As Dave would say, "You need a bigger shovel"

Sorry to hear that. I’d agree with the “need a bigger shovel” analogy. $300 for housing is a good price for the income, but the goal should be to balance income to skill and lifestyle for long term investing. Divorce shouldn’t take everything, but it is a setback.

Goals should include maximizing income. What’s the healthcare field and trajectory? Healthcare is a very broad field. Whoa opptys exist with your path to increase income?

Health care system is taking off lots of benefits that we used to have. Salary don’t go up much for what I do.

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

Hii sharks 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻
