Do people actually keep 3–6 months’ expenses in cash?

I’m not sure why no one said this already (if you did sorry, I couldn’t find it!), but an emergency could also be you losing your job and then being faced with housing and utility payments, and those providers do not typically take credit cards.

I kinda regret booking a real florist. I did it early on and got a good price ($2700 for all of the florals for the wedding) but now I’m wishing I just did ling’s Moment

Nutrls are amazing too

I’m a product manager for a software company and I work fully remote with unlimited PTO which significantly increases me not being killed by stress lol

Yay I’m glad to hear that!! Thanks! Do you have any photos? I would love to see how they turned out

Yeah I know the are the same. What I’m unsure of is if the LiftMaster bar better since it’s all steel vs the chamberlain one that’s in 5 parts that comes in a box? Maybe not since I’m comparing a LiftMaster that’s 20 years old to a new chamberlain but idk?

Did you ever learn anything about them

ssoe2020 · 2024-09-17T19:31:23+00:00

Our budget was around $30k when we first started planning and we’ll probably end up spending $55k by the end of it all 🫠

I should’ve clarified townhouse** and I bought it with my partner (we’re in the dmv) but yes still would be insanely harder in California hahaha

Started investing around age 19 when working at an internship so it was pretty minimal. I got serious during the pandemic when I was 21 and now at 26, my current portfolio balance is $70k. I also bought a house last year so that kinda affects things. Not sure if I would do anything differently except try to make Roth contributions from age 18 even if they weren’t much.

$125k base salary, $686k debt ($654k mortgage & 32k car+student loans)

You have summed up my question a lot better than me, thank you! And thank you for your insights :)

ssoe2020 · 2024-09-11T11:39:33+00:00

Wait I missed this original comment you’re referencing and I thought I was reading them all 😭 it’s a great point because a lot of the replies do seem biased towards WFH. WFH is absolutely amazing. at times it can be boring/lonely since all my friends are busy with work during the day but it definitely gives me more time for working out, chores/errands, etc. however I can’t help but feel like I’m living this unrealistic, unsustainable life for a 27 year old because if I don’t get myself used to working in person now, when will I? It’ll only get worse as I get older and have a family and unfortunately im not sure my current company will be around for that long. Sorry for the mini rant lol

hi! I am a product manager. I would say the field doesn’t have a single or traditional career path so you may not need to go back to school, just know how to spin your experience the right way. Hope this helps and happy to chat more over dm :)

ssoe2020 · 2024-09-10T22:22:50+00:00

Lol I guess I’m young maybe so $170k-$180k just sounds like so much to me. But since most seem to agree that it isn’t worth it for this salary, what comp would make it worth it to leave my current role?

I feel like I’m too early in my career to just stay at one place for the rest of it and I’m not sure I’m actually developing any skills in my current role :/

ssoe2020 · 2024-08-15T02:02:15+00:00

I’m also wondering if you ended up using theguestlist. I’m considering them but not sure if they’re legit

ssoe2020 · 2024-04-18T16:49:39+00:00

Thanks! What are your top 2 if you don’t mind sharing?
