Wise

If you make 70k and your wife/husband makes 90k (pre tax), and you split all the bills/expenses evenly, but when it comes to rent/mortgage you want to split it based upon income %, would you do it or do you still keep everything 50/50? If split 50/50 then after all the expenses both people have, the one making 70k only has a few hundred dollars a month for spending money. If split % wise, then both partners have decent amount of spending money. Would like to hear everyone’s opinions, thanks!

Does anyone else feel like law school and having a career have doomed you relationship wise? I’m in my late 20s and spent my mid 20s moving to different cities for my career. Now that I feel more settled in my career and life I feel like I turned around and realized I was the only single one left. And the dating options are horrid. I was never someone that worried about whether I’d find the right person, I figure it would fall into place, but I’m not so sure anymore.

Does anyone feel very behind in life career wise and that they’re not actually an adult? Whitney Herd, CEO of bumble is 31. I’m the same age. She just made history as the youngest CEO female to take a company public. How does one become so successful and entrepreneurial at that age? I feel so lost in my career and unhappy, and that I don’t know what I’m doing. Does anyone feel this way?

I'm leaving NYC in about 6 months it feels between politics and COVID it's gotten pretty toxic the culture is very anti police and it feels everything that I loved about nyc is gone. I think job wise things are going to be remote for a while. I'm buying a massive 6 bedroom house down south and going to live my life.

Help! I’m hiring, and it’s down to 2 candidates. One is not as qualified, would require a lot of training, a great fit culturally and brings diversity to the agency. The other is more qualified, still a great fit culturally and wouldn’t require as much training, they were more prepared and I could put them in front of the client tomorrow, but they are non-BIPOC. Both are in the same range salary wise, and my team is SUPER small. Both are great fits, and I am torn. Advice? Please?

Anyone else browse Linkedin to check on old classmates / enemies to see if you’re doing better career wise? It riles and fuels me up like nothing else. I love competition.

Moms, how did you decide when and that you wanted to have a child. I’m 27 and not sure if I want to have a child but also don’t want to wait till later and then run into problems getting pregnant. 😞 I’m admittedly pretty self centered and don’t know if I can be selfless towards my child. Also career wise, is it better to have a child early and then be able to focus when you’re ar higher positions? Financially, how much money should we have saved before we have a child? We have about 100k.

I’m turning 30 next month and it’s kind of hitting me. I’ve been reflecting on my post college years and feel like I wasted my 20s by focusing on work vs living life. I’ve lost most of my friends in the process, have never had a serious girlfriend, am chronically stressed/just hanging on and am not happy. I’m career/money motivated but really I’m not even doing well money wise despite making manager faster than normal,a job I don’t even like. Any advice on how to make my 30s better than my 20s?

Is exiting in <8 months a good idea? For context: I received an offer for Google APMM (exp hire), currently in final rounds for McKinsey BA, and wanted to collect this bowl’s insights on whether exiting in 8 months is a wise decision. While I am also leaning more towards Google than McKinsey & Company, I wanted to source this bowl’s thoughts on whether I should expedite my final round to see if I can get an offer EOW or take the Google offer (just got it in writing). Thank y’all :)
