I took the EQ test (Emotional intelligence) and scored over 110 on each section except for the 'Self Regard' section (scored 80). I am the first in my family to finish college and work as an engineer. I didn't come from a privileged family and hustled all my life to get to where I am. I believe I have done pretty well for a 25 year old. Yet I don't think I am valuable, most times I talk so fast because I feel like I am wasting people's time. I am having a hard time dealing with all this.

Hi there. For those that are going backdoor IRAs, how do you avoid getting double taxed? For example, I contributed 6000 to my traditional IRA (post tax since im above the income limit) and then rolled over to a ROTH. However only 5700 shows up in my ROTH (the remainder being taxed) am I not being double taxed?

Would this bother you? My bf has made jokes a few times now about me being a “boss baby” or “baby boss”.

For context, I’m the high-powered career person in our relationship. (He’s hard working but a satisficer vs a maximizer).

Design question for my work from home ladies - how did you decorate around a standing desk, large monitors, etc?

I find that with a large monitor there’s not so much I can put on the wall without having the monitor partially cover it - especially when the desk moves.

I don’t mind if the decor is covered when I’m using it standing, but want it to look nice when it’s lower down. Also find that with the monitor/laptop another square on the wall is too much of the same shape - any inspiration?
