Don’t space out in the middle of someone’s life lecture. The advice may be long-winded, but you’ll gain a lot by heeding it.

Save the “constructive” criticism for later because nobody’s in the headspace to hear it. Offer a sympathetic shoulder instead.
Ignore others’ snarky moods. If a grievance really matters, then they should have the guts to bring it up. Don’t do it for them.
You face some tough money choices. Begin by separating feelings from figures. It’s better to hold the bottom-line than to bottom out.
