I didn't notice a getting to know you or intro board, but I thought I would just make my own. I'm a serious lurker over on the nest MM, and found you guys while searching for more realistic financial advice and insight. I finally joined yesterday because you guys seem pretty down to earth and filled with great info.
I do have a dry, dark sense of humor, so please excuse the excessive lol's and smilies which is my attempt of showing that I'm just kidding.
I'm not an expert in anything but I love chocolate, pinterest, and travel.
Hello! Does this mean we get to start asking you fun intro questions?
What were your last 4 Amazon orders? What is your favorite this about your job? Do you max out your Roth?
Oh god, I hate ice breakers. Last 4 amazon orders: 1. 2 model trains 2. a light kit for photography 3. Stye Me Pretty Weddings and A Practical Wedding (books) 4. a pair of Clarks suede booties
My favorite thing about my job is when I get to go home. hahaha. Actually, I like that I don't have to bring my work home.
I don't have a Roth, but when I got a raise this year I increased my retirement contribution. Roth comes after debt.
Pilsy, I check out MMM every once in awhile because I'm nosy, but I have no kids. I think I mainly like to laugh at the stories. I noticed that people don't really stay on topic??
Hello! So what's going on over on the Nest MM that made you seek out something more realistic? I just thought it would be dead, but I'd be much more amused if they are all "YOLO, retirement is for losers!!!" I guess I could go over there, but no.
Ahahahaha. I stopped checking a few months ago. I guess I was just tired of the general "omg, what do I do with the $50k bonus from work?!"
Actually I think the final straw was when saying people who took out loans for school were losers or something along those lines.
Anyway, just something about the vibe that I wouldn't feel comfortable asking for career or financial advice.
