What services are they providing you? If they are just investing for for you that is a high rate, and you would also want to see the fees on the products they are purchasing. For someone to manage your investments you are better off with a robo advisor.

If you are looking for Financial Planning you should look for a fee only advisor.

Make sure anyone you work with is a Fiduciary, and ask them directly.

How's the leave policy in Pwc AC Bangalore? I joined here recently and I'm not sure on what basis the leaves are added.

And I got 7 days sick leave on top of that from every September. So could someone let me know how it works in @pwc ac Bangalore?

Anyone ever use a credit repair service and have success?

I have about $40K of debt (one loan, and a few credit cards). My approach is to

1. Not spend anymore on cards.
2. Pay it down starting with the smallest
balances first and then moving up from there.

Any advice on trying consolidate it into one loan? Thanks.

Currently 25 years old.
Goals:
* Own a home in a HCOL
* 2 kids (eventually)
* Retire at 50 on $125k/year.

Envelope math:
* $125k/year would require an investment portfolio of ~$3M.
* Targeting a $2M home (split with partner)
* 2 kids - $1M to raise both (including college fund, split with partner)
* $500K buffer for unexpected expenses
* 33% tax

Therefore, 6.5-7M retirement savings needed. To hit this (assuming 6% return after inflation), I’d need to save ~$110k/year.

How does this sound?
