How often do you check on your investments? I feel like I’m doing pretty well compared to other late 20 year olds. Does everyone have a number in mind before they stop being stressed about money?

I check things everyday, I can't ignore it for even a day. I think I need at least $1M in order to feel totally financially secure. I know that might seem like a lot but with inflation as it is and the direction of the economy.. I feel like I need to have at least that much

That was my total net worth

I don’t really have a set number, if anything I am more concerned about not needing as much to live off of? Paying things down and being able to maintain a lot of expenses is a focus. I think there are certain numbers I’d feel better at, but really you just never know what can happen.

Just remember there are always two sides to an equation.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
