For the past 2-3 years, I have obsessively tracked my net worth/income trends/investment performance over time. I checked my trends just now, and OMG I hit the 300k net worth mark right around Christmas. I guess I haven’t looked at my dashboard for a month. This feels so cool. I want to shout it from the roof! I can’t really brag about this to my friends, so I’m sharing here! 🎉 🎉

Anybody know what's up with QS?
Good to buy the dip? They down 40%

Anybody in here trade options? I trade Iron Condors and have been having success with that but would love to hear what other people have been doing

I currently make 60LPA in Hyderabad and my firm has an offer for 150k in Chicago. Is it worth? I am generally happy with the package in India and have good savings as I own my house in Hyderabad and I am not a lavish spender. I have been onsite in US previously with an allowance but I did not go crazy over the so called American experience. Single earner with one kid.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I feel like I'm going to get screweeeddd over with this upcoming housing market crash. I know we paid hundreds of thousands more than the house is worth 😭

EY folks - how do I increase my firm group life insurance coverage (not the group universal / variable policy)? My wife’s coverage is at like 3x my salary but mine is only at 1x my starting salary from 5 years ago…

Hey Folks ,

Can you help me understand the PF deductions in Coforge CTC, Is it just the employers contribution ? And employees share will be deducted from Gross Monthly Salary?
Also about LTA , Can i opt out of it and get it as taxable amount?

Thanks in Advance 🙂

How should one properly calculate total comp? Base + bonus + stock options? Should you only include options that vest that year or include the total $ granted that will vest over 4 years?

Thoughts on LCA stock?

Let’s talk credit cards! Is there any one which has 0% foreign transaction fee? (Like Revolut)

If you had to guess when oncycle will be, what would you say? I’ve heard funds were disappointed by participation rates and quality last time, so I’m curious to see if they can show enough discipline to wait this year.

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

I have ~50k in a hysa earmarked for a future down payment. Would it be wiser to backdoor that cash into a mega Roth to increase earnings and then take out what I need in a year? Or better to keep them separate

Damn coinbase, I see you ;)

Anybody using Marcus high yield savings? 1.9%APY seems like a no brainer, just want to be sure I’m not missing anything.

Looking for suggestions on stocks to invest for beginners? Any suggestions on YouTube channels or articles/people to follow to read and stay updated on these things?

Amex platinum vs CSR??

Any tips on taxes for defi? And yes I have to…I transferred from a KYC to my Fantom wallet and have soo many transactions

Hello fishes, will be really insightful to understand cost of living in Doha for a single person. Rent + food and other expenses manageable at 8-10k QAR/ month?

Hey everyone. I'm joining JPMC next week and was wondering do they provide a budget to purchase your own laptop/equipment. My manager said they don't provide laptops and that I can use my own. My laptop isn't the best so I would want to buy a new one.

Better for tech: Harvard MBA/MS joint degree or GSB MBA only

How many deals (M&A) is appropriate for a first year attorney? I'm wondering if I should be challenged more and worried I'm not excelling enough. I don't like having idle time, and feel like I grow more effectively with ongoing challenges. Not experiencing that now

How much is the fixed base and CTC range for a newly promoted M1?

Hi folks,
Joining EY GDS in a weeks time. Do we require any account in a specific bank for salary payments

Any of you heading to SXSW? Looking to meet some new peeps.

I am a Sr. Designer in DC looking for a position as an Art Director with experience in brand strategy, alignment, print, motion & digital design. Interested in all openings. Thanks!

I was giving my kid the advice that the path you sometimes believe you are on is not necessarily where you will land, in a good way, and to stay open to those paths.

Help me make my point.

What did you THINK you were going to do when you started college, and what do you do today?

As a fresher and having completed 2 months at DI I feel that there is no growth for me here. Has anyone felt the same?

3 years in this apartment without any pests or bugs..2 months before I move out I wake up to a mouse freaking out in one of my bags. I grab the top of the bag and walk it out.. as I’m walking it out I see a mouse that looked just like the one I saw in my bag run past me. Not sure how it would’ve gotten out but I’m so grossed out rn and confused as how it got in 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hey fishes,

Does EY provide relocation expenses for moving inside same city? From one end to another end? To shift home in other area?

Any clue if Oracle India will renegotiate for offer if counter offer is provided?

Can others share where you were at by your 3rd/4th year in estate planning in terms of plans/complexity of cases you were overseeing? Is it normal to still have all your plans reviewed by a more senior attorney 3-4 years in?

I contribute 10% of my paycheck to my employee share purchase plan. Is this smart to do given the tax repercussions behind it? Is it smarter to invest less in that and more in my Roth or 401k?

Is an IPO in anyone’s FIRE strategy? Maybe this is specific to the Bay Area, but it doesn’t seem that unrealistic to negotiate enough equity to make $1.5 mill off an IPO. Or maybe I’m dreaming 😂

I have two mortgages, one at 3% and one at 4.25%. Is there any benefit to paying either of them slightly higher than the minimum payment requirement (ie, maybe like $200/month more)? Additional factors to consider, my HYSA currently yields 3% and I am looking to buy another property in about 2 years and would prefer to not sell the either of the two properties currently on mortgage.

I opened a Marcus HYSA based on the advice in here and now (too late) I'm freaking out that I allowed this "Plaid" thing to access my bank accounts to move the money over. And it requires linking all accounts, which seems unnecessary. Do folks think it is secure??

I'm going to accept an offer that's 150k+🎉 I'm a single filer, no kids. I'll be able to max out: 401k, HSA, but from my understanding, I will not qualify to utilize IRA? Aside from building a 6-month emergency fund (HYSA), what are potential next investment vehicles? I do know I want to start purchasing real estate for cash flow. But what about mega-backdoor Roth IRA? I'll admit, I still need to read more on it.

Just curious what investment vehicles you're using to get to FIRE.

What’s your FIRE target age (where you no longer maintain a salary job)?

1M net worth, 450k total comp, age 35, just paid off tons of student loans TONS, want to retire at 50. What’s the move?

Investing beginner here. How did you learn? Any resources that I could read/watch would be helpful. Thanks

Max out 401k before contributing to taxable brokerage? Roth IRA is already maxed out.

Anyone here from NYC? Be cool if there was a meetup.

Whats the biggest tip you have for FIRE?

For me, I think “pay yourself first” is the most important. It forces me to save money first so I wouldn’t need to worry about making a budget for expenses, since I can see how much “disposable” money I have to spend.

I just started this recently. Each month, I allocate $1k of my pay to my brokerage acct and $1k to HYSA (to buy property). I max out 401k and do backdoor roth. And save all my bonus. So each yr, it’s around 70k: 24k + 20k + 6k + 20k bonus.

FIRE newbie here. Is it possible to reach FIRE with a special needs kid? Has someone done it? Are there any alternatives to fund therapies beside insurance?

What is your socioeconomic background and how much NW do you consider “enough” to be able to live comfortably?

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

Anyone here working in the NYC area? Wondering how you manage to save and buy for a house with such a high cost of living in the city and the suburbs around it. How did you do it? And areas that you would recommend looking at. I’m currently 24. Maxing out all retirement accounts, debt free and have 6 months emergency fund. Looking for areas to buy a house in the future, but getting discouraged with these crazy prices

What do most people invest in for their Roth IRA portfolio? I’ve heard target funds and ETF’s..which one is better?

How much have you saved from refinancing your student loan?

Any good ideas to keep your day job and start a business that allows for enough freedom to take taxable income from 350k to 0?

Are y’all waiting to do a mega backdoor Roth to see what they do about build back better this year or just moving forward with it?

I consolidated grad loans in ‘15, kept federal separate from private (w SoFi @6.75%). Can I refinance w SoFi or w Earnest? Should I combine the federal and lose the protections for better %?
