80k, gonna have to take out a few when my baby is born in Nov. Gonna take a few months off from work.

i'm set up for 8 months - a year based on the most recent layoffs, i wish a cracka would... :shaq:

About 30K. The rest is in mutual funds and a roth IRA.

Seperate savings account.

11k
17k
5k

I'm about to invest in hard goods.

About 40k in savings, another 100k in investment accts. We'd be good for a while. Sheeit, in fact being laid off would kind of be a blessing at this point. 5 months severance? Sheeeeeeit, i wish a nicca would get laid off.

In a similar position. Closing in on 90k in savings.

Was thinking of adding more to the investment account, but that's been :flabbynsick:

1. What do you guys do?
2. How long yall been working?
3. How much (ball park) do yall make? (I know that is personal so you dont have to be exact.)

The reason I ask is cause I;ve been working straight outta college making mid 5 figures and I got about 23K...I swear on a stack of bibles...all I spend money on is food (groceries and fast food), bills, and helping family from time to time.

I need to know what I need to do differently...unless yall just make WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more money than me, then...
:ohlawd: :snoop:

Worst part about the whole thing is I hate my job...I be waking up in the morning mad I have to do this shyt.

true indeed bruh. we're looking to have a child but we're torn because we STILL want to do a little more traveling, furnishing our town house, saving, etc you know? I'm 26 and she 25 and been married for over 2 years so we're "ready" to start a family but man we love our "freedom" to get up and go you know?

I feel ya. I got 5 kids but still get some freedom. Here and their my moms or my chick's mom will baby sit or I go to happy hour for a few. But as for trips its mainly family stuff. I still aint been to Vegas and really want to go.

I make low six figures. Been working since 2003, steadily stacking since then. It's easy for me because my social life consists of basically Gamefly, Netflix, the gym, and the coli (introvert for the win). I don't have kids or any expensive habits. I work from home so I don't have to buy expensive clothes or pay for lunch every day or buy gas for my car. My girl is low maintenance and makes around 60k so that's helped. Basically, I put about 20% pre-tax into investments, and another 19% post tax into savings and investments, plus whatever bonuses I get.

I think what's really bringing parenting to full circle for us is that my homeboy, his girl, and their two kids (5 months and 8 year old) stay w/us and seeing how much attention a new born needs and wants has been an eye opener. I want us to be able to save to the point where I want her to take additional time off from work once we have our first child. Gonna be tough but gotta be positive about it

1) i work in finance, i currently trade a few different products at this point.
2) 10 years in aug.
3) i make a very comfortable living but less than i did a few years ago.

i absolutely detest my job as much as anybody. i've been trying to move jobs for a few years now but every job i interview for goes to someone more junior than i am. i'm stuck in a very difficult position because at this stage in my career i command a certain title/compensation level but i am trying to sorta change desks. so it's always cheaper for the firms i interview w to hire someone w less experience. this has happened to me at least 5 or 6 times in the last 2 years alone. i am very close to leaving the industry and trying something different at this point. but like i said, it's very tough to take a chance like that because i am very "comfortable."

I really am looking to find something to invest in. I also have a few stacks in something called the tsp but I don't even know how much I have in it. All I know is savings accounts aren't worth a damn like bonds or investments.

My savings is damn near just money I'm waiting to spend.
