Any good ideas to keep your day job and start a business that allows for enough freedom to take taxable income from 350k to 0?

Single and childless but would like kids. High income and maxing out all tax advantaged accounts I can but was thinking of starting a 529 in my own name to be transferred to future kids. If I don’t have kids maybe transfer it to my nephew. Thoughts, pros, cons?

I’ve been reading a lot of FIRE books lately and want somewhere to discuss. What are the biggest takeaways from your FIRE journey/ research?

For the past 2-3 years, I have obsessively tracked my net worth/income trends/investment performance over time. I checked my trends just now, and OMG I hit the 300k net worth mark right around Christmas. I guess I haven’t looked at my dashboard for a month. This feels so cool. I want to shout it from the roof! I can’t really brag about this to my friends, so I’m sharing here! 🎉 🎉

What’s the meaning of life before FIRE and after FIRE?

Hi FIRE friends! My mom is going to get about 250k from the sale of her house in a few days. She’s 58 and has very little saved for retirement (immigrated to the US at 45 so only about 50k in her retirement savings currently). She’s maxing out 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA. I’d love to get all of your thoughts, where do you think she can put the money from the sale of her home?

I consolidated grad loans in ‘15, kept federal separate from private (w SoFi @6.75%). Can I refinance w SoFi or w Earnest? Should I combine the federal and lose the protections for better %?

Should I move to another firm and take the higher pay (20% more) and do more work I’d enjoy doing and have better growth and long term career potential, while sacrificing my current title (would have to step down from associate to analyst), WLB, and team chemistry?

Does anyone use a brokerage account instead of a checking account? Mine offers a fee free debit/atm card and free checks which I'd rarely use but starting to question whether it is worth maintaining my "big bank" checking account that requires a $1500 minimum balance.

I also have a local credit union checking/savings that I'd use if I need any services or to deposit cash and a HYSA that gets my paycheck, is used for mortgage and credit card payments, and to transfer to checking or investments.
