I have around 20k in vested stocks of my fortune 100 company. Their stock has outperformed sp 500 etc.
It's not too much, and this money is extra for me. A way to start my investments outside savings and retirement.
I know I need to diversify, but how much?
I initially thought to keep 5, sell 15.
What do others think?
I'm sr director in a large company within the financial services industry. I'm not from the USA, and my whole family lives in my country. I'm proud of the life I've built for myself with my husband, we live in a great place in the North East, we both make good money. I love my job, my accomplishments, but I'm not going to lie, finding a job after gradschool as a foreigner was very hard.
I finally found a job within this company. I've been here 7 years and I'm very happy. The benefits are good. Some companies have better benefits but I'm overall happy, it's a good industry and I do what I always wanted to do.
Bow that my kids are at the age of cool summer camps I want them to spend time in my country. We go every year but now they are excited about longer summers there. They've done day camp, they love it. I have 5 weeks PTO. I know it's a lot, but things come up during the year. Sickness. Holidays, little trips. I would have to basically not take any vacations at all to take 5 all at once. I might try in the next few years but it's not ideal and it would be exhausting. Also, I don't need to be on vacation if my kids go to camp, I just want to have my life elsewhere for a bit.
My job has a strict hybrid policy of 3 days in the office. I dream about a job that could allow me to work abroad for the summers. Is that possible? Does anyone have an arrangement like that? Has anyone requested something like this of a conservative company? My husband gets a month to work abroad, but my company says tax wise is impossible.
I acknowledge that my situation might sound very privileged, it's not my intention to brag or be spoiled. This is where I am. I'm sometimes very, very home sick and I want my kids to experience both cultures. It's tough, I want to advocate for myself or find something else and I don't know if I will be able to. (And today, I don't want to be a teacher or stop working)
I'm curious about people who named their first Nico, what names followed them?
(38,F) My tooth was removed yesterday due to injury. I'm taking the implant route. I got a denture yesterday to wear for a month while it heals. Then I'll get a Maryland bridge until my bone/bone graft has recovered and then an implant. My dentist told me sometimes patients love the Maryland bridge so much they never come back.
I read all the reddit opinions of don't do them, etc. I understand why, the risks, deattachment etc...but this is what I'm doing. My dentist - must be in his 50s or 60s. Is pretty confident.
I'm afraid I won't be able to eat pizza or bite into anything.
I just want to get some positivity around me. Losing a tooth is hard emotionally!!
