I’ve seen your rants about NYC. Moving to Austin isn’t going to fix your problems FYI. I say that sincerely.

Save money on taxes, though. So there is that.

Also, Austin is a smaller city with smaller city dynamics.

Austin is not the greatest LGBT scene these days… Houston is actually much better (and cheaper), not to mention far more affordable for comparable types of neighborhoods. Austin has more clubs, Houston has more community.

Do you like Houston?

Curious about net worth milestones. How long did it take you to go from 100k - 1m? What was your “story” (income/savings rate/asset allocation)? I realize many probably achieved this in the bull market we’ve been in, but still curious.

I have two kids and expecting my third - a 10 year old and a 5 year old. We live in NJ and work in NYC. We currently dont have a 529 plan for our kids; also not sure whether 529 is a good option for college education savings considering NJ doesn’t get a deduction for it; what other options are out there for college savings funds. My hubby wants to save 50k each for our older two kids in next two years but we are completely clueless where to put this money for a good return and get tax benefits.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Hi everyone - I’m just beginning my career and I’m very proud of the work I’ve done in accepting myself and living openly after having grown up Catholic. Through a lot of self-examination, I’ve started to realize the full extent of the trauma I experienced and held onto from growing up LGBT. I’m honestly surprised that this part of the process isn’t more talked about as it seems to be a relatively common experience. Are there any resources you’d recommend to help with this healing process?
