re: Going back to school? - lynxcat
Nursing is a random recommendation in this thread but it’s a pretty awesome profession. Work 3 12s a week and make like $70K+ a year. It’s not a bad gig at all….even if they are vocal about whatever hardships. 4 day weekends as a full time employee is a dream. ...

[quote]I think I would like to be in a consultant type role. Maybe M&A?[/quote] That’s going to be a difficult landing spot from an online state school. If that’s the desire then you absolutely need to major in Finance or Accounting and your grades should be excellent (3.8+). ...

I generally agree that accounting and finance curriculum is a better skill set that a lot of marketing or management ...

re: How much money do you keep in your checking account? - lynxcat
We keep ~$20K in joint account. CC bills of $8K or so a month. I like having enough cash available that I never have to worry about an autopay bouncing. I automatically scrape a fixed amount each week into taxable investment account to keep the checking account cash balance consistent over time. ...

re: Sad Day | Mint is shutting down on 1/1/2024 - lynxcat
Wish Net Worth would show shorter intervals on mobile. I liked how Mint would give 7 day or 30 day rolling changes. Otherwise, I’m enjoying Monarch. Does what I need it to do glad to have a solution before Mint goes away. ...

re: Sad Day | Mint is shutting down on 1/1/2024 - lynxcat
I don’t use that feature so can’t speak to it. It seems like a pretty commonly used one on the message boards. If I go to Costco, I just apply it all to groceries even if there are durables. ...

re: Another “can I retire comfortably” question - lynxcat
I think you just need to find a better job / colleagues. I genuinely enjoy spending time with my colleagues, my direct team, and my leadership. Does the work grind and stress become a bit much at times? Of course…but that’s why it is called work. ...

re: Any way I can get a new Tundra? - lynxcat
Most people don’t want to own a vehicle half that age. The tech, safety, and comfort features have greatly improved. For people that spend a lot of time in a vehicle, I can totally understand why they would want a newer vehicle. There is value outside of “it just gets you from A to B” even if th...
