Hi all, have you seen the consultinghumor survey on income? What is your opinion on it?

Need some advice. Currently 32 YO with $23.7k in student loans, $60k in retirement, and $54k in cash. Want to pay off loans by end of year, max out 401k, and save for a house. Does it make sense to use $10k from pension to pay down loans and the rest from cash? How much should I have in my 401k by this point?

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Guys, i m in a pretty bad financial situation and need to pay my student loans and support my parents who lost their job. I m trying to brainstorm how i can make some side money. Thinking something that i can do remotely like an amazon store. Goal is to generate ~$1000 months in profits. I just have no idea where to start. How do ppl go about starting these?

Can everyone stop asking to raise taxes? People don’t deserve 24/7 handouts. Let’s take some responsibility, pls and thx

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Are you a “Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth”?

N = 10% x (Your Age) x (Your Salary)

If your net worth is 0.5N or less then you are an under accumulator; around 1.0N then you average; 2.0N or greater then you are prodigious.

My direct report expensed Cal Bar late fees assessed for reporting MCLE credits late and for paying the bar fee late. It’s around $190 extra. I don’t care about the money (it’s not mine) but I think this is principally wrong to ask the company to cover it. Thoughts on this and how you would communicate it?

Hi all! Interviewing for a BusDev role at Westwing. Also considering HelloFresh, Deliveroo, Tik Tok. Would love to get a view of these Europe exits, I’m wanting to move from Africa.

Just checked all the assets and realized we're close to 1M€ net worth. Most of it is on the house, don't feel rich at all.

I just got the contract for a new job in another European country and I’ve been asked to fill out below and am a bit confused regarding the “BLANK(S)”.

“NAME X, born on (BLANK 1) at (BLANK 2), residing in (BLANK 3), at the (BANK 4), hereafter ‘employee’.”

BLANK 1 - date of birth
BLANK 2 - where I was born? City or Country?
BLANK 3 - currently living in
BLABK 4 - ???

Help…..

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

So, where are you all from and what business line are you in? 😊

Hi all, how did you solve the retirement puzzle?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Was considering to invest also in an insurance, but is apparently not possible if you live abroad and then maybe go back to the home country.

Have any tips?
