Prioritize 2-3 items max or you will burn out real fast. Let go of a few thibgs and your quality of life will improve. You can always go back to the things you have put on the back burner.

Forget anything more fancy with respect to investing in the market over indexing and DCA. Focus on killing the Gmat. You’ll get a lot more bang for your buck with a 750+ Gmat in terms of scholarships at B school vs investing in the stock market

My therapist of 3+ years just told me that she’s going to stop taking insurance starting in January and her new rate will be $160 per session (right now I pay $45 for our weekly sessions). My insurance will not cover any of it.

I’m panicking. I struggle with depression and anxiety and my weekly sessions are what keeps me going (and meds!). I also love my therapist and she knows everything about me. I don’t want to start over but I also don’t know if I can afford $160 per session… what do I do?
