Over the last 10 years, our NW grew from approximately $300K to $3M; my original FIRE target. Of course, inflation has changed the equation and my adjusted FIRE number is now $5M, which I expect to reach by the time I turn 50.

While I feel incredibly grateful and fortunate, I sometimes find myself wondering whether I’m aiming low.

Personally, I have no desire to be ultra rich. But don’t want to think money in old age.

My boyfriend is texting his best friend's girlfriend. He openly says "oh i texted her about x" to me and I believe him...but my concern is that they're going to start some sort of flirtationship. She's some sort of model and has even told her boyfriend that my boyfriend is funny whereas she says her boyfriend is obnoxious. Is this something to worry about? We're not in a great space right now so Idk what to think.

Hello all, my first post. Anyone else feel like their general manager won't promote them because they're afraid you'll make them look bad. Like they don't do their job well enough so you'll outshine them? Do you stay? Leave? Try to build the relationship? It's been a year. @Aimbridgehospitalityllc

Are investment properties good for retirement?

Currently 23yo with $65k in cash and $14k in student loan debt. Not sure what the best course of action is. What would you do?

Hey all! I’m 30 years old. About to close on a house with a 5.75% fixed 30 yr mortgage. If you were me and your goal was to maximize your net worth by retirement, would you put a few thousand dollars extra into paying down the house faster or invest that extra money in the market? The 5.75% doesn’t feel that low but also not crazy high so I’m torn. Thoughts? 🙏

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

Hi FIRE friends! My mom is going to get about 250k from the sale of her house in a few days. She’s 58 and has very little saved for retirement (immigrated to the US at 45 so only about 50k in her retirement savings currently). She’s maxing out 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA. I’d love to get all of your thoughts, where do you think she can put the money from the sale of her home?

Received a letter from Wells Fargo today. They are offering a refinance of fixed 30 year mortgage at 3.5%. I have no idea how they can do this judging by today’s interest rates. Currently my interest rate is at 4.5%. Judging by Wells Fargo sketchy history, I don’t trust it, however has anyone else gotten this offer?
