Analyst 🐟 - what's your typical credit card spending/month? I'm at $1500-$2000 in DC and I feel like that's kind of high.

Dude that's a bit spicy. Back when I was at Booz Allen (not traveling) I was spending $500-750 a month outside of rent and utilities.

It u put expenses and luxuries on them that's about right.

Sounds like you should start opening more credit cards with spend bonuses

I'm not an analyst but I put close to $3g through my amex plat every month. I wish I could do my rent

my spending is ~$1200/mo not including rent+utilities. But I get a $250/wk per down for travel

If that doesn't include expenses, that's rather high. My husband and I spend quite a bit, and I budget about $2.5k a month for both of us. Big city in Texas.

That said - if you're saving a good chunk of your money and are happy with your purchases, who cares? Enjoy the benefits of your hard work. 😊

Like 1500 in NYC, doesn't include rent. Higher if I spend on a big item like a suit or iPad

SC1 - is there such a thing as too many nights at Madhatter??

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Hey everyone, moral issue here. My older brother is struggling with money and his mental health. I’m not so good with the mental health stuff but I do have a Robinhood account that has ~5k in it that I could give him to help him feel more comfortable. I make a tc of about 100k at 25 and he makes 50k working 2 jobs at 32. I can make that 5k back later in life, it would mean more to help him now when he needs it. Thoughts? All comments welcome. NOTE: I did help him find a therapist.
