Mid-30sF. Have been working for nearly 15 years, no major recurring expenses except for the occasional health scare.

Questions for you. All of my brokerage is invested in various mutual funds and stock. Is there anything else I can be doing to “put it to work?” Would you buy a property to rent out?

I’d like to eventually shift from active income (grinding in my day job and side hustles) to passive income (have no idea what to do). What ideas have you explored?

Cash: $10K

401K: $500K

HSA: $25K

Brokerage: $315K

I met a guy who says he works in PE. I generally wouldn’t care, but he was disrespecting my career so I wanted to dig into his.

I did a little digging on LinkedIn, and he actually works in the accounting department for a portfolio company owned by a small PE firm. He might also run the accounting for some other portfolio companies owned by the same main group, but basically my question: does he actually work in PE? What kind of roles exist in PE? For some reason it’s not clicking for me.

Can we get some recent reference points?

Unless you get a full ride to your dream school or are sponsored and have a job waiting for you after graduation

It is a bloodbath for recruiting anywhere you look

HENRY here! Have seen a lot of posts about taking your foot off the gas pedal of work. Obviously there’s a mental component here when you’ve been so used to grinding. But tactically, once you get there, how are you getting away with working 20 or whatever hours a week?
