Anyone feel a 6 month safety net isn’t adequate enough for the recession we’re going through? I just fully funded my 6 month goal and need to figure out how much I contribute to 401k

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

Any idea how much house we can afford? Good resources to conduct the search? Any help appreciated.

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ.

Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?
