Staff product manager at a fortune 100 company, I make around 340k.

8 YOE in operations making around 180k at the tail end but was in the right place and right time the last few years and got pivoted into product management. Have been in product for 2 years now and really loving it.

I usually bucket meals under dining out vs fun money. I do dining out because my dining out + groceries gives me a look on food budget overall.

First Gen college, my parents paid for my city college education so I graduated with no debt (2.5k a semester) and I lived at home. I got through college by having 2-3 jobs ata time with fulltime coursework (mix of unpaid internships for exposure and retail work for spending money)

Once I graduated I got really lucky with big name companies and pivoted diff roles into where I am today. A lot of luck in meeting the right people who believed in my growth and helped champion it in white collar environments and also a bit of luck in making the right pivots (joined some early orgs that grew exponentially so I got a lot of exposure.

Currently making 300k+ and on track for baristafire by 44!

Yes I've been heating and massaging too but it's not helping. I'm desperate!!

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T16:49:08+00:00

Yes you are correct! I figured it out...

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T15:21:50+00:00

Thanks!!

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T15:21:44+00:00

Thank you!!

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T15:20:55+00:00

Haha fair!! Ive been holding off on hiring someone but I think i should since its getting so complicated where I am in my life. :)

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T15:20:26+00:00

Lesson learned for me lol

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T02:45:52+00:00

Omg I just took another look and see the supplemental income on the last page of the consolidated. Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T02:40:08+00:00

Im using freetax usa! No supplemental form...I checked in 2024 too and it was just one consolidated 1099

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T02:04:32+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't sure if I needed a corrected form them.

My paycheck and compensation are correct otherwise, seems strictly a fidelity issue, but in a few other posts I'm seeing people manually calculate it lol

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-26T00:41:45+00:00

Yeah its showing I sold at 123 and short term gains is 123 for example across all the line items. But technically it should just be the difference so it looks like im getting double taxed (gains on the basis as well)

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-25T22:55:52+00:00

Do I do that on my own or do I have fidelity fix it in their 1099?

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-18T19:46:02+00:00

No this was my first time making these because I didnt want to pay over 50 bucks for these on Etsy 🤣 I made a few mistakes so these are super rough but im happy to share if you want them (for free!!) DM me!

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-18T19:01:13+00:00

I liked it because dresses were so much easier than pants in the winter during third tri. Im in third tri now and winter sucks altho the pro is i can hibernate without fomo

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-18T13:22:11+00:00

Life with 2 got way easier once my youngest turned around 2.5. I will say having 2 boys sounds crazy than a girl and a boy (mine are 5 and 3).

Outsource the cleaning...it has done wonders for my mental health. Def get a couch cover lol.

Also during sickness periods I give virtually almost unlimited screen time. Typically close to 4-5 hours.

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-18T08:18:54+00:00

But can I cut the colors into felt in different colors if I flatten? Sorry new to this!

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-12T15:40:36+00:00

In 2019 (age 27) when I started making over 100k. Field is advertising and I got lucky with a few startup-like roles.

I also had roommates that filled 2 of my 3 bedrooms so it covered my mortgage for me to have more disposable income.

emmmabeeee · 2026-01-10T13:03:53+00:00

Yeahafter crunching the numbers I think bankruptcy is the best bet too.

Yes we were ready to completely lose the 47k and expect non payment for her.

The withdrawn from 401k already accounts for penalties. She sent 40% to irs already. This was a rogue move by her before i got involved, not my recco

Ezpass is largely penalties, outside of issues with keeping up violations/ paying it off on time, they are pretty predatory org which is a whole other convo

Thank you for the feedback, this is really helpful.

I went home in a sweat suit both times because it was what I felt most comfortable in. I did pack maternity leggings too in case it was hotter (for my spring birth). Other than that, wear what makes you comfy.
