    My Vanguard roth IRA is up 11% since 2020, and is up 30% just this last year. If you are investing into individual stocks yourself I would probably reconsider that strategy. Buying individual stocks is closer to gambling than investing.

    I see you did total market funds now, idk what to tell you. But if you are not retiring soon it doesn’t really matter. Time in the market is better than timing the market.









  • As with many animal-related jobs, the low pay probably manages to automatically filter down applicants to only compassionate people that just want to help the little floofs. It’s a step above volunteer (of which many are present anyway).

    Ya, the posting is like this because they will still get tons of extremely qualified applicants. There are tons of IT, office, construction, whatever jobs, but there are not many “Work with or around wolves” jobs. They will probably get people with Masters degrees applying for this, maybe Ph.D. I applied for an animal control position and that was the case there.
