An interesting chart I came across in a book by Nick Maggiulli. These are % of US households in each net worth category by age as of 2024. This bowl certainly skews towards higher earners w/ lofty goals but good to have some perspective and realize if you are a millionaire before 40 you are in the top 6% of your age group. If you are in your 20s and have next to nothing becoming a millionaire is not impossible but it may take a couple decades. If you need >$10M to FIRE would need to be top 1-2%.

Is it worth it to make managing director at a Big Four firm?

Anyone recommend their firm for fed tax? Looking to stay in PA in a top 20 to continue working remotely.

Joining Google in a few weeks and assuming I will be moving to the Bay Area sometime this year. For people who have kids, what do you do about schools? My wife and I are looking to buy a place but most the public schools in the South Bay are rated terribly. It’s good to note we don’t have kids yet but are trying to think longer term. Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Should I buy and rent the extra bedrooms to friends, or stay renting and put savings in stock market?

Currently 25 y/o making 70k/year in Boston. I grew up pretty poor and I have minimal financial education. A lot of my salary now goes towards helping my parents get out of debt. My parents are no longer able to live on their own, so considering selling my grandmas house where they live (maybe 550k), paying off their mortgage (100k) and buying a duplex (between them they make about 55k/year). Is buying a two family home a good investment ? How much can I afford to spend on a new house?

The unending cycle is for real. Reached my LeanFIRE number 2 months ago, yet I don’t feel satisfied. Still reaching for the stars… when will this human desire end?

My company allows contributions to both traditional (pre-tax) and Roth (post-tax) 401k. Is it better to split my contributions between the two? For example, I could contribute 3% to Roth and 3% to traditional (my employer matches up to 6% total but that can only goes to traditional)
