Dear Bubbi,

I hate my life! I have the most boring, underpaid job on this planet and because of lack of money, I am forced to live at home at 24 years old. You probably won't answer my question because I don't even have one. I just felt like complaining.

Dear Miserable Guy,

Surprise! You made it to the column even without a question. You're entitled to have a pity party, but after you're finished kvetching (complaining) about your life, sit down and figure out how to change it. Go to your local bookstore and check out the business section. There are dozens of books that teach people how to market themselves. Sounds like you also could use a budget makeover. Go over all your expenses each month and see what you can eliminate. Keep a daily tab of what you spend...You might not realize how all that little stuff adds up. You have the ability to change your life if you really want to!

Dear Bubbi,

I introduced my fiance's sister to my little brother and they really hit it off. Everything was great for about six months, but now they've had a big fight and they're trying to get the two of us to take sides. This is really awkward for us. Any advice?

Dear Frustrated Matchmaker,

I'm sure you had only the purest of motives when you made the match (and maybe even visualized a double wedding) but here's a reality check...There is no way you can be subjective when it's your little brother and his sister. So zip your lip and suggest to your fiance to do the same. Deigeh nisht! (Don't worry) They'll work it out without you!
