Is it still FIRE if I spend $25k a month but make $100k-$200k a month?

Hi i am working in TMB bank as assistant manager. Now I want to switch to IT since my qualification is MSc IT. What are the certifications I have to do. And is it possible to switch my sector.

Friends, are you ready to take the 'good person' test?

1) How many lies have you told in your lifetime?

2) How many times have you stolen anything regardless of value?

3) How many times have you looked at a person with lust?

4) How many times have you used 'Jesus' or 'Christ' in place of a flithy cuss word?

The bad news is we all fail the test. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for us, so that if we repent and trust in Him we can enter beautiful Heaven and avoid horrendous Hell.

Currently interviewing for a nontechnical role (final round is getting scheduled rn) and I see there’s a new job posting for a different role that I might be more excited by, for the same/associated team. What do I do?? Email my recruiter saying I want to be considered? Apply? How does going for two roles work? The referral from the original job I’m interviewing for has expired fwiw.

My husband has 3+ years of experience specializing in PL/SQL Development. Anyone have a lead for remote PL/SQL jobs? He's mostly looking on LinkedIn and working with recruiters, but is there better places to look? ZipRecruiter?

So finally i found a sweet girl. She was my uber driver from airport. I felt a sudden "💙2💘" connection the first time we had an eye contact. Is it just me after busy season or what?#trollswelcome2💩

Anyone know of a good cross-border US/UK financial fiduciary?

I’m 36 and I recently reached a net worth of 1 million dollars. I thought I was doing good but then I see other people with several millions and can’t help but wonder how they got there.
I feel I’m doing everything I’m supposed to (I save, I invest, I max out my 401k, IRA, etc...).

What can I do to upgrade my game and reach those higher numbers?

Just got hit with the $550 CSR fee. I don’t really want to quit it; I just don’t want to pay as much. Is there a way to get it lowered?

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

How much have you saved from refinancing your student loan?

Are y’all waiting to do a mega backdoor Roth to see what they do about build back better this year or just moving forward with it?

Recent college grad with ~$25k in student loan debt and no investments. I have about $10k I want to invest but I have no idea where to start. Please help

Whats the biggest tip you have for FIRE?

For me, I think “pay yourself first” is the most important. It forces me to save money first so I wouldn’t need to worry about making a budget for expenses, since I can see how much “disposable” money I have to spend.

I just started this recently. Each month, I allocate $1k of my pay to my brokerage acct and $1k to HYSA (to buy property). I max out 401k and do backdoor roth. And save all my bonus. So each yr, it’s around 70k: 24k + 20k + 6k + 20k bonus.

When do you predict the dip? I've been waiting for so long, but don't want to buy now. VTI seems inflated.

Anyone here working in the NYC area? Wondering how you manage to save and buy for a house with such a high cost of living in the city and the suburbs around it. How did you do it? And areas that you would recommend looking at. I’m currently 24. Maxing out all retirement accounts, debt free and have 6 months emergency fund. Looking for areas to buy a house in the future, but getting discouraged with these crazy prices

Turning 28 and hit $300K NW today. Never formally FIRE’d but want to set out a plan for here onwards. What’s some good material / easy reading to start with?

Just watched office space again and realized it’s actually about the FIRE movement (without explicitly saying it)

Have 50k in brokerage to put towards buying a place in Atlanta. Young 20 something who's lease is ending soon

Roth IRA and 401k are well funded but don't want to pull from there.

Should I buy and rent the extra bedrooms to friends, or stay renting and put savings in stock market?

What is your socioeconomic background and how much NW do you consider “enough” to be able to live comfortably?

What do most people invest in for their Roth IRA portfolio? I’ve heard target funds and ETF’s..which one is better?

How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or?? They are too young for earned income and I don’t own a business so no IRA investing opportunities here.

For the past 2-3 years, I have obsessively tracked my net worth/income trends/investment performance over time. I checked my trends just now, and OMG I hit the 300k net worth mark right around Christmas. I guess I haven’t looked at my dashboard for a month. This feels so cool. I want to shout it from the roof! I can’t really brag about this to my friends, so I’m sharing here! 🎉 🎉

Does anyone know the answer to this? - My first mortgage statement was generated on 11/2 with a due date of 12/1 and includes a month of interest based on the balance on 11/2. I made a principle only payment on 11/14 of $500 which was applied right away. Will the interest automatically recalc to reflect a lower outstanding balance for a portion of the month? I plan to do this every month.

I contribute 10% of my paycheck to my employee share purchase plan. Is this smart to do given the tax repercussions behind it? Is it smarter to invest less in that and more in my Roth or 401k?
