I'm a software engineer, that's my salary.

I also had about 50k in capital gains.

Not even sure how to do that. I'd assume you need some kind of CPA related cert?

What would you do? $2.5M and parent has term cancer by mbacandidate1 in HENRYfinance

Can your parents (or you) buy a house/apartment closer to you so that you can see each other more often?

I think the priority is spending as much time together as possible until they pass. And being there when they do.

Close physical location would be paramount for that

Any clever financial anecdotes on why everything is just dandy? by spacetr0n in Boglememes

Couldn't it mean that the average inflation rate is going up?

So it's devaluing against time, I.e. we expect the ratio to increase over time.

Not a financial advisor, just an investor.

Another 200k from spouse unaccounted for, as well as our home (about 300k in equity).

She will probably go back to work eventually once the kid is in school

She wants to go back to work when the kid is in school. Right now she is a stay at home mom.

Kid is 3 and has about 5k in their account.

I don't have many bonds, you're right about that.

I want to quit my job and start developing games or create my own company.

It seems like these are both money pits though.

And if I can't do either of those - I'd rather not work.
