One of the toughest things to do is to learn which things to say no to -- and which to say yes to. It's tempting to want to do all the things. However, chances are that you say yes to more than you should.

When you are bogged down by obligations, you reach the point where you need to say no, for your own sanity. Unfortunately, when you try to hard to do all the things, you might end up in a situation where you can't say yes to the opportunities you really want.

In order to avoid becoming overcome by all you need to do, it's important to understand what really matters to you. Narrow it down. Focus on the essentials, and then expand from there, only saying yes to the things that you really want to do. And if you need help figuring out what's most important, create a life map.

When making relationship goals, few of us decide we want to be with toxic people. However, there are times that we just sort of end up in these situations. 

If you feel like your relationship is bring you down -- and it doesn't have to just be a romantic relationship -- you can get out of it.

As you look at your relationship goals, re-evaluate where you stand and how others influence your life. It might be time to ditch the toxic people in your life. It might even be time for you to realize that you have some of your own toxic behaviors that you should work on.

Many Millennials are putting off traditional life milestones like marriage, buying a home, and starting a family. Many Millennials have subscribed to the "you only live once" - YOLO. 

Travel is a big deal for many young adults who want to experience life before responsibilities and age weigh them down. But do you risk running out of money later? 

You don't have to give up experiences now. Plan ahead, and take steps to be responsible with your finances, and you can YOLO now, and still achieve financial freedom later.

Should you buy or rent? We talk a lot about the importance of homebuying as a life and money milestone. But do you really need to buy a home to be an adult?

We wade into the homebuying debate -- on the side of renting. Miranda has actually owned a home, and never wants to again. Harlan has never bought, and he's not sure he wants to deal with a mortgage. 

Miranda and Harlan tackle the homebuying debate and look at why it seems like such a big deal, and talk about how you can rent forever and STILL be an adult.
