For those heavily invested in Ether — what’s your Peace Out Price?

Curious about net worth milestones. How long did it take you to go from 100k - 1m? What was your “story” (income/savings rate/asset allocation)? I realize many probably achieved this in the bull market we’ve been in, but still curious.

$AVAN which has been mentioned here a couple of times is currently at $9.78... at below $10 isn’t this essentially a risk-free investment? Also, what are people’s thoughts on $AVAN in general - it’s European focused, have heard rumours around Babylon Health as a possible merger target. Any thoughts much appreciated!

I currently max out my 401k, is it worth reducing my 401k contributions to save aggressively for a 20% down payment. My lease ends in July so would consider buying around that time frame. Or is it better to keep maxing 401k and just put less down and pay the PMI?

Anyone investing in SHIBA want to come together to develop a gaming app to help with the burning process?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

I see Schwab’s best margin rate is 6.575%, wouldn’t you need to invest in an asset that appreciates more than that to make using margin worth it? I know you can use the margin interest as a tax write off, am I missing other benefits?

Georgia commercial real estate attorneys:

If a party enters into a PSA to buy real estate with knowledge that the Seller is already under contract to sell to someone else can the party take title free and clear of the earlier PSA (neither buyer has closed yet or recorded yet). This comes up because we are always arguing with sellers that if they sell the property to someone else in breach of the PSA and we can’t get specific performance as a result then the buyer should (continued in comments)

I used to enjoy being in meetings and getting exposure to clients and people more senior than myself. I still do, BUT I can't relax when I'm on video. I hate it and just want to turn it off. Not sure why it bothers me so much because in-person meetings were always fine. Anyone else?

I’ve had issues since high school, but just formally got diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve always managed to get by okay at work (I’m no super star), but remote meetings have been really difficult for me and I now feel like I’m barely hanging on. Trying meds now, but no benefits yet. Pros and Cons of disclosing the diagnosis to my team, partner, or firm? I’m torn.

SEEKING OPINIONS & FEEDBACK: I love the honest & practical discussions here, where people can freely identify things that are going on & seek guidance.

Wondering whether anybody’d be interested in some kind of more purposeful community- i.e., gathering w/fellow lawyers to pursue some specific mental health & well-being goals? We’d provide some counseling/coaching type content, in bite sized chunks, but have regular discussions to connect & encourage one another on applying the content IRL.

When did you know you wanted to become a Partner and stick it out with consulting? (More context...)

Hi guys,

My current company laid off my complete team (including myself) few days back. I've managed to crack an interview at a MNC but the HR is unwilling to give me more than 10% increment on my current salary since I joined my current company only 6 months back.

Do y'all think I should accept the offer and secure a job first without thinking too much about negotiation? And then maybe try to find better offers?

I just started my first day at a startup (on the executive team) but a new friend of mine wants to utilize me as a part-time portfolio manager/financial advisor given my entrepreneurial, VC, & operational background. His holdings are $10m+ and mostly in real estate but he wants to get more involved in tech investing. I have a background in both and it won’t violate my obligations. What terms should I offer him? I was thinking: 1% AUM and 10% profits. Please offer any advice.

Hi 🐠, question on CFA / CAIA- are either worth pursuing if you want to “up” your professional bonafides? I don’t come from a background in finance, but work primarily w/ PEGs like so many of us.
