This feels very attention seeking, but I’ll humor you.

Look up how many Americans have that saved at any age and report back to us😒

Stay focused. Investments can go away and so can a great salary. A brilliant person told me, "if you have an abundance, invest in real assets". Own your home out right, etc. Whatever led you to be in your position, thank for it God. Recognize others aren't as fortunate. Make the most of your opportunities to be a giver, it will grow you in character and spirit.

If you feel like you have more to give - start a hobby or side hustle that you are passionate about or continued education in new areas.

25, 150k/year, ~160k NW. I need to invest more / diversify at this point tho. I also feel like it's not enough... I honestly feel like I'd need to make $300k to feel relaxed. And with 10x the NW.

I come from a poor immigrant family, so it's not just myself I'm saving up for.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
