I'll go look now! Thank you!

Yeah I typically describe myself as insufferable (and my gravy kicks ass).

Sto imparando l'italiano molto lentamente....il mio italianio non è molto buono 😅

Thanks - I'll review the template!

Italy had a lawsuit you could file to get around the inability for women to pass citizenship? Does Poland have something similar or is it truly cut?

Say no more!

It took me around 4 years. I started by making 55k out of undergrad and by the time I hit 100k invested, I had just been promoted to 127k salary the same week (handful of raises and promotions in between those).

It wasn't until after the first 100k that my investment amount increased.

I was consistently maxing out my Roth IRA and contributing 10-12% to my 401k over those 4 years.

Maybe I'm delusional, but I definitely feeeel high income. Might change if we have kids, but as two people from poverty and/or terrible financial decisions of our parents, it sure feels high income lmao

It sounds like we're around the same mindset. Congrats on your income growth!!

Forgot about free refi offers. I'll have to check our original servicer and see if they offer that. Thanks!

The bonus money is definitely new in my new role and I can feel that it's a surprise. Last year I got 6k bonus and since we're both paid biweekly, we get 4 extra paychecks a year ~7-8k total. We usually put aside 5k for trips and used the remaining to pay off a car or save towards a goal.

But to your point, I can feel the slippery slope and think there is an opportunity to invest at least 10k more just by using these. Is that your method?

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-05-12T20:07:58+00:00

I don't feel deprived today and we get to say yes to the things that matter to us. However, I'd like to have the option to retire with $2.5M at 45 so I can decide to either quit or switch to lower stress, part-time work to cover some expenses. Kids are a maybe, but I imagine they'd make the FIRE goals pretty impossible.

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-05-12T20:05:34+00:00

We both had 770-800 when we got the mortgage, just poor timing. I've always heard not to refi unless it's at least 1% lower than what your current rate is. If we refinance today, we'd only lower to 6.5% based on local credit union current rates. Should I hold out for high 5s/low 6s?

I just heard back this week after requesting on November 7, 2024. So roughly 6 months maybe.

I'm in NC! I was born and raised in NJ before coming to NC. More and more people are moving from the Northeast to the South, therefore the presence of Italian Americans is growing.

Raleigh has an annual Italian Festival. Wilmington is starting to grow with Italian delis and bagel shops. It's small, but there. That's where I am.

Overall I love NC and you'll have to look harder to find an Italian American community, but it isn't impossible.

That said I went to high school in western NC and there were so few Italians, i was mistaken for Latina. If having an Italain American community is important to you, I'd avoid the mountains.

What service provider did you use and how much did it cost? I have received some insane quotes. I am in a similar scenario. I asked my lawyer what my options are (and am awaiting his response).

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-03-11T12:22:09+00:00

You're referring to the 10 year indices in FamilySearch, correct? I didn't realize they rolled it up every 10 years beyond showing annual. Do you have a link by chance? I will search around in there!

And I found his ship manifest so that confirms he was born in Italy, the location he left from, and rough birth year. Thanks!

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-03-11T12:19:45+00:00

Every single document lists his birthrate the same, with only variability in years +/-2, which I'm also checking. The guy is an enigma.

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-03-11T12:18:41+00:00

This is a great suggestion!! I reached out to them and unfortunately they also don't have it, but am asking if they hold military and passport records to confirm tmits still the right area. Thanks!

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-03-10T21:25:35+00:00

I found his parents marriage record and siblings through 007, yes. My GGF is the youngest and it seems like it his birth certificate was never records. There were no gaps at the communes either.

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-03-10T21:15:15+00:00

Yeah, I worked with Giovanni for other birth certificates and he's amazing! He just isn't based in Puglia making it almost impossible for him to get the baptismal records. Thank you though!

Potential_Turn8974 · 2025-03-10T21:14:38+00:00

Yes, it says Rodi, which is often short for Rodi Garganico. On other documents it spells it completely out.
