How is everyone preparing for the tariffs and economic nightmares barreling down on us next year? My salary isn't large enough to allow me to put much away, so I know I'm nervous. How much of everyone's salary are they trying to put in savings?

Keep listening to woke media lol. It won’t be a nightmare

Maybe for you. But for a large portion of Trump’s base (many of whom didn’t even understand what a tarriff was until after the election) they will quickly realize that what they couldn’t afford in 2024, they DEFINITELY can’t afford in 2025. Those pesky tarriffs!

Welcome to the FO stage….

I try to put 2 to 5% of my salary in savings/retirement but things have been getting tight so I'm not sure what I'll do next year when these tariffs hit

I can’t wait until they cut social security. I’ve saved for my retirement and I’m tired of paying for old conservatives brain washed by Fox News and saying they hate socialism but living of their SS checks 😅

Thanks 2 percenter, awesome!

Would anyone recommend or share a side hustle that would complement a banker’s 8-5 M-F schedule? As of now, I do an hour DoorDash before work and after work I do DoorDash and Instacart for a couple hours. I do this as well on the weekends targeting about $200-300 a week since I am in a really small market. Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!

I cleared all my rounds of interview in JPMC, had salary discussion with HR 2 weeks back. After which i was asked to apply the job on candidate portal and submit additional information.

Its almost 2 weeks and i haven't heard back anything from them. My status in portal shows "You are moving to the final steps in the process". This status has not changed since last 2 weeks.

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
