Not unusual

Took me 1.5 hrs to get home (Wicker Park) from ORD

The airport itself isn’t too bad. It’s the 1.5 hour downtown to airport drive time and the 30 minute taxies once on the ground that drives me insane

Uber pickup was brutal on Tuesday for some reason. 1st driver didn’t move for 20 min and wouldn’t answer phone. 2nd driver took 20+ minutes and said there was tons of traffic getting out of the remote lot.

EY1 - that has been the case for me for several weeks. I now call both a lyft and an uber right when I touch down and see who gets there first

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo. We’re in our late 20s/early 30 and likely won’t need to touch the money for 10+ years. What should be our investment strategy? How should we allocate to what funds? Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
