Мы не можем позволить себе такую роскошь — медленно готовиться к экзаменам. Нужно срочно начинать!

I don’t know how to translate…
«Я работал вплоть до настоящего момента» sounds too official.
I think, a rephrasing is needed. Something like «Я работал, пока ты не пришёл» — “I have been working until you came”.

Maybe, «Я ни в кого не влюблён»?
What is the context?

I want to say that the reward for my services (i.e. money) are not enough.

Then Soft sign's version was correct, false alarm.

Thousands alike exist:
Это просто подачка
Это жалкие крохи
Это просто смехотворная сумма

Just an opinion of mine

Although, I agree with Soft sign's version of "This is my policy" - "Это мой принцип"

But I think that if we're talking about business policy it's better to say:

Это моя/наша политика
