    Financial anxiety is real. Convince me to spend my bonus

    @kimmyfs You don't have to spend your bonus right away if you don't have anything in mind. Maybe save or invest the money so that if you ever come across something you like in the future, you can splurge on it. I'm happy to hear that you're seeing a therapist. It's def not healthy to have...

    10k monthly house for 4+ years. No savings. Safe ba or no?

    @karinag Grab it na but also be careful. Knowing malapit sa Villar baka mamaya sumakit ulo mo kasi tatamaan siya ng expansion. 🥲 Baka lang naman. We have 1 lot near dyan na nagkanda letse letse dahil tatamaan daw ng project. I swear it’s a nightmare.

    An Evaluation of TSLA; What Value can it Realistically Reach this Decade?

    How does the TSP grow exactly?

    @clanks 100k after 8 years at 20% of your base pay sounds about right. the whole idea of compound interest is it takes time 8 years isn't that much time but by the time you hit retirement it will have grown many times over. at 10% interest per year which is the average for the s&p 500 your money...

    Stupid Q: should I buy n EV?

    @teodor995 Where do you live? If you live in Perth, Brisbane or Adelaide in a house that you own, with a garage, that you could put a solar panel on to charge the car I would say yes do it. If you rent in Sydney or Melbourne I would say definitely don't do it - yet. I own a Tesla and the...
