I have a visa stamping until September 2024, I am planning to request my employer to raise h1 amendment request for my permanent move to Austin as my new home construction will be completed by Oct 2022. Spouse is in india with kids and having h4 Dropbox appointment in Aug. once h4 is issued, I’m planning to travel to india in Aug to get my family back to the states. Most probably amendment will be in process during my visit. Will there be any issue at port of entry? Any suggestions??

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Hello Fishes,

Recently accepted this role as Product Manager(Payments) at VISA for the Bengaluru location with the offer around 31LPA. However, after coming down to Bengaluru, I am seeing the Product Manager salary shopping game way bigger than I could imagine.

I have 14 years of experience where most of it under cards&Payments domain and am a CSM. I could have switched location and company a lot earlier but it's okay.

Need suggestions - Shall I start looking for options for better salary?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
