both young adults(<25) not gonna marry for at least 5-8 years , and we’ve recently started earning more than we’re used to(~3l/month). We don’t want to just waste it on random things, and we want to make sure we’re using it wisely — both to invest and to protect it for the future. What would be some good first steps for people in our situation? Are there common mistakes we can avoid? we are conscious enough to not gamble anything but I am comparing buying gold and bitcoin

To All Directors Out There: Bing Rude Doesn’t Help Your Team in Any Way

I have been with this company for around seven months now. The team and my manager are great, but the director, who is my manager's manager, straight up sucks. He scolds senior members in front of everyone and says we shouldn't use terms like some. Instead, he expects us to explain the entire problem, even if it's related to another team's issue, which feels like complete nonsense. Today, during our call, he started bashing the team, saying you're not doing this, you're not doing that. At one point, a senior member stepped away due to some dependency, and they needed something from the backend logic, so I had to pitch in. But because of the environment he's created, I couldn't debug it properly or provide the requested information. As soon as he left the call, I was able to find the information and shared it with my manager. My manager then said, This is exactly what he was looking for the entire time, and even my senior said they would have provided the same information if they'd been there. This whole thing is making me feel really bad, and I am not sure how to move past it. I feel like shit. Is this a me problem, or is this just how the human brain works?

Embracing life through work

Remember I’d read this quote when I was just starting out with my work life. Had noted it down and just chanced upon it again. I know it’s a bit extreme as a thought. As years go by, I’ve started believing in this much lesser. I would give anything for my first company to succeed. That’s the psyche a lot of us enter our first jobs with. Don’t remember but I think this is why I’d noted down the quote. One toxic manager and one startup that is crooked later, you get derailed. You think you need to value your work lesser in the context of the larger life. But it doesn’t give me happiness. I think I’m too much of a Type A, to ever be in a place where I feel I’m not doing enough of what I want to do, with my career. Life can be embraced through work. It just doesn’t need to stop within the confines of your job and company. I’ll try to be more like the fresher me.
