Ah, busy season depression. My team tried to play an April Fools joke on me by hiding the food they brought back to the office (I was on calls and couldn’t join), and I just assumed they forgot about me and didn’t say anything because I was already spiraling.

0 motivation to get out for a run today

I am just starting my weight loss journey, trying to figure out what my BMI is and what types of food makes me more fat. Any one here can make recommendations? I googled but so much info...

Anyobe else doing ok then suddenly remember the gravity of the situation and have trouble focusing? I’m used to working at home so it doesn’t feel jarring... then I remember how many people are dying,

I’m in real estate tax group and looking for good books about RE fund/investments/accounting during non busy season. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?
