Does anyone mind sharing how they are saving for the future? Or just securing yourself? I have stocks/bounds, 401k, regular (1) savings/ (2) checking, about to open a self found Roth IRA. But, what else am missing? Should I do a health found? I’m also starting a bit later at 34, so I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. Any advice?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
