A lot. I'm not a baby boomer, and I'm not a gez Z living the YOLO life here. I understand SS is gonna be drained by the time I'm 50, never mind 65. I have been living well below my means and have been contributing at least 50% or more towards savings and retirement/investments. That doesn't mean i don't go on vacations and live like a hermit, but I don't waste money on junk 24/7 like lots do.

Now that I am getting a little older, preparing for the future is becoming something I am thinking a lot about. I don’t want to wait and live my life in retirement, I want to live it now, however I also want to have a roof over my head and not starve when I’m retired either. Trying to find the middle ground in that.

I invest a decent amount, though I’m still focused on paying off my current debt. I’m starting now so that my investments have a long time to sit while I work on running my debt down before increasing investments.

Hi Group, seems like it should be basic format, but I just can not get it to work. a list of data and want to alternate shade (blue,white,blue,etc) each line but if I have multiple lines I want to group together and they all shade the same. I want to group by the same data in column A, and the number of rows that are the same could vary. So let’s say row 1& 2 same entry in column A(blue) row 3 different (white) row 4,5,6 same as each other different to other rows (blue) etc… help 🙏

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
