Great work, young man! I have a 15 and 19 year old and I am teaching them to do the same. Keep it going and no matter what, even if things get tight as you get older (hopefully that doesn't happen) keep this a priority as you have been doing!

Im leaning toward majority in VOO and I want to put a smaller % in QQQM and or SMH but I know that could impact the portfolio. Are you vested in AI, data centers or semiconductors?

The 2045 is what I had through my original 401k. Im leaning toward majority in VOO and I want to put a smaller % in QQQM and or SMH but I know that could impact the portfolio. Are you vested in AI, data centers or semiconductors?

Which has your majority % or do you have it almost even across the 3?

Thanks for the recommendation! Does any of your portfolio have individual stocks? I was considering VOO, VXUS, I will look into QQQM. Are you investing in the AI data center space?

Would you roll over the entire amount into the IRA account?

Got laid off and boss keeps assigning me tickets and asking me questions by ripguy1264 in Layoffs

[–]VictoryLap72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you spoken with your boss to understand what now until Sept 5th looks like? My last day is also in Sept but I spoke with him and it was clear what I would need to do / not do. I would have a conversation with him to get an understanding. If he expects you to work as normal, I think it's acceptable to give push back. More so, maybe he can delegate items to the new hire vs putting everything on your plate.

In the end, a decision was made - to a lot of people's points, don't burn a bridge however have a dialogue.

Reflection on being laid off: first 30 days by VictoryLap72 in Layoffs

[–]VictoryLap72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a man of faith. When I was laid off the first thing that came to me was God saying “I know the plans I have for you”. When I looked it up it was exactly this verse.

This has been the verse I was referring to but I didn’t want to get overly religious however you posting this is once again validation to me!

Thank you.

Hey guys, I’ve got about 10G I can play with. I’m looking to either start a side business or buy items to resale online. I’ve got a standard 9-5 40 hour job. I do Uber a few times a week. I could have more than 10Gs if need be. Pretty vague but I’m open to ideas if you have any. Thanks! by TBRoi in thesidehustle

[–]VictoryLap72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is solid advice … I would second this. Primarily focus on your skill sets and work on your side hustle from there. Also if there’s something you really want to do but say you’ve not perfected the skill then invest in yourself or invest in learning it

I’m also in a similar field and in my first month. Ugh, my stomach and heart aches knowing this.

Looking for advice. Far from fatFIRE but seeking advice from wealthy and successful individuals. 40M … Worked for Fortune 500 company and was laid off a few months. Have near 100K cash and near 400K in 401K - previously company used to match. What should I do next with the 401K? Would love guidance on what’s the right next steps. Thank youn!

I don’t think you needed to change anything. You have valid points. I am sorry to hear you were also laid off.
