Hi Fishers, I have accepted Walmart offer and my BGV has started 3 weeks ago. How do I check my BGV status? I will be joining in mid May. Also, I have been hiding one of the company where I had worked for 45 days and then absconded due to personal issues. Would it create any trouble? They had created my PF account though. Any help would be highly appreciated
Is there any requirement for salesforce guys?

This is all dependent and the FIRE #s tend to be flat rates whether your married or not. General rule of thumb...
1. Lean FIRE: <$40K yr
2. FIRE: $40k -$100k
3. Fat FIRE: $100K+
As a couple, figure out what your annual expenses are, add how much discretionary income you want on top of that, add it up, multiply by 25, and that's what you need to save. Then you withdraw 4% from that every year.
Example:
Living expenses: $30K a year.
Desired annual discretionary income: $70K (Hey, you've got plans, man!)
Total= $100K
$100k x 25= $2.5M
$2.5M - 4% = $100K
Your target individual income / 4% gives you a baseline for you. Target income for a couple / 4% works for a couple. You can base it on today’s dollars. COL adjustment is built in.
