I heard you could use the college savings 529 plan towards grad school. I've never tried it as I am currently pre-MBA. It was something my friend suggested. You can also find a firm that can cover a good amount (I heard Deloitte covers full tuition).

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

Advice time. So I’m making 100k roughly and I still live with my parents. Moved back due to COVID as did a lot of people I think? Anyways I want to save $ to buy a house. Should I still be living at home? I was planning on leaving when COVID finally becomes a thing in the past so assuming the summer of 2022 so roughly 8 months from now. I know I am extremely blessed and thankful to god that my parents are kind and allow me this but just want advice please.

I've been in PeopleOps (mostly focused on TA Ops) for over 9 years now.

Hi!

So I am getting ready to start studying for the PHR, any tips on how to better prepare for the cert?

Also, I am more interested in the People Analytics side of HR, do you guys think this will help? I do have experience with SQL, Tableau and Analytics in general.

Thanks!
