I am 29, single, 2.5 years until coast fire, but I am so burnt out and hate my career in internal audit. I've been exploring other career paths but the ones I'm interested in make significantly less than what I do now. Ideally my plan has been to work for 7-10 more years to lean fire and take a lower paying, more enjoyable, potentially part time job. However I no longer think I can make it work until then. Has anyone done a major career change before hitting their goal?

Hi Fishes, I am really interested in product management and want to switch my role from risk analyst in a product owner/product manager role.

I have two mortgages, one at 3% and one at 4.25%. Is there any benefit to paying either of them slightly higher than the minimum payment requirement (ie, maybe like $200/month more)?

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle? My goal has always been to payoff my mortgage then find a really easy analyst role to sustain my expenses. Assuming I’m a director/VP by the time my mortgage is paid off I’d probably be able to do an analyst 40hr week in like 10hrs. Esp at some of these low expectation companies. What do y’all think about this plan?

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖
