I have fallen into the trap of comparison ( works at a decent consulting firm, feels the need to go to MBB, wants a better salary, better title etc ) and it’s taking a toll in mental health. cont

Hi all! I was asked coordinate a local happy hour for my team. The issue I’m having is that I’m currently pregnant and am not sure if I’m comfortable to hang out with strangers. What’s the most professional way to say no without hurting feelings / burning bridges? Or should I suck it up and go?

Partner: ‘if you are comfortable, it makes me UNcomfortable’

I currently work at a senior level in product management, I have around 4 years of experience in the field. I'm severely underpaid and feel quite undervalued by the company. I've also been supporting my wife who's been doing her Masters for the past 2.5 years, and being in NYC my savings are absolutely minimal. My PERM is processing so I can't even make a move for another 6-8 months and I'm scared of doing so in light of thr current job market. I'm struggling to deal with my situation. Help?

How do I find my true FIRE number, not the 4% rule based shorthand. I am at $3M net worth but I don’t own my home. Live in HCOL (SF/NY) where I could buy something but one, I feel I’m being a sucker buying inflated real estate, and two, I think my investments will compound faster than real estate. I’m 40. So should I calculate FIRE based on my current rent plus inflation, or based on taking on a big mortgage, locking up chunk of net worth into down payment and mortgage — and won’t then FIRE soon

I make 70k CAD and want to get started on my FIRE journey. Any tips? I don’t have a lot of savings and I have only just started. Pretty scared seeing the housing prices 😢

How many people in this bowl are also minimalists?

If one has a 401k (pre tax) thorough their employer and an independent Roth IRA (after tax), is investing in a Roth 401k (after tax) a better option if the employer allows it? Making a little under 100K for reference

Realized I’ve been contributing all post tax dollars to my 401k for the past 1.5 years. Am I able to convert this to a roth somehow? What kind of tax liability might I have? Should I switch to pre tax contributions?

Does anyone know the answer to this? - My first mortgage statement was generated on 11/2 with a due date of 12/1 and includes a month of interest based on the balance on 11/2. I made a principle only payment on 11/14 of $500 which was applied right away. Will the interest automatically recalc to reflect a lower outstanding balance for a portion of the month? I plan to do this every month.
