Na you should be saving at least 150k

If you’re saving almost 40% of your post-tax income, I’d say that’s pretty damn good in NYC

Cmon D2! Be nice! When there are people on fb bragging about 200-300k salary figures, OP is not doing anything remotely close to that. He is just looking for an opinion, maybe a little validation

Damn good OP. Hopefully you’re maxing out on 401K as well? With no debt, now is the time to save so seems like you’re on right path.

Keep that up and before you know it you'll make more from your savings than your work.

I hear this cited from time to time, but it’s so hard to imagine that being true until you are late in the game. The only exception I can think of is heavy real estate investment, but that takes a lot of time and energy to set up at the level we’re talking

Yes

Hii sharks 🦈🦈🦈🦈

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻

Waitlisted at UVA Darden, accepted to a MS IT Management.

Previous military so I have a GI Bill to burn through. I'm waitlisted at Darden's EMBA and accepted to a 1-yr MS IT Management program.

My thought is that if I don't get off the waitlist, I can do the MS MIT this year then the EMBA next year. My mentor thinks the MS MIT might pigeon-hole me into the tech-only world and be redundant if I'm going to go on to get the EMBA.

I'm starting my first year consulting on an IT contract in June.
