Have 80K of cash I've received from death of family member invested over 3 to 5 month period (other chunk of it will be donated).

Continue my annual saving minimum I set this past year of at least 40K a year. My saving rate is around 50% with this number. This past year, I was able to save closer to 50K due to pandemic. We got a 5% raise so I think that 50K again should be an attainable target.

Hopefully hit 500K net worth, majority of it invested by the end of 2021. I will be age 32.5 then. I have about 14.5K in student loans which I don't care to pay off quickly because they are at around 2%.

Really hoping to be able to find property to purchase for investment living/future investment purposes in the fall. Instead of putting cash towards it, I'd like to borrow against my investment accounts which would be at a very low interest rate and use that as a down payment.

We’re expecting our first so we don’t really need three rows yet, but we’re planning on keeping this car for 5+ years and we might want a car to grow into. I guess I’m wondering whether it’s worth it to pay more for the extra space at this stage or if we should upgrade later.

Anyone else required to put together completely unrealistic timelines?

Upper management's direction is to put together the most aggressive deadlines we can. If we think a project will take 16 months, make the plan for 10 months then there's a chance we may launch in 13 months.

I understand that time to market is important in consumer product goods, but being constantly behind schedule and rushing everything is terrible for the team's morale.

We adopted a senior calico kitty from the shelter back in November. She is the Queen of Sass... we love her but man can she be spicy.

We have been to a few vets as she is a senior lady and has renal disease. All of the vets we have been to indicate that it is common amongst cats of that color - calico/tortoiseshell - for them to have an attitude.

Has anyone else experienced this? Are certain color kitties really predisposed to certain temperaments?
