Anyone selling III points tickets for Saturday?

So with most airlines now waiving change fees, does that basically mean if price drops I can cancel and rebook at the lower price? Flying around Christmas so limited flight options that work timing wise but also prices are super high.

Am I being TOO risk averse? 63k salary, 1 YOE out of undergrad, spend ~$2.6k monthly ($33k annually) My question is, I have about 9 months living expenses in cash. Is that sufficient? I have high anxiety and am aiming for 12 but also know that I can be a little ridiculous at times.

If I have enough in savings, I would then naturally redirect those cash flows amongst my tax-advantaged accounts, right?

Current breakdown:

Checking + savings = $24k
Roth IRA = $17k
401k + HSA = $8k
Taxable = $2k

Does anybody feel pretty demoralized with their salary and amount of work they do? (I mean, I know the general consensus is yes for our field.) I don’t want to write a long emotional rant but I’m a year in, I make 100K, have 200K debt and with LA inflation, I feel like I can barely afford food. (Ramen is $20 now??) When I say “I feel” it’s because I’d still like to save a good amount and not live recklessly check to check. (Continued in comments)
