Anyone else struggling to keep forecasting models simple? I swear every month someone adds another assumptions tab. I’m all for nuance but at some point we are just modeling noise.

Tell them to stop and quit trying to outthink logic. Pick their poison and move on

I'm right there with you. I do my best to keep things as simple as possible. Complicating everything just makes it messy.

That's one upside of the government shutdown, there's no new data being released. And the data collectors aren't working, so it'll take a while before anything appears even if we ever get a functional government in place. Some may say we're flying blind, but an optimist would say we're modeling less noise.

For couples who are not married yet - Do you guys talk about net worth, income, or anything even finance related? I know my SO earns more given his current industry, but thinks it’s rude to talk about those things. But I’m wondering… isn’t it normal for couples who live together or are married share those info? For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
