Thoughts in continuing to rent in a small town just outside the city and staying remote vs moving to a bigger city and paying significantly more? Make 100k, paying 1k/mo in rent, maxing 401k, roth IRA, HSA, and extra in brokerage. No plans of buying a house (want to keep renting for flexibility as I invest the rest but obv can change down the line).

Worth it to slow down FIRE path for a bit for longer term career growth and accelerate it in a year or 2? Anyone else go through this thinking?

I want to start a thread about important questions to ask before accepting a job offer. For example, before accepting a job offer I will generally respond to the offer asking the following questions:

1. Health insurance (insurer name, deductibles, my portion of the premium)
2. 401 K (company match?)
3. Bonus structure
4. Required billable hours
5. My office hours
6. Partnership track
7. Will I have an assistant/paralegal?
8. Will I have my own office?

Please add to this!

How much do you save / invest each month?

160K out of my 225K net worth is in retirement savings. Anything I should reconsider here? I’ve been maxing things out and always felt like that was the right answer, but want to know if I’m missing anything. I’m 25.

I’ve been working for a couple years, living at home with parents so I have a considerable chunk of savings, BUT I’ve made the folly of not investing my money. I really want to start investing meaningfully, but what’s the best way to go about it? I’m pretty risk averse so was thinking of just putting most of my money in index funds, but I’m not really educated in this space. Any tips?

I don’t have a risk appetite to play with whatever savings I have left. Thanks!
