If I didn’t have a wife and kids, I totally would’ve just quit and bought a cabin in Alaska and lived off of Busch light, Evan Williams, Ramen Noodles, and whatever I can hunt. Money ain’t worth this.

In other news... my daydreams have me thinking... the king crab and bairdi seasons happen October through December and if you get a good haul on opillio crab in January you could then remotely do tax January through April and take April 16th through October 10th off and still bank ~$250K/year. If my busy season skills have prepared me for anything, I think catching Bering Sea crab might be it: terrible hours, never ending grind, basically no sleep, but good pay if you can get into it.

Also, if anyone is interested in partnering up the Time Bandit is for sale...

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

I may lose a job opportunity because of my credit history - what can I do?

Started in *May* - Prior to signing everything, I expressed concern to the recruiter about the credit check. Honestly, it’s not great but it’s not terrible. The recruiter told me many times to not sweat it because it the background check was the main thing. And that we could talk through anything on the credit report. Now HR is telling me they may rescind the offer pending review. I’m crushed. What can I do?

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k.

I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
