What do you think is a record time for a beginner to sell their first home? I just started in the company and I was lucky that the people I took as my first clients were the people I worked for as a nanny for their children. I made the sale 3 days after starting in the agency, and everyone congratulated me. I think I broke a national record.

With a multi year market bill run, real estate crushing it, cryptos and startups flourishing, the number of millionaires, decamillionaire, centimillionaires and billionaires is growing rapidly. Add inflation in the mix and I worry that my former FIRE goal of 10M by 50 just won’t cut it the way the world is moving. Heck, I have more friends than ever sitting with a household net worth of 10M at 35-40 not to mention all that boomer wealth transfer coming their way. How to plan?

Does anyone take high level tech jobs in government seriously?

I've seen a BA in international affairs with 5 YOE end up as the "chief product officer" for a $30M organization with no technical or product (rather than program) mgmt experience. Another Director for AI ($5B org) with a BA in poli sci and no technical experience/education either.

I've seen this again and again. On one side, I'm wondering why I'm stuck at the second level of FAANG with my tech chops. On the other, maybe these...

New college grad just started working FT and I’ve been reading this bowl for awhile and want to make sure my saving plan is on track/best way to prioritize.

1) 6 month emergency fund (target $10k which is more than I need, but I want the peace of mind)
2) Roth 401(k) up to employer match (6%)

Plan is to split extra cash between these to have better tax advantage from 401(k) but also have access to funds if needed from brokerage acct
