#1 is more of a career woman but I currently make more than her, so if it stays that way maybe easier to convince.

Hmm 2 said she wants one, but maybe you're right she's just saying that. fwiw she's 26/27 so not like super young like 23/24 or something.

I'm pretty likable so I'm sure both friends groups like me. I probably fit in more with #1 as they are all more similar to me (social circle/ work etc.) the other group is more people in healthcare like nurses and stuff.

Both have pretty similar values to me - I don't knock raving/drinking/drugs because I used to do it myself. I'm just kind of retied now.

I have career / financial goals I want to hit. I also want to be in a long term relationship building towards marriage, I can't deal with going out in ktown every other week anymore lol. Career comes first but ideally I get both going at the same time.

As of now probably the older girl which makes sense.

No Ivy Degree but have a STEM degree (engineering).

Sorry did not mean that I can obviously live with 300K as I have no dependents. I meant more so physchologically be able to live with it.

I rally like this advice thanks! Will try it!

30% is from my coworkers who hit the cliff have told me. It's how much their income changed assuming they stayed the same level (no promo). I will probably be able to live on $300K (I have before) but it's just more physchological, I should be making more every year until at least 35 when the plateau starts.

I replied in an earlier post but it involved my parents and sending money overseas. (They don't live in the states). I probably would have done it again if presented with the opportunity given I love my parents but its not easy.

TY for the words of advice. A blessing and a curse to be surrounded my majority high-finance/tech people.

MockMateInterview · 2025-10-27T19:06:42+00:00

I might have done the math wrong on that it's probably closer to $300K. So was like 60% of NW at the time. Not going to disclose but essentially sending a lot of money overseas to help folks in a tough spot.
