Sometimes I joke that I wish I didn’t have to work at all, lol. I keep telling my husband to hurry up and do something so I can retire early. But then another part of me really wants my own career too. I’m always stuck between the two.

Do you think it’s selfish to expect that from him, or is it just a normal thought we all have?

I have this joke with my husband and he has it with me. Honestly, I don't dream of labor lol. I think it's a normal thought, as long as you're not putting too much pressure on him by "joking" about it frequently.

I have never put any preasure on him about this. I just say as a joke and he does the same thing with me. We both wish we had a lot of money that we did not have to work.

As a single woman, I have this dilemma every new work week. I don’t dream of labor as well and I want to retire early. I’m putting in the work for that. I want to own my own business one day.

I like your this thought and more power to you. I wish you good luck for your future.

No because I felt this on apersonal level. I say the same thing to my husband all the time. I don't think it is selfish, I think there are a lot of us who have those thoughts.

Right? I have this thought every single day. I guess I should put in work for that.

I've often said that if I were independently wealthy, I would probably do what I do now. Just not as often ;)

You said it better. I often think what if I am retired and I don't work then what else will I do? It is better to work I guess rather than being idle.

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

I’m looking for assistance on building your own portfolio in my traditional 401K. I’ve been reading that it’s important to choose funds with low expense ratios. Also, that it is recommended to have at least one US stock, international stock , and bond. I am 24yo so ideally, I’d want to allocate 90%-100% to stocks and 0%-10% to the bond. Any other things I should be looking at?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home
