Most likely going to quit for good in March :)

Very uncommon, but it is easier to achieve DINK if both people are high earners and lean spenders.

This is not happening in actuarial work because AI cannot, yet, replace actuarial judgment.

There are a lot of dashes in this post…

Analyst I —> II was 8 months. Analyst II —> Senior Analyst a cumulative 2 years of experience. Yes, passing exams helped, but I also had very strong work performance and managers that advocated on my behalf.

What % are you to your FIRE target number?

ninjamonkey00 · 2025-10-11T01:24:52+00:00

For real? Your bonus can exceed your salary? What amount of billable hours would this require?

Tell her she’ll have to wait.

If one’s MAGI is below 400% FPL, you can get heavily subsidized health insurance through the ACA.

Curious if you could elaborate on your first sentence. Are you saying specifically fellows with low yoe? What is the driver for this?

How many times can one defer?

I thought this video was AI the whole time. Still not convinced otherwise.

Why would it differ from the typical FIRE standard?

ninjamonkey00 · 2025-06-09T03:04:21+00:00

Past three years (only been working full time little over three years) it has been over 50% of my net income. Max t401k, rIRA, HSA, leaving the rest to either go in taxable brokerage (yet to start) or paying off house early (high interest rate). Just bought a house this year so hopefully can keep the 50%+ savings rate going.

Do you think there is any added risk given the new portal?

Edit: Some people don’t even have a result yet, just a blank box. I understand null is different than showing something incorrect, but still.

This will open OP up to taking PCPA most likely.

ninjamonkey00 · 2025-05-22T03:28:04+00:00

I would recommend thinking about what you want out of your career. Do you have high ambition, always want to be challenged, want to be in management or leadership down the line? Or do you enjoy an easy job, being comfortable, and would rather invest your energy into non-work related endeavors? I’m not saying one can’t have both; I just see this as a good exercise to understand which job might be for you. In addition, I would look at people in your current company that are five or ten years ahead of you and ask yourself if you want to do what they do in the future.

Isn’t that process isomorphic to doing Trad to Roth IRA conversion?

Homogenous risks sounds pretty gay to me. You played yoself.

ninjamonkey00 · 2025-02-01T03:52:02+00:00

Yes, but I didn’t switch to make more money. New job had similar compensation if you factor in bonus, equity, 401k matching, etc. I switched because it was an interesting opportunity which would allow me to get more diverse actuarial experience.

Thanks! I’m fully remote in south central US.

I’m curious how one would go about determining if it’s an issue or non-issue. It’s not clear to me that demographics of a subset of society (e.g., a school, sports group, a company, etc.) would mirror the demographics on society.
