I just turned 60 and realized something. My 401K hit $1M. Aside from the remaining $200K on my mortgage I'm debt free. After tax, benefits/401K I take home ~$7K/month and live fine on it. My soc security at 62 is ~$3000/month. My planned investment mix is planned to be 70% SP500 30% money market. Hopefully average ~7% annual return. I have a 529 for my son. It seems like I'm close to being able to be a beach bum in retirement for the rest of my life (est 95yo hopefully). Opinions? Thnx

Any recs for a full brimmed hat to wear on the beach in South Carolina? Recently got diagnosed with vitiligo and can’t rock the backwards hat anymore on the beach.

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
