Pro tip for anyone worrying about their earning: Don’t take any advise from financial or wealth advisors yet. Most of the time, they will hard sell you their losing investment products and you end up in a worse state while they profit from you. Don’t fall into their trap!

Totally fell for it. Got a friend that bought into a 10 year annual contribution into their tech ETF in this market. Tbh at this point I'll call them out as being unethical. Why call themselves financial advisors when really they're just sales people.

Earning less, but spending more and worrying more. 🥲

I feel this.

Yes. So what I do is set up my retirement plan and savings to be automatic. The rest of the moolah, I can spend.

Yep. Making 30k more than I was 2 years ago…half of it will go towards higher rent

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.

3 attorney firm. I’ve been here for 6 years and have used Westlaw exclusively. Now we are switching to Lexis because apparently Westlaw is too expensive. I hate change. I know where everything is on Westlaw and now I need to relearn. Apparently Westlaw will not budge on price and would rather just see a client leave than work with them. Super annoying. Any insight on negotiating Westlaw or transitioning to lexis?

I want to ask for more money, but don’t want them to see me as a flight risk or that I am not loyal anymore. Or my bigger fear is they’ll say they cannot offer me any more and then I feel like I have egg on my face. Any tips for delicately balancing this?
