- Less buying power due to rise in interest rate. Any lenders who consider RSUs for mortgage limit?? My banker just told me I can only afford up to $3.4M purchase price, down from $3.75M a month ago. Perfect example of reduced affordability which could be a headwind to house prices. This is primarily since interest rates have gone up and I have reached the 43% debt limit (based on my base and bonu

Save just the limit of money for 401k. Not above as I heard I will receive penalty if I save more. 2. Ensure I could get the match by Amazon. Amazon will match 50% up to 4% of sal
- How come many got rich suddenly ? I’m seriously questioning myself if I did anything wrong. I see a lot of people rich suddenly and are buying 2M or 3M homes, where were these guys back in 2019 when the homes prices were below the peak price in 2018. How did many people become rich all of a sudden. The stock market didn’t go up muc
- vote Approved for a ridiculous loan My other half and I are applying for a loan for our first house and we were approved for an insane amount based on our base salaries alone.

- You are likely still overpaid despite stocks crashing. Stop crying From an Amazon perspective it’s cute to see my colleagues crying about the stock falling despite the fact that Amazon massively jacked up salary bands recently and even got rid of the base cap. The big slow down in the labor market shows they didn’t need to do that at all so count your blessings tha
