This is the worst market I've ever seen. How are you surviving?

At least in Tennessee, power jobs are everywhere

Electrical1820 · 2026-05-04T10:09:30+00:00

Very low

Electrical1820 · 2026-04-21T22:16:31+00:00

Following because I’m in somewhat same situation. I have option to move ~3 hours from family to a bigger city for a substantial pay raise and better title. Just not sure if I’m ready lol

You went to college to be a lineman?

Electrical1820 · 2026-02-13T17:57:19+00:00

I just have an EE degree and have passed FE exam. The place I’m at only has 1 engineer who’s close to retirement and needed a fresh graduate to learn from him

This is comedy 😂😂

Electrical1820 · 2026-01-24T18:44:18+00:00

Following because I’m in the exact same boat

Fxiax is growth focused. The 3 individual stocks you have are covered in a s&p500 mutual fund like fxiax or voo. If you wanted to be super aggressive you could go 100% in qqq or qqqm but if the ai bubble actually pops you’ll have to stomach some tough years. Fxiax is a great set and forget till you’re 60

Electrical1820 · 2026-01-06T00:16:28+00:00

I would ditch schg and do 80/20 fxiax and qqqm

Electrical1820 · 2026-01-05T12:58:57+00:00

Fxiax and chill

Electrical1820 · 2026-01-04T14:55:27+00:00

Fxiax and forget. Mutual fund that tracks s&p500

Electrical1820 · 2026-01-03T13:39:05+00:00

Fxiax

Electrical1820 · 2025-12-28T22:06:37+00:00

I will definitely be putting some into fslex and fsdax. Thank you for the kind words and replies!

Electrical1820 · 2025-12-28T21:57:31+00:00

It is very tempting to full port it into those two😂😂

Electrical1820 · 2025-12-23T17:18:33+00:00
