NYC - 6% into my 401k, and try to save 20% of my take-home pay each month. I move it over to savings so I'm not looking at it in my checking account. Would like to eventually not technically live paycheck to paycheck and own something one day so I make it a priority.

10% pre-tax to 401k and like 3% to liquid savings... I'm not doing enough if I want to buy a home someday. I'm also paying my boyfriend's rent tho so once that's fixed I'll be able to save 10% to 401k and 10% to liquid savings, maybe more

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
