Just got in the field at 41 and was behind. Probably will work until I can't, but I'll stop prospecting at some point.

Why retire?, just keep my best clients and hire a junior to take the rest. Work a couple days a week - give away my income and keep using my brain

60

Atleast financially ready at 59.5

Ability at 45, not sure when I’d check out though

Ideally 40. Realistically 85

75 hopefully I'm still sharp and physically fit until then.

No reason to retire from this business when our career offers so much flexibility...

Also, retirement dulls your brain and kills you.

Would love to work 25-30 hours a week at age 50 though with a few months off for travel each year. Teacher hours basically.

90.
Most men die within 7 years of retiring.

Also, does anybody know if Google Dublin pays for the on call?

What companies are holding (in their BS) the debt to finance the 2020-2021 boom for used RVs, used light aircrafts, luxury cars (used cars in general), used boats, art, etc.

Typically these type of loans are securitized and sold to 401k/mutual fund investments. However, that is not always the case (e.g. Carvana). I also heard yesterday from finance expert that BOA holds all loans thry issued.

Any companies in the industries above that are holding 2020-2021 financing in their books?

Curious for people’s thoughts on where I should be focused:

30yo, all figures combined for 2ppl:

-$325k household income

-$150k student debt (mix of mba and undergrad)
-$30k misc debt (car, credit card, personal loans)

-$35k in 401k savings
-$2.5k in HSA savings
-$1.5k investment account
-$8k cash savings

Didn’t do so strongly in our 20s (worked at nonprofits, spent outside our means), but want to spend our 30s getting financially secure. Where should we start? Pay down debt? Start saving?

M24 TC 80k
No debt
Net worth 130k
~55k mixed between Roth 401k and Roth IRA
~47k personal trading account
~25k in crypto
~1k emergency fund
~3k cash

How am I doing and what can I be doing better? Any recommendations are very much appreciated.

What to select in Form 11 for the below question when moving from JP Morgan to Wells Fargo:

While this may be bad for companies, it opens doors for those looking for work and advancement for the rest of us. Obviously people wouldn’t retire without adequate savings and so I think this is amazing news for us all. Right? Thoughts please. 🤔

My partner and I (both in our 20s) would like to get a house but it seems like we either get it now or in the next 5 years. I plan to get my MBA full time in 2022 (sponsored, hopefully), which means I would have no work history for two years. My partner will likely do a year long clerkship in 2021 that will sky rocket his income after, but since it is a pay cut it will not look good for preapproval. Right now, we have been employed for 2 years with a good combined income. Should we wait it out?
