23 - $1,000

Grew up in the hood with no sense of financial literacy. Finally able to save some and it feels good as hell to have this $1,000! Hoping to get to $6,000 by this time next year. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Different things are important to different people. I max out my retirement contributions every year and I’d be alright for four months if I lost my current gig. I’m 35, self made and confident in where I’m at. I travel as much as I can, ski and snowboard every weekend during the winter and surf as much as I can during the summer. I drive a nice car and live in a nice place and eat well. I have a kid and kids are expensive. These things are important to me. Cool for you guys that have over $150k in savings. That’s not super important to me and I choose to live my life differently than you. I just wanted to share a different perspective here so that others don’t feel as shitty for living this way.

Hello All,

Can anyone please help me here.
I have made my tax payment in July 2022 but yesterday (15 Nov 2022) I receive an email that tax payment is due for assessment year 2022-23

I called to help desk and he advised to raise rectification request from Tax portal and update the challan number. I tried to raise request but need to upload some XML or json file there. I am not sure how to upload or modify that file.

Does anyone know what steps need to follow as I already made my tax payment.

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.
