As salaried employees in London, how do you all optimise taxation? Pension contributions and ISAs? Or are there other ways?

Hi friends - need a suggestion. My mother got critically ill due to Covid and has been in the hospital in India for over a month with added complications. Hospital charges are through the roof and it is a long road ahead of us. Are there financial aids, options available to explore to meet the expenses? We are salaried people and parents are retired. We are exploring loan options and wanted to check with this group for other creative ways to manage. Thanks a lot for the help!

How much wifi & Router Reimbursement In Dxc ?

Anyone referring for US healthcare? Need help in getting someone a job.

I’m a founder looking for advisors and mentors in the mental healthcare system for my startup. I would appreciate if you can let me know which communities or conferences I should go to find these people. If you’re interested in becoming a startup advisor, please let me know! If you experience consistent frustrations in certain products, I’d like to hear your story.

Currently 25 years old.
Goals:
* Own a home in a HCOL
* 2 kids (eventually)
* Retire at 50 on $125k/year.

Envelope math:
* $125k/year would require an investment portfolio of ~$3M.
* Targeting a $2M home (split with partner)
* 2 kids - $1M to raise both (including college fund, split with partner)
* $500K buffer for unexpected expenses
* 33% tax

Therefore, 6.5-7M retirement savings needed. To hit this (assuming 6% return after inflation), I’d need to save ~$110k/year.

How does this sound?

Looking for feedback from the group about the benefits of using an exercise ball as a chair vs transitioning to a standing desk. Costs are an obvious factor in favor of an exercise ball but curious if anyone has seen any health benefits using either. Thanks

I have $160K in retirement accounts (maxing backdoor Roth IRA and Trad 401K each year), $120K in cash/CDs/investments. What else would you recommend for FIRE by 45-50? I’m 25 now, make 200K/year, and would like kids at some point.

Anyone came to delottie from accenture? How do u enter accenture 401k into the track & trading? Thanks!

Is this a bad time to transfer my 401k from one company to another? New company doesn’t match.

Would I be crazy for paying 3200 rent on 130k tc? Currently pay 2900 and max out my Roth, contribute up to empl match to 401k, spend freely on what I want, and usually end up with 1-2k at EOM depending on how crazy I go. I guess I can afford it but want to gauge if this is unwise in people’s minds.

Did the death of the Chadwick Boseman hit you harder than any celebrity death should have? Why does this feel like such a gut punch?

Feeling sad. I’ve frozen eggs and am ready to try in earnest now for a child but my husband doesn’t really care about having kids or wanting to try. He’s always been like “if it happens it happens.” I’m 37 - it hasn’t “happened.” That’s all, just sad.

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting but I thought I’d try to ask, I received a request from a recruiter to interview for a new insurance company I’ve never heard of: Branch. Looked it up and it seems to be a new “Techsurance” company working with both home and auto policies. Does anyone have any information they could share about this company? Thank you!

I start my new job, tomorrow, as the “Client Relationship Leader” of a very large design fabrication company. I will have to abandon my Mac/Adobe creative suite upbringing and learn the PC platform for Corel (🤮), sketchup and some other 3D software. Normally and historically, this would be a deal breaker- as these programs run fine on a Mac- has anyone had to switch and how what we’re the biggest hurdles? I get on a PC and get so frustrated not being able to do what I want to do.

Does your university affect your working life in any capacity? I’ve recently got on a grad scheme at a Tier 2 firm and I’ve noticed the cohort is largely Oxbridge/UCL/Imperial and so, as someone who went to a former poly, I was wondering whether your university can impact on your day-to-day, or even in the medium- and long-term? Looking to hear from those in a similar boat if poss - any prejudice towards you?

Considering doing so but not sure what level to pitch salary at. Any thoughts or past experiences would be welcome!
