Yes, but it wasn't in finance - was a volunteer role at a non-profit.

I thought I would work for my last job (not in finance) till I retired. I kinda hated the job, but I REALLY like the people in my immediate team. Also I started at that job in 2017 and they spun off into a standalone small company in 2018 and I was pretty senior, so it really felt like my own company that had a power to shape.

Fast forwarded to 2022, I couldn’t stand working there due to burnt out. I got a new job, but funny enough, I am thinking about going back almost every day or even 1 or 2 or 5 years from now and continue working till I retire.

Neve! But good for you.

Definitely not the role I'm in now

Never will. I really like what I’m doing now. But I know that life happens and things change. We’ll see

I'm fine where I am for now, not forever but enough to be satisfied in the near-term future. Best we can ask for at this point lol

Nope

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.
