What provider does BDO use for its 401k plan? (Fidelity, Vanguard etc.)

My home office is NY but I live in NJ and I’m filing taxes in multiple states that I worked in this year.

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

I’m really thinking about getting a second job to supplement my income. I make 90K a year including a small bonus but I want to make more. I’m 7 years out of college and I just feel like I should be making at least 6 figures by now. I love the company I work for. I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. I’m thinking of maybe finding a small company that needs help with collections or receivables but it’s so hard to find a job like this that can be done after work hours. I don’t want to double dip.

I’m a true solo who just started my practice two months ago. I was just offered a position at a midsize firm making $85k with health and dental. Also possibility of paying off my student loans. I feel like I would be miserable there, but it sounds wonderful to have a steady paycheck. What do I do???
