Have been stuck in a circle for years: I want a bespoke suit -> I’ll lose weight first -> I’ll buy cheap JosABank/Alfani/ClubRoom for now cuz the size won’t fit -> nope I’m still fat -> I want a bespoke suit 😫

Get a suit that fits you now. When you lose weight you can take it in.

I agree with EY-P. Get a suit that fits you now. Get another new one when you lose weight and get in shape. A nice reward.

Yea get the suit! Stop depriving yourself. You’ll save money long term by getting one or two really good suits vs. cycling through whatever from JosABank etc. Plus you’ll feel much better. And you can always take it in if you lose weight!

I work at a Financial Institution and have recently been approached about a Director role with my prior company. It’s a great opportunity but I have 2 young kids (Preschool/Elementary ages) and I don’t want to sacrifice time with them for career advancement. I would love to hear from working moms in senior leadership roles to understand if it’s possible to balance both, or is it best to wait a few more years?

I’m originally from Brazil and most of my investments are allocated there.

Brazilian fixed income products are paying 13.25% returns and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to secure this return in Brazil or if now it’s a good time to build a portfolio with US equities?

I was wondering if anybody on here has warned their replacement to basically run and not take the job?? I’m leaving my job next Friday due to a toxic boss that was hired three years ago. I have a week and a half to train my replacement who I really happen to like and I really feel like I need to warn her not to put down roots. I know I shouldn’t even be concerning myself with this, but I’m feeling a lot of guilt not telling her the real reason I’m leaving-has anyone done this?
