You figure that out and help your partner grow BEFORE marriage, not after. Only a foolish person hitches themselves to a horse before they feed it
Wrong again, I ain’t investing knowledge resources in the bish if we ain’t married and building a future for our kids.

If you havent figured out after a year or two whether or not this is a woman you want to invest in and have kids with, you need to drop that woman and move on

This has nothing to do with what I said about only investing in a woman’s future after marriage.

1st wife gets most of the benefits like pensions . Remember that, 1st wife gets pension benefits.

Girls are taught this early by older women in their family. This is why the 1st marriage is very important decision.

There's even a running joke, your first marriage should be for security, your second marriage should be for love

He doesn't care anymore. What she gets now is miniscule to what he gets in disability benefits. Half his retirement in the 90s was great but almost 30 years of inflation ate up that buying power. That's why she's trying to sneak back but it ain't working.

When it started dating my now wife, she was making 40 thou and I was at 70 or so. I am well into 6 figures now and she is making more than me and also working on her doctorate. This is some foolishness.

:hhh:
You are slow in the head

what is a UHNWI?


Does it mean ultra-high net worth individual if so how do you get to that tier making 80k?

Yeah, it means that. If one is at 80k sooner or later you will be HNWI for sure. If you have what it takes and you might get to that next level.

To get to that level depends on you.

But I have seen it. When I was working at a hedge fund, a few people started below 80k. Now I believe two are on their way to UNHWI, they have their shops(funds) now.

They found their wives way before they were on that path to the next level.

High finance for sure, startup tech is a terrible way to get rich fast


You have to go to Harvard Stanford or another target school to succeed and the path to high finance hedge fund manager is nearly impossible for career switchers. You could build a marketing saas tool at 35 if you know how to code and market it.

Cant answer tech questions, not my field. Forget who I met on here that was in tech deep.

High finance is kind of vague, not sure exactly which areas you mean.

Will go with the hedge fund route. Need to start young, right out of university. Those internships at banks are amazing from various universities. They are constantly looking for talented people. This could apply to other fields like mergers and acquisitions though.

This is for traders. The longer way is dying fast but can to go work for a shop trading accounts. Build your book( list of clients) and eventually take that book and run your shop.

Also, add in networking your butt off, go to every lunch whenever you can.

Yeah, it's a bit of vague advice. The real question is do you want that kind of life. That is high hours a week for a good portion of your life. Also, the pressure is insane, breaks people easily. Took a chunk out of me. Also going to have to become a bookworm. A ridiculous amount of info about there in books. Many people enter and many people get chewed out.

I will say this though the area is deeply understaffed. The talent search is always ongoing. Just not enough people either going into it or just not enough people that can do it.

Hard question to answer. Honestly!

MBA is for people that already have deep work experience in their field and need it to crack the next stage of the ladder.
Personal around 29 to 34 would be a sweet spot.

But also figure the demographics are probably changing as everyone wants to get in young right after finishing their undergrad.

Started to do my CFA exactly around 29, so it's hard to say breh! I remember doing the first test thought that everyone looked young. But it's hard to say.

Edit: This is to the question you asked before about finance not cracking the next level without a CFA or MBA though, thats for sure.

lol so you’ve had the same personality all your life? People, things change all the time, please embrace it. Some of y’all are mentally stuck.

We're basically agreeing with each other, but you're reading with your emotions to the point where what I'm saying is going over your head. Slow down
