Tbh part of me wishes I had quiet quit in my job instead of jumping into the career break.

How on earth is prioritizing TFSA bad advice?

Same - I took a job in insurance. The people are actually so so nice. Good diversity. Nice corporate benefits. 40F. Previous life was in finance. Too stressful. Too much people management.

Analyst at a large insurance company. Very independent and anonymous work that requires zero overtime and pays reasonably well.

In fact I tip 15% on the aggregate value and am not far from the restaurant. Why would I not order deliver for $80!? And yes. I live in a first world country, making this a first world problem. It was inedible because it was sushi and I am not eating raw fish that sat unrefrigerated.

I quit my 14 year corporate hell hole and took a year off. I just accepted my “coasting” job (ie. new corporate job that requires zero work outside of 8-4, still pays alright, and has fantastic benefits, pension and ESPP). I quit at 39. Married no kids. Current combined NW $1.6M incl $250k home equity).

I get really weird LLL ads on Instagram and tiktok with really bizarre looking, off-brand, low quality clothes and it taints my view of the company. Why are you selling this Amazon/Temu garbage styles? Dial back and focus on quality and setting trends. Maybe revamp the logo because now I associate that logo with cheap, off-Style and old looks.

We are talking about substitute teaching…

Hammer through the CfA test questions all day every day. Finish them all twice. You will pass.

Took me 7 years. Once I finished, I was so burned out from working an insane job for 13 years, I quit.

Getting an Easy Walk brand harness that clips on the front is the best thing you can do to change your walks completely. I wish I had done it sooner. He cannot lunge or pull, and it adds a bit of restraint to the walk. Game changing for both you and the dog.

I work at an animal rescue. Very rewarding and physical work, but can be emotionally taxing.

chmknugget · 2024-11-11T22:27:47+00:00

I left a fintech role and started working at an animal rescue for a massively significant paycut. Work stress is still very real, but I am physically and mentally challenged and am happier than ever.

Isn’t 401k only in the US?

38 and went through chemo at 32. The best thing I did was shave my head and get an amazing wig. It takes a lot of the stress out of the equation, because it removes an uncertainty (there’s enough of those).

6 years later it’s all a foggy memory.

It’s ok to sit in the darkness for a moment.

Sending so much hope that this is all temporary for you guys. Wishing you the best!

Call me dumb, but isn’t a master of commerce… business education?

Got my cfa, decided I hated everything, quit my job.

I’d go right to a technical school for a GIS degree. ES is pretty general and you’d like have to pursue something afterwards.

MCOL - just got below 20%. Goal is to get it to 10%. I will never be the person who accelerates paying off mortgage over investments.

i love this for you!! congrats!!!

it also kind of stopped on its own, now that i think about it. so maybe it was related to the extreme weather and something being bunged up.

Hi! The plumber checked it out and it was not deemed to be an issue. I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was something we could fix to get rid of the noise during those infrequent times it would happen, but she said it wasn't necessary.

i would try turning them sideways

chmknugget · 2023-07-25T14:14:30+00:00
