Money you plan to use in the next year or so should never be in the market. This was the perfect move.

Assuming you are in the US and the fact the president has waived loan balances off an on for over a year, I would take the money, put it in a HYSA and use it to pay the loan pmt each month.  

If you pay it off completely and it gets waived a few months later, you will disappointed. 

If you keep the $18k for payments and invest the rest, you will come out better in the long run.

I’ve never met anyone who tried to break from tech into recruiting/sales. And honestly? I don’t think it’ll be as hard as breaking into tech. Give it a try and see

12 years programming and all your bosses hated you?

If everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe it’s time to check your shoes

I was asked to develop a feature that automatically uploads photos from your phone and randomly displays them as background pictures on your Alexa device with a screen or Fire TV. I sat dumbfounded for 10 seconds before stating it's not a good idea to upload all photos from each family member and randomly displaying them on a public device because it will inevitably lead to something bad.

Luckily my manager was cool with me refusing to design or write the code for that. I did have to answer questions for the other team who wanted to make it.

Recently, I saw a gross picture of a wound I had to keep track of on my Fire TV idle screen. I'm pretty sure I never opted into that "feature".

Your manager and team will either make your experience great or awful. Be sure to interview them during the process. Most of my 5 years there were great, I left 2.5 years ago while the industry was still booming, so I don't know how things are there now.

If you can afford it, the best time to invest is when you’re young. You’ve got more time in your side than most of us so the dollars you invest now will be the most valuable ones of your life. 

If you can do it, I say you should. But also remember that you’re only 26 once and that you should make sure you can live your life as well. as with everything, it’s good to find a balance.

I had my pager gone off 67 times in a single week. 

This wasn't like, 10 alarms going off at once. No. It was 67 separate issues at random scattered throughout the week. 

Every single night I woke up to something different several times a night. That was the worst week of my time in Amazon. We average about 20-25 pages for reference.

genuine question, why do you need to build something in less than a week?? Just extend your time horizon to 2 years and get to work.

Probably a good call.  I mean, you *could* be leaving another 10%+ gain on the table but with the past two years stocks returning 20% each, I think it is a fair bet. 

I'd put the 50 in something with a 4-5% return like a HYSA or treasury (though latter rates are down) and earmark your capital gains tax.

I'd do it. 


Most of the risk in FI is in the first few years of pulling the trigger. If you can go 5 years as planned or better, then you're probably golden. 


It's not a guarantee, but nothing in life is.

I was part of a small 2 person support team.  They decided to make us the sole on call support for the entire org, which made us the sole responders for 43 different developer teams. Thanks to badly configured alarms we were getting multiple tier 2 alarms per minute. 


We both got PIPd because we couldn't keep up with the alarms. 

I'd contribute as much as you're comfortable with at your age.

My wife had hers set to like 80% one time. She had taken some time off after the baby and we were playing catchup to hit the IRS max for the year. Her employer's HR team actually reached out and asked us if that was a mistake because it basically meant her paycheck would be close to zero. 

Late in my career we saved roughly 70% of our combined household income. Both of us were very high earners (top 5% easily) and we lived on a comparatively tiny portion of it. It meant that we were able to sock away a LOT of cash in a very short period of time. Since we did that, I was able to retire early when COVID hit, which made dealing with the lockdowns a lot easier. My wife continued to work for another 4 years until she was laid off. She is currently working the last few weeks before her severance kicks in and then both of us will be fully retired. Having all of that extra cash saved up has made the layoffs almost stress-free (compared to her peers anyway).

You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.   

Upward momentum isn’t necessarily linear.  It’s not like it’s sudden or something.   You don’t want it?  You’re not required to do it.

Yes. I’ve decided I don’t even want to be a manager due to the stress they all exhibit. I just want to be proficient at my job, make enough money to be comfortable, and enjoy my free time. I don’t want to manage and be responsible for anyone.

are you going to sell it now and put it in $VOO?

If you decide to start your own business, such self doubts will be common. Just giving a heads up

I would do it, but I am less conservative than many here.  Maybe the side hustle will fall apart, but if you are willing to go back to work if that happens, then I say go for it.  Also, maybe the market will grow significantly in the next few years, and you’ll be able to lower your withdrawal rate, even without the side hustle income.  

If you have any stocks that are under water right now, sell them to offset your gain and reinvest the proceeds.

I think you’ll be fine. You most certainly would have been fine over the last 24 years given how the market has performed. The added income from the side hustle would be gravy.

Some really good tips here - thanks for posting

Pulled a similar move yesterday. Popped $10k+ into a Fidelity Software fund 4 years ago or so. Looking at numbers - it’s gained $400 lifetime, through covid and back again. Pulled the plug.

Thanks for this great share that's gonna be very helpful for us

Hello!

My former employer forgot to notify HR of my leaving. The next pay period I recieved a direct deposit from them. I reached out to my former supervisor and let them know. Said it would be taken care of and I'll be notified if they need anything. Two weeks later, didn't hear anything, received another deposit. I then notified my supervisor's supervisor. They apologized and said they'd get a hold of HR. 

Almost two weeks later, HR sent me an email and informed me they were just notified of my leaving. My total take home was about $3000, but they are requiring that I pay them back about $4500!  That's my total of both paychecks before SS, taxes, 401k, etc. 

They took blame for this, but that's not even remotely fair to have to pay back those taxes and everything!  So I have to be out $1500 because THEY screwed up?  Is that legal??  And of top of it all, those taxes will still be there and count against me at tax time!  Shouldn't then be required to petition the government for those funds back??

This is in Indiana if that makes a difference. Should I get a lawyer for this?  Is there anyone I can talk too?? 

Former employer forgot to stop paying me, now they want ME to pay back take home and taxes, SS, etc.

I want to first and foremost say that Software Engineering is a great career if it's the right fit for you. It can offer you a great salary, interesting work, remote work, and even great work life balance if you look for it.

That being said, I am done with Software Engineering after 10 years in the industry.

I've been programming since I was 10 years old, went to uni to get a CS degree, have worked for a decade since in a variety of companies such as start-ups, FAANG, big non-tech companies, etc.

Unfortunately, I've found that working as a software engineer is just something I absolutely despise. I get it, no one likes their job - but for me, I actively ***hate*** it.

I don't hate programming so much, I still plan on doing it in my free time.

I hate everything else.

Agile, endless meetings, non-technical people telling you what to do, the constant deadlines, the constant learning in your free time. Software engineering isn't straight-forward, when you get a task you may have an idea of what to do - but actually implementing it is simply unknowable, anything could happen, anything could delay a release, it's a huge pain the ass to expect writing software and new features to be deterministic with a step-by-step procedure because that's never how it works, and yet, that's exactly what management expects. You give a reasonable deadline and shit hits the fan, and suddenly the deadline needs to be pushed but non-technical people just don't seem to understand, and you get hounded for it. Agile itself just leads to micromanagement, it's so exhausting having to justify yourself everyday to a bunch of people. Just let me do the damn work. It's all resulted in me always thinking of work during weekends and my time off, always thinking about deadlines and solutions to problems.. even after 10 years I just never got used to it.

It's all extremely stressful and it's resulted in me not taking care of my health (both physical and mental).

On top of that, the interviews are getting ridiculous now. You need months of prep just for a small chance to break in - even non-tech companies are following suite and I've noticed more and more LeetCode everywhere. The companies keep adding more and more rounds, I think I've had an average of 4-5 rounds for each company I've applied at this year, it's just dumb.

And the icing on the cake? The field is super unstable. Seems like we have very high highs, and very low lows.

It's just not worth it for me personally. I came to that conclusion a few years ago but stuck with it as long as I could because I didn't want to have to go back to the drawing board. When you've spent 10 years doing something, it's a scary thought to think of leaving...

Thankfully I have a bunch of savings so I'm going to take a few months off to decompress and really dig deep and see what my next steps will be.

**I'm curious for those who have taken a similar path, have you found any tech jobs or tech-adjacent jobs that don't have any of the issues I highlighted above? Is my only hope to leave tech altogether?** 

Honestly, I'm done with Software Engineering. Are there any alternative paths in tech that don't have the same problems ?

Besides the fact that this was billed almost 4 years after the date of service and I no longer have this insurance…wasn’t there some kind of cap put on COVID tests because Dr’s were charging unethical amounts?

Extra info: 
Date of service: 3/10/2021
Date of insurance payment: 4/15/2021

In Texas

The amount it is saying I owe is about correct according to my old insurance (it’s still like $100 higher). I just feel like this should be illegal. 

Please help! This bill is completely unexpected.

If this is the wrong sub then please let me know. I saw something similar get posted and I’m not sure where else to post.

——————————————————————————
EDIT!!

Hello everyone!!! I hope this doesn’t get overlooked and I’m sorry for causing so much drama, I was just really blindsided by this. After what some redditors said about erroneous bills, I went to the providers website and it says to ignore any bills sent recently!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I have taken pictures and will either be ignoring it or calling them to confirm, haven’t decided yet.

Thank all of you so much!!! I learned a lot and I really appreciate all of your help and all of the information. 

I didn’t realize this would get so much traction and I’m embarrassed all of this went crazy over a seemingly erroneous bill. However, I do hope this post helps others as there is a lot of very useful information and I know when I was trying to find answers myself before posting there were a lot of questions about this particular topic that went unanswered. I hope this provides a well of information for anyone with issues in the future.

Thank you again!!!

Billed $1,500 for a COVID Test Almost 4 Years Later - Is this allowed? Is there anything I can do about it?

I just don't care anymore. My commute is nearing 1:40 one way, I show up at 10 on the dot when my other coworkers show up at 8 or 9. No one has really given me shit for it yet (been doing this for months). I hate this job and my team. Looking for a new job in the meantime. 

Who else shows up to work late everyday?

I just had to tell someone LMAO I'm gonna delete this but I can't believe it. If I include real estate and retirement savings I'm at 3.85 M.  750k in real estate (land for a new home and equity in townhome) 1.2 M in brokerage and 1.9 M in retirement. This stock market is insane. I'm slowly selling but anxious about LTCG.  



I can't tell my friends but my NW is 3.85 today

Never really hear about this, but anyone here regret retiring too early, and regret not making even more money while they had the chance? 

And maybe being a few years out, feel like they can’t get to that fat income level again?

Interested to hear if people wish they made even more millions before they fatfired for whatever reason. 

Maybe regrets on not getting to yacht level, or private jet level?

In hindsight, anyone regret not making even MORE money before retiring?

My uncle is asking if he can retire soon. He is 49 and spouse is 47. No children, house paid off ($500k) and no debt.

He has about $350k in brokerage and $400k roth and $550k in 401k. His expenses are about $55k a year. They don’t have any other income streams besides SS when they are of age. They are willing to work part time if needed, if the market takes a bad turn.

Can they do it? Or too risky? 

Is retirement possible? $1.3 million 

My business coach launched the EXACT program that I was talking to him about as my next project and he would be coaching me to launch. When I first told him about my plans he was very excited and supportive and kept asking me questions about it in the following weeks. I thought I could trust him with my intellectual property and liked to have someone to bounce my ideas at and to help me perfect my plans.
Imagine my surprise when less than a month after our last session I see a new launch on my coaches website, where he's launching MY idea!!! Down to the very last detail! 
Nothing I can do about it of course, but I will never share stuff like that with anyone anymore or hire a business coach ever again... 

My business coach took advantage of me trusting him with my plans.

45M married with no kids in VHCOL , live in a SFR 2500 sq feet - nice view but not a new house.

$7.3M - invested NW in stocks + retirement. (not counting residence)  
$3M - private stock at present prices - will go public in 2 years or so.  
Income $1.2M/year - both of us work jobs that we love but drive is starting to slow.

I can see how high end houses can really help with mental health, calmness and a sense of stability. also can act as an engine to create realtionships by throwing parties etc. We see friends buying $4M+ houses knowing that its probably 50% of their HHI.

I don't spend - honestly don't know how. I grew up in large houses so the allure of a big house isn't there. Simialr with cars - just not there. I can't even bring myself to spend on business/first class if its >$5k. We do travel a lot and don't really curtail ourselves with hotel and food and experiences.

Wife grew up poor and she wants a large house at least once. She says she wants to host oarties but I dislike parties. 

Am I missing out on not owning or at least owning-adn-then-selling a big remodeled house in a nice neighborhood?  The positive I see is that spending a lot forces you to make more money. Also houses do actually maek one feel lucky, and can create a sense of calm. Our present house is a mess most of the time. So much so we dont' really invite people over.

**Did a large new house in a great neighborhood make a large difference in your lives?** 

PS: Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

$10M+ NW - Shoudl I buy a large house at least once? - Am i Missing out?

Im a 24m retail manager. Im single, no debt, pay 1,000 rent, currently live in the midwest, and dont mind moving since I don’t have any family obligations. This past week I have discovered storage facility investing, and have watched a lot of YouTube videos about buying a storage facility. In a few months I will reach $100k, and want to use an sba loan to buy a million dollar facility. My question is what should I watch out for, and how do I find a good deal? Should I just contact sellers on loopnet, and is 100k enough to buy a good facility or should I keep on saving? 

I have $100,000 to buy a storage facility

I made a post in here the other day and I think I'm realizing...I don't want to climb the corporate ladder. The thought of it makes me extremely anxious. I have a bachelors in HR Management and 6 years experience at a logistics company as a customs agent.

I've been waking up every morning with awful anxiety trying to figure out what the hell to do for a career. I'm a 31F and everyone around me has careers 1 that they enjoy and 2 that they've been at for years. I feel so lost. I swear it's not because l'm lazy, but the thought of corporate world in office and climbing the ladder for the next 30+ years has me panicking.

I think my ideal job would be maybe a state/government job, I don't need a shit ton of money but $50-60k for now would be nice. But I feel like I don't even qualify for anything. I wish data entry/clerical work was still a thing and could still make money in it. I like being behind the scenes, I don't like having to present to hire ups it gives me panic. I know I need to "grow up" I'm working on my anxiety now by starting with a therapist and maybe getting on anti anxiety meds. As well as I'm looking into finding a career coach to maybe help me figure this mess out.

I just feel like a lost loser and I absolutely hate it. My partners mom did clerical work or maybe she was an executive assistant for someone in town hall at the town she lives in. But I can't find anything like that nor do l qualify with my experience. I truly don't know what to do. I can't seem to find anything that interests me enough to fall into the corporate office again. Anyone else relate and end up finding something they enjoy or could at least deal with? 

Anyone else hate the thought of climbing the corporate ladder? 

I'm thinking about interviewing and I need to be dissuaded.

Looking to hear anything about irrational management, engineering freakouts, weird interviews, delusional ideas/approaches, unreasonable/unrealistic asks, etc.

Amazonians: hit me with your best/worst horror stories

I’ve been a programmer for 12 years and have gotten burned out by every job I’ve had within 1-2 years, where I’ll quit and try something different. Either all of my bosses hate me or they can see that I’m just not passionate about it. 

I always liked people though, and while I’ve never had formal experience in sales other than going door to door selling candy as a teenager, I think it would be something that I love. Even at Google I spent my free time hanging out with the recruiters rather than programmers because they were more my scene.

Will it be hard for someone like me to get into software sales in this economy, or even an unrelated field like car sales? What about recruiting? Have any of you made the jump before?

Former Google Engineer - will it be hard to break into sales or recruiting?


I have about $170k in stocks and just sold about $50k worth (long term gains) as I’m looking to buy a home sometime next year. I decided to sell now as the market has been at its highs and didn’t want to gamble and wait til next year as who knows what the market will do. This $50k will definitely speed up my saving process and felt the need to do it

Did I make a mistake by doing this trying to save up for downpayment on a home?

EDIT** I just logged into student loans and see total loan debt is actually 15k

Do I use all of the money to pay off my student loans, or do something else with it? What would that something be? 

It doesn’t seem like my loans will be forgiven at this point

I also just had emergency surgery which will cost $2,400 after insurance. 

Appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance 

I am receiving an 18k gift from a family member. I have 21k in student loan debt

Hi all- we just hit $100K in ARR and I wanted to share some lessons and strategies we used to help fellow Redditors. I know this might sound a little counter intuitive and aggressive but this is my own lessons from failing miserable for the last 5 years till we found product market fit.

1. **Markets Always Win:** Always pick a market where there are lot of potential buyers badly needing a solution. If you have spent a whole week on trying to sell your product and nobody has paid you yet, it's probably a bad market. Pivot.
2. **Find your first 100 customers manually:** You should ideally find your first 100 customers manually and not use scalable tools like Ads etc. I suggest using strategies like DMing potential customers directly etc. Be creative here since each startup usually use a very unique way of getting their first 100 customers
3. **Define your ICP:** Once you have acquired 100 customers, clearly understand who your best customers are define them with high precision so that you can find similar ones at scale. An example would be "CTOs of SAAS companies with 50-100 employees based in United States with a degree in computer science or math"
4. **Find a growth level after 100 customers**: Now once you get to 100 customers & know your ICP, it's extremely important to find a growth level. That is, a marketing strategy that works at scale. This can be google ads, cold emails etc. All these can be automated. If you are not able to find a growth lever that scales at this point, it's problematic cause you might get stuck as a small business. This might be a market problem and is worth pondering if you wanna take a step back.
5. **Invest in SEO early:** SEO is not just about finding new customers. It's also for existing leads & brand recognition. If someone hears about your company X and searches X on Google, if the results are not filled with links to your website, you lose the lead. As simple as that. We named our company quite unique so that at least the first result was our own domain. Then we used AI tools like Wosily to automatically write blogs weekly so that all the 10 results on the page was pointing to our website.
6. **Track retention closely:** Lastly but not least, ensure your paying customers are retaining. If more than 10% of your paying customers cancel after 1st month, ensure your ICP is correct. If ICP is canceling at >10% rate, either the ICP is wrong or your product is not solving the problem or the worst one is, the problem is not real.

And that's about it. Hope this helps. LMK what you all think in the comments below or if you have similar lessons :)

6 Lessons from Finding Product Marketing Fit after 5 years of Failures

I'm a senior developer. For the last two years, I've been starting projects, working on them for a few months, and then for one reason or another, they never see the light of day.

I work for a major multinational company, leading an AI project that's promising, but honestly, I feel empty working for someone else.

I want to start a side hustle, something that I can launch quickly, iterate on, and see results. But right now, it feels impossible to put something out there in less than a week that people actually care about in a genuine way, not just because of hype.

I know the block is inside me, but I feel like a failure and that I'll never have the life I dream of. A nice house, my dream car... Maybe I'm just another victim of the social media hype from the past few years, but I wanted to share my feelings in case anyone else is feeling the same way, and maybe we can support each other.

I'm done with entrepreneurship...

I'm currently 26 with a net worth over $100K. Here are my numbers

401K: $34K

Roth IRA: $27K

HYSA: $50K

My Roth IRA is already maxed for the year. I make $26 an hour and I just bumped my 401K contributions up to 10% (previously only had it at 6%). However, since I have way too much cash I want to make up for it by going full throttle on my 401K. My rent is only $975 a month and my living expenses aren't a lot so I essentially can just live on my cash for a while even if I bumped my 401K up to 50%. I get a 3% match from my employer. The only reason why I wasn't putting more into my 401K previously was because I wanted more cash in hand for fun things and maybe a down payment for a house, but I don't even care anymore. I want to retire ASAP and get out of the workforce so I can start living life. Thoughts?

Would bumping my 401K contributions up to 50% be excessive?

Context: I opened up an individual brokerage account in 2021 to put excess funds into and decided to go high risk. Dropped a huge chuck on growth stocks at the literal height of the tech bubble. At the lowest point I was down 50% and 50k. All I did was buy and hold stocks. The timing was terrible. Never sold anything. Today I’m in the green…. for now…. Just wanted to celebrate. I could be a lot richer had I just put it all in VOO but at least my heart is hardened against future downturns. 

Individual tech heavy brokerage account opened in 2021 is finally green. 

Would you pull the trigger on this?

I have a side hustle that while is not consistent, earns me 33%, 66%, 100%, and sometimes even more of my annual spend.

Moving forward I estimate 33% will be the average over the next 5-10 years (then likely dropping to 0%).

I have enough saved in investments and cash to FIRE if I withdrawal at 5%.

I'm thinking of calling it quits from my full-time position and rolling the dice on 5% and my side-hustle as backup.

My side-hustle does bring the SWR down closer to 3%, but the side-hustle is not forever or a given. Again, it is likely a 5-10 year window on it. 

Even at 5%, only around 20% of portfolio's fail, it's not a given it would fail. It would be clear within a few years if it will fail or not.

I'm not opposed to returning to work, but would try to bring the side-hustle up to 100% spend before doing that.

FIRE at 5%?

How Presidential Policies Affect Prices: Tariffs, Price Control, Immigration and More

In recent years, we've seen the emergence of cities whose main industry is that they're a great place to live if you're rich. Dubai would be the ultimate example of this dynamic. But it's not just Dubai. Lots of cities, all around the world, exist to cater to the wealthy, with a set of laws and taxation schemes that act like a magnet for global wealth. So how do these cities work? How big are they? And what exactly do they offer the global rich? On this episode of the podcast, we speak with Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, author of The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks The World.
