I’m 30 and my spouse and I want to save a million dollars in 15 years by age 45. I figured 1,000,000/15=66,666/yr need to save. To get to 66,666/yr, need to contribute:
-401k at 19500k x 2
-Roth IRA at 6000 x 2
-remaining $7833 x 2 in a brokerage account

Does this look good? Am I missing something? With discipline 2 people can save 1 million in 15 years?

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Hello Everyone,

I lied about my fixed pay to the HR. He didn't ask for pay slip and all. The discussion happened over a phone call. They had sent me the offer letter with the compensation statement and I had sent them acceptance mail also. The onboarding has also started. In future whenever they ask about my salary slip will it create any issue. While saying fixed pay to HR, I just increased it by 1 lakh.

Thank you.

Anyone here who switched only due to CTC hike reason and later on regretted joining that new company ?🧐

Hi, just need some suggestions from like minded people.

Why does I keep dreaming or having that feeling of knowing everyone's salary around the globe and compare it with mine to see if I'm being underpaid or not, it's just keep bothering me all the time.. like what's his salary, oh he's a new joinee what he'd be getting.. ooh he's leaving he might be getting 100% hike..
Is this natural or I'm just bit weird one thinking like that.
