Hit $500k NW today. Getting married next year and planning to have kids in next 2-3 years. Currently in SF Bay Area. When does it make sense to buy a home vs continue renting?

Wife and I are both 30 and in our green card process which can take another 2 years

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

3rd interview in 4 months for 3 different positions. I heard I wait a year to apply again but I make it to onsite and don’t move on and apply again 3 weeks later. Is that bad? They keep calling back.

How strict is Google about returning into the office? New York based

Well I guess my holdings are never going back up in value

Starting to see a lot of compensation threads and even within the same city, the variance of salary is really noticeable. I didn’t expect the spread to be this high, especially in high COL areas.

Hi everyone,
Can anyone pls connect me directly to the manager for onboarding, instead of company's job refferal id wise, coz mostly none of the companies actually reach out. I'm tired of current organisation's politics and want to quit. But due to 90 days notice period not getting any calls for interview.
I'm a PLSQL developer and data analyst using Excel and Tableau (basic), currently I have 2 yoe also having fair knowledge unix and java as well.
Please help.
Thankyou!

Feel like this has probably been asked in here 1,000x but...

I have an idea for a web+mobile based platform

I’ve done market sizing, know exactly what it is and how it’ll work, and even have verbal seed funding offers.

But I can’t code.

What do I do next and how do I protect my idea from being stolen?

Any accredited investors here? If so, have you ever actually made an angel investment?

There’s a practice group that I’ve been trying to find work in but whenever I volunteer to help, I always get roped in to do non billable work. In the beginning it was fine but now I’m feeling it’s never going to amount to actual work. Any tips to get more involved without all the non billables and how to approach this gently?

What books would you recommend for someone wanting to get better at sales?

How do I start building rental property portfolio so I can FIRE?

What are some aggressive ways to control your spending? I tried a little but of everything(paying myself first, only debit cards,cash) but seems like i have the urge to spend and i do so. Any tips?

The unending cycle is for real. Reached my LeanFIRE number 2 months ago, yet I don’t feel satisfied. Still reaching for the stars… when will this human desire end?

Decided to payoff my mortgage.

My monthly salary is around $6.4k after-tax. Living in NYC. Do you think it’s reasonable that I pay:
- about $1.5k on rent
- about $500 on utilities and subscriptions
- about $900 on student loan
- about $2k on food and etc.
My saving goals is around $3k so been trying to adjust my monthly spending.

I’ve been reading a lot of FIRE books lately and want somewhere to discuss. What are the biggest takeaways from your FIRE journey/ research?

Anyone here over 70% in VOO or VTI? Is that a smart move for less-involved investor?

Max out 401k before contributing to taxable brokerage? Roth IRA is already maxed out.

27 F. Work as 1st year associate in Big Law NYC. Base salary $215k, bonus is ~$10k (lowballing), student loans are $150k, total savings are about $100k. 0 family money and will likely be supporting parents long term. Any advice on how/when to start investing in real estate. Currently have all savings in market (with personal investing in index funds or 401K/RothIRA/mega back door).

Which is the best brokerage to get into Pre-IPO?

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

What is your savings rate for the year?
I am saving 66% of my take home pay and I’m pretty satisfied with it.

When do you predict the dip? I've been waiting for so long, but don't want to buy now. VTI seems inflated.

Have 20k, what’s a good small business to start with this fund? Serious question here

Anyone know of a good cross-border US/UK financial fiduciary?

im 27 and could possibly retire if I kept my spending low. However you never know what’s going to happen, do you? How do you deal with the uncertainty?

For the past 2-3 years, I have obsessively tracked my net worth/income trends/investment performance over time. I checked my trends just now, and OMG I hit the 300k net worth mark right around Christmas. I guess I haven’t looked at my dashboard for a month. This feels so cool. I want to shout it from the roof! I can’t really brag about this to my friends, so I’m sharing here! 🎉 🎉

What is your socioeconomic background and how much NW do you consider “enough” to be able to live comfortably?
