I spend a lot on moments. Champions league games for Bayern Munich, Nhl all star game, Stanley cup tix. Transferred some to Alaska air for killer 1st class redemptions on Emirates. Have prob earned close to 1m lifetime in 6 years.

I don't get it EY2. Do you ever take a vacation?

I have no need to travel for vacations. Do it too much for work. I usually go camping or hunting on vacations and you don't have big hotels in the country.

I’m saving up for a first home (3-5 yrs out, 30k saved) and looking for insights on safe amount to spend. HHI 300k (very recently doubled), 30k student debt, children in next few years, 29yo.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
