Money Discussion (113K total comp 94fix+19variable), my partner pulls in another 50K. By definition we are supposed to be rich! But honestly it is very far from it, very very hard to think about buying an apartment /house or even a car. We live a fairly simple life, don’t eat out much, limited social spending, buts it so hard to save! What am I doing wrong ?

C’est que vous habitez à Paris. Les salaires sont moins qu’aux États-Unis mais le coût de la vie est presque que le même

How much have you saved/invested? What’s your monthly expenses and savings breakdown? What budget have you defined for an apartment? Can’t really tell you anything of value without that.

FWIW I make very close to what you do and I am able to live very comfortably, saving/investing a considerable amount each month, going on vacation and I was able to get a mortgage for an apartment years ago when I made significantly less.

@PwC1 Ca dépend de l’endroit aux US. Avec 150k dans le Wyoming c’est clair que ce sera largement plus confortable qu’a Paris. En Californie du sud ou NY, bon courage - les prix pour se loger ou pour une crèche font passer Paris pour la Creuse.

I had 50% in VT and 50% in individual stocks in my brokerage account but I just accepted a job from a Big 4 so I need to sell some of my individual stocks. I need to invest that amount in something else and I want to tell my portfolio a little bit towards something that’s a bit more risky for higher potential returns. Any suggestions on ETFs to look into?

Hi, I am an expat living in France and working as an IT consultant. I got an experience here that recruiters insist on disclosing my current salary. Is it a norm in France? Do you reply how much you earn? To me it seems absolutely inappropriate and irrelevant. I can respond what are my future salary expectations. I refuse to tell how much I make now, and then recruiters say that they can't proceed with my application without this information. WDYT?
