What's your favorite thing to do on your phone?

Just got my first promotion of my career and with it about a $15k salary increase. I want to put most, if not all to retirement. I already max my Roth IRA, 401k and HSA. Are there any other specific accounts or things I should be doing with this money or should I just put it all into a brokerage?

Anyone feel lost/sad that this is your life? Not to be dramatic, bc there are so many things to be grateful for in my life. But, I just feel like this job sucks the soul out of me. I work long hours, no end in sight, feels very thankless, and like I have no actual purpose.

Sometimes I just feel like, “how did I get here?” And I’m not sure how to get out. I’m just overall bummed out. Maybe it’s the “pandemic burnout”. I just feel like there has got to be more to life than working 60+ hr weeks.

Or similar experience with family?

I’m looking for a new job!!
