I was complimented by a CFP, and thank you.

I admin our 401k at work, essentially just entering the amounts, deducting payroll, etc.

A CFP came in to discuss our plan and some different options we have. Half way through he stops and says, "I just have to say I'm really impressed by you. You have been very knowledgable about every retirement aspect we've talked about."

It took everything in me not to say "yep, there are these women online, they taught me everything"

Thanks MM, you now make my bank account and work credibility better.

Isn't that nice!

I was worried about taking a few years off to SAH and our planner said I'd never have to go back to work if I didn't want to. I remember feeling so happy that we were doing better than I thought.

I've said this a lot, but I cannot tell you how much MM has helped me get my shit together. Everything from advocating for a raise, saving for retirement, getting an easily affordable house...

I know people complain about this board not being money-focused enough sometimes, but the amount you pick up here and there is amazing. Any time I hear of someone making a dumb financial decision (stopping 401k, trading a car they own for a lease at the same price) I have to bite my tongue to keep from sending them here!

Nice to know that time on this board is not just "entertainment" .
Congratulations.
