If people are going to contantly schedule Zoom meetings during lunch, then they’re going to watch me eat during the meeting. Today, it’s a jar of olives I will be sucking the pimentos out of.

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

Is this reasonable or am I missing something?

I started maxing my 401k from year 1 and I hope to have $5 million or more by the time I retire around 60. Wouldn’t it make sense to put all of my yearly $19,500 401k contribution to ROTH 401k instead of traditional 401k?

My reasoning is that I would pay 35% tax now and my remaining 65% would grow tax-free in ROTH 401k…. versus traditional 401k where I deposit 100% but every distribution will be taxed 35% assuming I make a lot in retirement.

I need some advice. I got a new job back in may of this year. Very excited for a new opportunity to learn some new things and get a higher paycheck.

I also work fully remote. I am feeling very unfulfilled and not sure what I should do next. I am very self motivated and want to make great work but not sure what to do.
