Don't eat out, don't go out for drinks, stop shopping. Aim to save at least 40% of your salary. Contribute the max to your 401k automatically, then for the rest of the year invest every other paycheck. You can get loans for cars and houses and college educations but you can't get loans for retirement.

It doesn't matter, that's just what I use. Use whatever you want but set up auto deposit into savings. And do not spend the savings money, cap one requires you to wait a few days before you can withdraw money and that helps a lot with impulse buys. I have a massive drunk shopping problem so it's done well for me

Betterment. Set up an automatic deposit. You'll end up saving more money than you realize. You won't be able to change your spending habits. But you will be able to save in the process.

I left my old job the end of January (due to compensation) and hate my new job. I don’t sleep and am constantly stressed. I have been interviewing since May, but I can’t seem to find a good fit that has an insurance Plan that fits my needs. I am thinking about reaching out to my old job (very small and tight knit) to see if there’s a position available for me still. They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
