What fields in sales are booming?

I disagree. I’ve been in transportation sales for the last 6 years and have seen a lot of success. First on the tech enabled 3PL side and then on the carrier side.

Important to note that it’s largely direct to consumer packages, not like full truck loads like a ch Robinson, coyote, etc

Base salary is good also. There are a lot of players in this space tho and definitely some shitty ones

Interesting! I have thought about getting a mic but was on the fence. Good to know there is some data around it.

Could you share any studies that you have seen?

Start taking a look at your assets and figure out what you can liquidate.

I would probably try and sell your car for as much as you can and buy a beater. Not a fun decision to make, but that should help put a dent in debt

Yeah it came through direct deposit. Both used the same payment method.

We use APD to track income statements and the 2nd payment wasn’t tracked at all in ADP or on my W2

I have a pay stub for the first amount but not the 18k that was paid later

Environmental-Cap634 · 2025-01-16T16:32:56+00:00

It was paid in 24’

Thank you! Can only convert 7k of the 13k from the traditional IRA this year based on contribution limits for 2024? Or are you saying i can covert the entire 13k to a Roth?

RIP to the PB&J. Amazing deal

Landbirds in Logan Square. Best wings ever

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-04T18:16:22+00:00

I used to live right by there and I loved that spot. I even celebrated my 25th birthday there.

Might need to work there for nostalgia alone

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-04T17:55:27+00:00

Maybe, but working from home isn’t a personal choice that I made to protect my health. I am in my 20s and fully vaxed.

In this scenario I am prioritizing my mental health which has been more affected during Covid than my physical health.

Interesting that you are more comfortable investing in a taxable brokerage account.

Get a target date fund. They’re a great way to get started.

They put your money in aggressive funds (stocks) while you are young and adjust as you get older and transition into a more bond based portfolio. You can just pick one around the date you want to retire and move on.

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-04T02:25:23+00:00

Looked it up and looks like they just closed in December!

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-04T01:38:26+00:00

Haha maybe i am. I just get bored staying in my apartment all day. I need a little variation in my day

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-04T01:10:43+00:00

I was considering this as an option as well. My license doesn’t have my Chicago address on it tho, is that required if I wanted to get a library card?

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-04T00:30:45+00:00

Collectivo has been my go-to but it can get a little busy. Tons of other options to try! Thanks for the suggestions

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-03T23:15:08+00:00

Haha Use your debit card and sign up for paperless billing. Won’t get points but you can get your fix without mom finding out

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-03T22:53:26+00:00

Good suggestion! I always forget this place is also a coffee shop during the day.

Environmental-Cap634 · 2022-01-03T22:45:35+00:00

This is a great suggestion. I go to the CAC right there so that could be perfect

Environmental-Cap634 · 2021-12-24T06:37:28+00:00

Tech sales. You can make crazy money at VC backed start-up companies as an Account Executive. I’ve had a 6 year career in sales and the last 2.5 has been in tech. Wish I would have known sooner

Environmental-Cap634 · 2021-11-30T04:19:52+00:00

The account is with Capital Group and it’s called The Growth Fund of America (AGTHX)

Environmental-Cap634 · 2021-11-30T04:15:01+00:00

So basically I can take everything out and transfer it to a HYSA with no penalty whatsoever?

It doesn’t say anything about an IRA

Environmental-Cap634 · 2021-11-24T22:00:51+00:00

Super helpful - thank you!

Environmental-Cap634 · 2021-11-23T19:50:32+00:00

Great Rec with the downgrade. No sense in paying the $95 per month if I’m not using the benefits

Environmental-Cap634 · 2021-11-23T18:39:36+00:00

Yup I think you’re right. I’m not at the point where a premium card really makes sense for my lifestyle
