It’s just a bank account at the end of the day, and it’s FDIC-insured, so why not?

I’m using SoFi right now (4.5%), but I’d switch to Wealthfront in a heartbeat if they had joint account support. They’re always very fast to raise the rate when the fed announces a rate hike, and they seem generally pleasant to use from what my coworkers say.

Yeah! +1 for YNAB. Been on it for around 6 months now, can’t imagine not using it anymore.

Couldn’t agree more. I grew up poor, and I’ve been lucky to find a well-paying job in my adult life. It makes me feel so good to be able to do the things for people that I couldn’t do when I was younger. I love that quote too - that’s totally true for me. I think I get more satisfaction out of being able to offer something than the person actually receiving the thing.

Yeah, that’s my guess too. I assume there’s some nuance to it that I’m not privy to, but real estate has to be a huge factor.

As a datapoint from the other side, my company (big tech) is holding the party line no matter what. Lower level engineer or director - if you don’t come in the requisite number of days a week, you’re out. It’s a bafflingly short-sighted move, but company culture is more important than anything apparently.

Sekiro (RPG).

It’s not necessarily representative of RPGs as a whole, but man, I have never played a game that felt so polished. The combat is immaculate, the levels are beautiful, and more subtly, the power scaling is really well tuned. Because it’s not open world, they were able to hand tune the enemies’ difficulty more closely to match your own progression, and for me, it resulted in fights that always felt challenging but fair.
