Lol y’all too rich for your own good

Not quite, my expenses are just below LCOL levels

Almost all in brokerage. Because I feel like if I need money I can just sell some stocks for 6 months of emergency fund. I would not have done this if I was younger and if I didn’t save enough.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.

It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
