Does anyone here work for Silicon Valley Bank? They recently acquired Boston Private. I’m a candidate for a job at Boston Private. Wondering if SVB is planning layoffs in the near term at BP? Also, does anyone know the anticipated benefits to be rolled out from SVB as the parent company? Specifically interested in health insurance providers. Thanks in advance for any information!

I've been able to save and invest more now than during covid but its because I don't do anything. Everything is expensive so you'll need to figure out what you can stop doing to save more. I save ~20% of my income.
My emergency fund has dwindled lately and I'm having a hard time building it back up. I don't do much anymore, I stay away from impulse buys, and only eat out about once a month (when I'm sick and tired of cooking) but still can save much.
Once you reach your target goal for your emergency fund, you should stop adding to it and invest any excess instead.
But yes, I save/invest about 30% of my income. The minimum recommended by financial experts is 15-20% if you want to retire in your 60’s. Pay yourself first and automate your savings, then force yourself to live on what’s left. You shouldn’t sacrifice your own retirement if you can help it.
