I'm single M. Mid 30s and have been working since early 20s. 300k in investments ( including emergency fund) and another 200k in 401k retirement .
Fully stressed out and thinking of taking a break for 2 years to decide what I want to do with life and some global travelling with points. Plan is to use 2k/mo for 24 months totalling 48k.

Any other creative ways to coast for 2 years without losing much of what I have accumulated? Or anyone did something similar to this to share your experiences?

What is it like to work in the KPMG Consulting- Healthcare team at KGS Bangalore? Also, What is the office location as I heard there are 2 locations in Bangalore itself? Thank you in Advance.

If given the opportunity, would you leave your current job to run/work at a start up? I think most people would say yes, but would you actually give up the job security/pay/benefits and take a risk?

Help! I'm afraid I might be doing something wrong. I am paying for my Traditional IRA with my salary (so after tax). When I withdraw it, it will also be taxed. Where is the benefit?

HHI is $265 and I believe we will be in a lower tax bracket when we retire (hence not using roth)

I currently work in Atlanta for a healthcare management company that is local to the area. I just got into the healthcare industry and have my bachelors degree in health science. I work in a position in the revenue cycle and I am looking to possibly get a new job in a more established company. I want more stability and opportunity within a company. Does anyone know of any places in/around Atlanta or remote that may fit this criteria? Sorry for the vagueness. Thanks!

I think this recent fiasco of shafting employees and their benefits should make young workers and millennials really plan out for the future. Save and Invest as much as you can so you can get financial independence. Embrace minimalism so you can have the power to say F You to any employer.

Last week I got an email from a job that I interviewed for months ago asking me if I was still looking, the current person they hired got called back to active duty and resigned. This job is a manager position with a large university and has amazing benefits, only draw back I have to go back into the office. After our 3 hour interview with the department chair, dean, and other managers they seemed very interested in me. They have completely ghosted me and I am stressing me out.

Best office chair for pregnancy? My ikea chair is not cutting it. I have a standing desk at home so bonus points if it works well with that. I have short legs, so it needs to be able to go lower to the floor than other chairs. Maybe one that has a great range so I could use it to lean on while standing and also sit ergonomically.

any thoughts on using fundrise as an avenue to get into realestate investing?

So, I’m struggling. Used to be a pathological saver and had tons on money anxiety. Now, I have totally fallen victim to lifestyle creep and need to cut back on frivolous expenses (eating out and clothing). I’m SO ashamed that my monthly spend is so high (approx $7k/month). I make big law money and can afford it but I am stunned at how easily I spend money now. I’d like to divert more of that cash to retirement, but I need to rein in that spending before I do. Good god.

Manager with a big 4 and finally have enough liquid cash to make some meaningful market investments.

Any recommendations on brokerage or service to get started? Looking at Vanguard Personal Advisor service at the moment… Thanks for any advise

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?

Looking at refinancing my home and I’m trying to figure out how to best include additional equity in the equation since I’d go to a shorter term, but effectively keep the same payment ($50 more per month). If I roll all of the closing costs into the loan, I show myself coming out ahead immediately due to gaining nearly $500 in additional equity.

Am I missing something in how I should treat that equity? It seems too good to be true to be ahead Day 1.
