Hi Fishes.I have a H1B petition and about to get visa stamped.Petition vid for another 1 year .I need to know can Visa be transferred after interview to new employer without cancelling the Visa by current employer?

Currently 25 years old.
Goals:
* Own a home in a HCOL
* 2 kids (eventually)
* Retire at 50 on $125k/year.

Envelope math:
* $125k/year would require an investment portfolio of ~$3M.
* Targeting a $2M home (split with partner)
* 2 kids - $1M to raise both (including college fund, split with partner)
* $500K buffer for unexpected expenses
* 33% tax

Therefore, 6.5-7M retirement savings needed. To hit this (assuming 6% return after inflation), I’d need to save ~$110k/year.

How does this sound?

My H1B petition is approved( visa processing is left). What are the next steps and timeline? Should I retrieve my resignation in hope of this?

Will I ever get over my poverty mindset?

I grew up very poor. I get extreme anxiety and shame when I spend money above $20. Deep down I feel like I should scrounge and save every penny. I use bath towels that are 10 years old and threadbare cause I can't bring myself to buy a "luxury item" despite making oodles of money and have a ton saved and invested.

Anyone else get over this?

Question for those who have been in consulting longer than I am. I joined AP last year and love everything about the firm. WMP reached out to me earlier this year about their opening and I wondered if I should go ahead with the call. As you work and get more experienced, how did you handle these type of reach out all the time? Did you proceed with application/interview/introduction call? Did you say I’m happy where I am? Like I want to keep my option opened and getting paid what I’m worth...
