what do you mean? You don't like paying $3000 to live in a cupboard?

Yeahh I love New York but I couldn't justify living there, so I'm happy enough taking a trip there when I get the chance to see my friends and hit up my favorite spots

Well, everyone and their mother wants to live in NY and there's only so much space to go around so this is kind of just what happens

Probably, if money is an issue for you it's hard to justify living in NYC. it's not going to get any cheaper I can tell you that much

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Is the GSU price while vesting based on the market rate at the time of vesting or is it fixed based on the stock price during hire date/month?

I broke through the wall in 2020 and feel like I blinked and it is 2022. I have been saving something close to 75% of my take home and dumping into ETFs. I feel like I want to branch out into real-estate but never lived anywhere more that 3 years. What would you do? I have cash to put a large down payment to avoid the high rates but am scared I have no roots and will move in another few years.

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married. They already live together in an apartment but both want to move to a house to build equity and have a yard, not share walls, etc. Should one partner buy the house and the other pays rent until they get married, or should they get a mortgage together without being married? I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
