I’m 21, a new mom, and in college full-time. My boyfriend works part-time but hours are super inconsistent. We’re currently living with my sister, but it’s not a safe or stable place for me or the baby—she’s constantly threatening to kick us out or drops rent responsibilities on us last minute.

I’m planning to retire early next year, and thanks to a mix of deferred comp and a small payout, my income for that year should be similar to this year’s. But now I’m considering a “retirement gap year” — taking a break in 2025 and maybe going back to work in 2026.

U.S Senator Rand Paul this week introduced the Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025 to restore personal responsibility and state flexibility to the federal food assistance program. The purpose of the bill is to confront an uncomfortable truth: while the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was created to fight hunger, it is now fueling a new public health crisis — obesity and chronic disease — by subsidizing the purchase of junk food with taxpayer dollars.

A possible surge in overdose deaths in Denver could indicate some irregularities in the street drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned Monday. The Denver Post reported there have been a dozen outdoor deaths in March in Denver, including nine in a nine-day stretch. “Over the past month, there have been a lot of reported overdoses in Denver being responded to with naloxone by people who use drugs, services providers, and around the Colorado State Capitol,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville said in the needle exchange’s newsletter Monday. “Over the past couple of weeks, we started noticing the public death posts on social media and then multiple sources from the city reached out to let us know they were overdose related. We alerted HRAC participants and other service providers for quick communication. Unfortunately, many in the city have expressed that we will need to wait for weeks and months before they will officially determine these deaths as overdoses. That is incredibly frustrating as we need real time information of the drug supply and the names of those we have lost.”

How do I politely tell her I need a break without it turning into a big thing?

Your new life is going to cost you your old one . It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost you relationships and friends.

All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.
