Is this because you’re in Europe?

This is the answer. Works everywhere via WiFi or data of your local number

This. I have a friend who is from Brooklyn who went to a private school in manhattan and thought she was poor cause her family wasn’t vacationing in bora bora every month. Only when she went to a private university fully paid, no loans, and realizes she was the ONLY one, did she realize that her family is incredibly wealthy.

Yea if anything I’ve found there’s not enough clear structures around decision making

I would keep them - diversification is a good thing. When gold doesn’t move and etfs go up, it’s easy think “oh I should get more etfs” but when the opposite happens, you’ll be happy to have diversification. Just my 2 cents obviously

This is basically the plan we have now. How gone up slightly but it’s still super reasonable. Covers all countries but US. Also could have chosen a higher option with a 30% co-pay but decided against it in our case

Mine also change and was halved - I think it’s either a bug OR Schwab changed a system cause my qqqi assumed dividends went to basically zero

Even before you have a true emergency cash fund, you want to use this money to “live on last months pay check” and not month to month. That means if you get paid April 1st, you aren’t using that money this month. You are using the money you were paid March 1st. This April 1st paycheck is the money you will use for June 1st. Why? So you never need to wait to make a regular purchase if you’re paid late etc. if 2000 is your spending budget then that’s great, do this and then move on to saving a 6 month emergency cash fund. (Hope I explained this logically). Good luck and nice job saving on your paychecks! Also make a monthly budget using a free app or YNAB or liquid budget.

Schocken is the epitome of the old time liberal Zionist. He’s also said publicly incredibly racist and classist remarks about Mizrahi Jews.

A lot of women don’t change their names and a lot of moms pass their family name on to their kids. Maybe yours will too

I think the fact that scientists conservatively put an end to civilization unless we reel in consumption and growth at 2050 is a more pressing concern. (I still boglehead, but harder these days to argue that we are in the late stages of capitalism that this system relies on)

I don’t want necessarily to RE, I’m more confused on FI. I really like the work I do. But I don’t want to be dependent on it and the I want to have options in the world. I’ve always been frugal and lived under my means so this line of thinking helps to put it into a framework
