She’s obviously blowing. I don’t think I know any actor or actress that has blown up as much as her. Is she getting all this attention because she’s one of a kind rarity that finally got the chance to shine due to obsession or is she just an “it” girl at the moment due to the success of her performance?

With a micro budget film like obsession going bonkers at the box office and general acclaim it’s receiving, what was it like when a real goat indie film like Pulp fiction dropped? Was it bigger than what obsession is doing? Or would resivoir dogs be a better comp since it’s a debut film?

I’ve loved film for as long as I can remember. My love for it has only grown so much more post college. I am now 32 and want to somehow break into it. I currently do finance and production (work for a small film non profit. I love the art of compelling story telling through visuals (movies) and not sure how to break into or if it’s even a good idea to make my passion into a job. Where do I start?

She just hit 1 million followers now. I started following her I think 500k followers? This was about a week into obsession’s theatrical release. What was it prior?

With her success, how rare is it to see someone at her level to blow up this quickly? Is she like an overnight celebrity? Was she already pretty well known prior to this? I don’t wanna compare her to Florence Pugh or like Anya Taylor joy but it feels like she’s one that career trajectory after this one.

I sold $50k worth of stocks in 2024 and that would be like $70k+ right now. This isn’t including the extra money I saved to increase the down payment so my portion would probably be an extra $150k higher than it is now. Anyone ever do this and feel like shit? I do own a home now that I love tho.

Most of my cash is in VTI (70%) or so and the rest is in Apple, Msft, Google, Amzn, Nvidia, Disney, cost. I invested in Nvidia back in 2021 and it’s the only big winner that I have in my portfolio that’s not MU, Sandisk, AMD, etc.

Anyone here know how to deal with missing out on these winners? I’d be a millionaire by now if I had invested in these too instead of the mag7 type companies.

Hello I’m 29 with an investment portfolio of $255k, cash of $35k, and home in equity of 210k with a net worth of about $500k. How do we project our home values when considering net worth? Or do you guys only focus on strictly stock market portfolio and liquid assets?

I’m in this boat. I was an analyst in lending and hated it. It was a good career tracking in terms of earning but felt so miserable and feel grossed out by just thinking of real estate. Anyone else feel this way and left a high paying career for something that made them happier but lower in pay?

Since finishing college, I could never find that niche that really interested me. Everything I did I didn’t enjoy so I jumped around a lot and just saved and invest as much as I could in my 20’s. I am entering my 30’s now with a sizable investment portfolio and equity in my home.

I am ready to take a risk and start over in a different industry. That industry is in food. It’s the only thing I’m passionate about but I am not looking to be a cook or chef as I’ve done it and it’s not worth the little pay. What’s an avenue in food that can be a lucrative career?

I currently make 75k starting out and would like to pursue a higher position once I fully learn the ropes. What kind of comp could I expect if I were to grind it out and enter director level position? Maybe even elsewhere

I current am a finance manager at a $600 million donation npo. I currently make $75k a year. I feel paid fine for my workload but if I were to make a transition somewhere else for more work and income, where could I go? Is it a specific industry within npo?

Is it just me or are cinnamon rolls kinda underrated? All I see are thick cookies on instagram but not really much cinnamon rolls on my feed. Anyone else feel this or am I wrong?

I don’t get a match until after 1 year which would be in December. Should I just wait and focus on maxing my Roth? Or should I continue to contribute say, 10%, as I’m doing now? I never know how to treat 401k with no match

I have a couple offers of either work life balance and mid money or good money but no work life balance. The first one would be an industry change and the second one is a VP role.

Obviously the $160k seems nice but damn I do not wanna work those hours. It sounds awful and it’s in an industry I don’t like (CRE). Been doin this for 7 years and burnt out and hate it but this offer sounds so good. What do yall think?
