I do get a company match on 401k and I have a generous contribution.

Start with a decent index tracking ETF or two if you’re in the $1k range

Update on my boss-adjacent, hot F Director who made the “tied down” comment/hint/signal/joke - she scheduled a “work dinner” at 6:30pm today for me and her to chat about the strat deck I’ve built as a follow up from yesterday’s meeting. Anyone think she saw me blush lightly at her comment yesterday and she’s making a move, or is this strictly work related?

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
