Some days in finance feel like balancing a spreadsheet that never quite ties out, no matter how hard you try. Curious if others ever feel like the real challenge isn’t the numbers, but everything that comes with them?

Even in marketing, I feel this way. Part of finding peace is just letting go of the idea that it'll ever be finished or complete. It's just not possible. You'll never get the perfect answer or complete closure. The data will always be a little bit off, a little bit wonky.

Any job always has a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Sometimes it’s overwhelming. Lately, I’ve been drowning in the work, and it’s not like any one thing is difficult. It’s just everything stacked up together that’s hard.

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.

What do you think is a reasonable total fee for a prenuptial agreement where both parties have significant assets and there is some negotiation?

I had a prenup a few weeks ago that came out to $7,000 and another about $5500, and I didn’t overbill, but I am willing to write some off if that seems excessive or I am just slow. There were several negotiations on the higher priced one. (Continued…)

Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"
