Don’t you get paid every 2 weeks?

Growing your investments is partially about making good decisions with your money, and partially about living below your means so you have extra money to invest over the course of the year.

That would be in an ideal world. However, people have financial responsibilities in addition to investing. Not everybody can allocate funds to invest every 2 weeks.
I invested the money I had in crypto in addition to index funds etc. now I am upside down. Ideally, I would just buy the dip.. but that’s not possible and might not be possible for many people.

Zoom out on the index fund charts and you’ll feel much better. This is just a routine dip for the time being even though there is much chaos going on with individual stocks, especially in stock and tightening interest rates. Long term index 💯

Hey recruiters!

Trying to find some guidance on giving the best option on getting that initial HR call in tech. During my career wise, I’ve been fortunate enough that recruiters reach out to me about job opportunity within the financial sector and airline industry but not tech.
