I’ve always believed Employee Resource Groups are one of the most underrated parts of corporate life. They create spaces where people can connect, share experiences, and build community across functions and levels. For me, ERGs have been more than just networking—they’ve been a source of mentorship, professional growth, and even personal support.

Curious to hear from others: how have ERGs impacted your career or workplace experience?

Bought a house with 10% down for 380k. Appraisal came in a 400k but now I’m doing renovations. Completely redoing both bathrooms in the house.

Should I refinance after this to get rid of PMI? Current rate for 30 yr is 2.625%. Aka is it safe to assume my appraisal can come back above 435k to equate to 20% equity?

Also, I started doing the daily readings on the Conference of Bishops website. Anyone interested in joining me to set up a group bible study of sorts via zoom or something?
