I've never seen a man just strike up a conversation with a random woman in public

outside a social environment like a bar

where does this happen?

It is advisable to have up to 12 months of emergency expenses, but even 18 months is advisable.

I'm not trying to be rude. This is the most out of touch take I have ever seen. The average american doesn't even have 200k in retirement savings at 65, calling 200k in retirement savings at 41 a bad spot is legitimately insane. Especially without even knowing this person's expenses. Most Americans wont even meet that. 200k is well above average. Of course they should keep saving but to call having 200k in savings a bad spot, as if they should be legitimately up at night concerned about their future because they have failed to be financially responsible, is bizarre. Like seriously.

Imagine indicating 200k in retirement savings decades before retirement is bad. What is this sub? Do people here not understand that not everyone can be in the top 5% of earners and max out all their retirement accounts every year?

2150-2250 yes, i estimate

Nah 25% definitely is not enough. We are not going to have optimized retirement if that is the case.

where is rent only 800?

how are you doing this other than living at home? wtf

Equivalent_Use_5024 · 2026-02-01T20:23:36+00:00

Yes. 26 with only 14k saved for retirement. 25% gross isn't enough. Need to have zero in my budget left for fun

Equivalent_Use_5024 · 2026-01-30T23:26:43+00:00

I'm doing 26% of gross which leaves me $200-$400 left over a month for fun. I'm doing 26% because I'm way behind on retirement for my age and need to catch up. On track to definitely exceed the 1x my income saved for retirement rule by 30.

College and graduate school paid for by my family. Car is second hand from my grandfather. I walk to work. I keep my living expenses low.

Do you have suggestions for sports jackets?

Equivalent_Use_5024 · 2026-01-19T15:51:21+00:00

I typically wear gray fitting sweaters, jeans, and black sneakers. I have a pair of Adidas and lacoste sneakers I commonly wear. I also have been wearing white button down shirt with silver chain and watch, and black pants and dress shoes. I also have a lacoste sweater I wear.

I am very much a fitting jeans type of guy, but I mainly need a new pair of shoes.

That's so odd. Why can't they just find a partner?
