I don’t do it often, but there’s some months when I overspend.

My family friend just died at 35 after battling cancer throughout the pandemic. Didn’t see most friends or family for 2 years then she was too sick to do anything. I’m not saying that’s typical, but certainly makes you think. Don’t make a habit out of it, but yeah… some months get the steak, take the vacation, enjoy life

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

I used to have a fitbit. Really liked a lot of its features. Like the reminder to move and the competition within the app (games and competitionvs friends). However, whenever I was at work I'd find myself taking it off for more comfortable typing and then forgetting it during the day. Now that I'm back at work I'm sitting more and need to move. I was thinking of getting an oura ring. Does anyone have one? Any thoughts as to which is better?
