The biggest source of tension in my life is seeing friends make 150k+ a year getting data science or bioinformatics jobs and knowing I could also do that, but I'd be suicidally unhappy
Versus the salary I get right now, which is criminal, but I'm absolutely in love with my job and actually look forward to going to work every day
So I've been pretty solidly playing Magic since the start of the month and after experimenting with a new deck build (still white/black) for about a week I busted into Platinum last night after starting at Bronze at the start of the month.
Nice! I haven't been playing for a while because of other games and stuff but this next set looks super fun so I'm definitely gonna be diving into thag one a ton.
Where do you even put 5 million dollars without it being a huge hassle to deal with?
an investment account?
if you're moving money in and out a lot to handle every day expenses you're probs paying a lot in transaction fees tho
I'm confused... why would you put away so much of it that you need to keep moving it for every day expenses?
im thinking about a super rich person that probably spends north of 6 figures every month
are there special rich person checking accounts? cuz the FDIC limit is $250k (and is that only for savings accounts or savings/checking) so I assume you don't want to keep it all in a pleb checking account like the rest of us
a money market account at Vanguard or similar
you've got your securities and a cash position, and you can use the cash just like a debit card

All our proposal writers get a bonus for every contract they bring in
That would cause absolute chaos here.
how so? you bring in money for the company, you get paid a bit extra.
Depends on how the companies are structured. Many govt contractors (especially 8(a) contractors) do proposal teams. Where 20 people write the proposal and 1 person keeps version control. Other contractors have a Sr. Project Manager or VP who writes the proposals and in turn ends up getting a commission.
Is there a jackpot value high enough that playing the lottery is the correct mathematical decision?
There isnt an amount for 1 ticket but there is an amount for buying all the tickets. And people have gotten investors to do so before.
These days the odds are such that buying all the tickets would be near impossible though
this was a problem we worked through in an undergrad polisci stats class
For Mega Millions it was 270M ish then, but since they've added the extra ball its probably 2-3 billion now to have EV >= 1
small lottos let you do this without so much of an initial capital needed, some West Virginia or wherever state or county lottos keep getting bought out by a syndicate of stats profs and they keep hitting

My work has gone full corp now after we got bought so it'll be 2.5-3% raises if you perform miracles from this point forward it looks like.
I'd like it to be above the yty inflation index but otherwise I've kind of accepted it for now. I'm pretty sure not my girlfriend makes more money than me so if all goes well eventually I'll just ask her to buy me things I can't afford.

Seriously I cannot possibly elucidate how infuriating it is that I'll have paid off a full fuckin mortgage by 35 with nothing to show for it but the ability to have paid off a full fuckin mortgage by 35.

I like putting in that I'm a female millennial therefore my success is more impressive than other people's.
Overall, I'm in the 6th percentile.
In my demographic, I'm at the 40th percentile. Which just shows how easy the world makes it for highly educated white males.
Yeah putting in "advanced degree" drops me down like 15 percent, what a buzzkill. I guess it's because you don't actually need an advanced degree to do my job.

Do you not still own the house?
That seems like a thing to show for it.
Yeah as a non-house owner that seems like a fuckin flex to me

Student loans?
Yup doing the loose math I'll have paid about 280k by the time I'm done. Which back when the housing market here wasn't an over inflated shit show would have been about the target value for a decent starter home. It would build me a damn near palace out in buffalo.

A large thing perpetual renters don't account for in their mental calculus for always be rentin' is what happens when your loan matures and you now own the house. That's a LARGE amount of money you no longer are paying per month, forever. "Well I can invest it" yeah but when you're 65 what about that piece of mind of no longer having a large substantial bill anymore? 30% of your income is just straight up gone every month, imagine having access to that again.
SSI doesn't feel like a whole lot until you realize most super old people never pay rent or mortgages, then it is.

So, based on numerous conversations in Chat, I finally managed to open up a discussion about wages with my coworkers, and it turns out we are all about equal, but I'm getting paid a couple dollars less than someone who although he has a lot of work experience, absolutely none of it is relevant to the job we are doing, where I have seniority and a couple years experience in the field from a previous job. I'm hoping I'm up for a promotion this round anyways, but does anyone have suggestions for how to parlay this information into a bargaining chip, maybe without revealing that we all discussed how much we are paid, which is I think against work policy?

You determine it the same way you determine senior authorship on papers!
This will certainly not have bad consequences if we add money directly to this problem!
I was in the 64th percentile of salary three years ago, now I'm in the 90th. By estimation then I am set to cross the 100th next year. Sweet
