My girlfriend is a Latina and immigrated here to the US from another country. I educated myself and have a successful career, and am working on climbing out of the poverty I was born in. She is an extremely hard worker, but there is a significant income difference between us.

I've never minded being the primary one to take us out to dinners and experiences, but for the past 2 months or so, she's been straight up asking me to buy her expensive things. A MacBook and a car, and for help repairing her current car. She's not asking in a joking way, she genuinely got mad at me when I didn't help her with her car repair. And I cannot over exaggerate when I say she asks me to buy her a car or laptop every single time I interact with her. Quick phone call to see how her day was going? "It'd be better if I had a laptop." There are some days where she pokes me for literal hours begging for a laptop, and I'm unable of having a normal conversation with her.

I don't know what to do at this point. I wouldn't mind supporting her more if we lived together and were married, but we're not there right now, and our relationship has been a little rocky lately anyways for other issues. I don't think she's overtly a gold digger since we were together for over 2 years before she started this behavior, but it's starting to wear me out. I'm also tired in the relationship from other issues, so I'm not interested in having yet another serious sit down conversation about how a behavior of hers bothers me.

The real estate projects team at my company wants to flow all capital project related invoices through our construction in progress account to help them track cost and completion status. This includes costs we know should be expensed (such as moving costs) and even invoices received post project completion. They said we can immediately expense an invoice or capitalize it to the appropriate FA account, but that it helps them keep track of project status if an invoice initially goes to CIP.

This doesn't sit right with me and I don't believe this is an appropriate way to do things. I want to push back and say as much, but I'm having trouble finding specific guidance in the codification or SEC letters specifically stating this would be improper use of the CIP account . Does anyone know of the proper authority I can reference in this situation?

Please, I want it so bad! I love this album but sadly it's nowhere to be found. If you have it and are interested in selling, let me know and we can have a conversation about a fair price.
