The gig economy makes life pretty volatile. I like having a year of expenses saved in cash, plus savings accounts aren't much less than bonds these days so why not just keep 75k in Alliant?

crazypeltast52 posted:Do any of you have good framework recommendations for setting personal goals? That is a work in progress for me and figured I would ask here. For overall goals, this is what I try to keep to: Health: Always have some form of fun activity that keeps me healthy. Ideally this is with friends. Family: Show appreciation and eat at least one meal a day together. Community: Get to know my neighbors and be on the lookout for ways to help others. Learning: Be learning something new, it doesn't matter what. Art: Set aside a weekly block for creative stuff. Charity: Give time or money or both to help people in need. Reading: A book a week, on average, and share the good ones with friends. Career: Always be learning a new skill. Once I get bored with doing something, double my rates and find another thing to learn. Whatever stage of life you're in, it's important to keep one eye on the daily stuff and another eye on the big-picture stuff. I personally hate the whole idea of "balance" since your priorities will shift throughout life, and I think it's fine to pour yourself into something for a while even if it means shoving other things on the back burner. When I was younger, I really liked having a nice home and spent much more time working, traveling, and partying. Getting into middle age with a kid, my house is a disaster but I'm having fun with my kid and taking better care of my health. When I'm older, I will probably be spending more time with friends, indulging in intellectual pursuits, and mentoring younger people. The younger you are, the more you should jump at risky opportunities and reach for grand ambitions. Crash and burn before you have too many adult responsibilities; you will learn a ton along the way by failing. Beware of making too many plans or working on goal setting rather than working on goals - jump in and figure things out as you go.

What exactly do you want to do for your sleep habits? Phone away at a certain time? Getting to bed by a certain time?

Good-Natured Filth posted:I have a time to go to bed and time to wake up in mind. On weekdays, I'm usually pretty good about meeting those times - largely because I have to get the kids ready in the morning, so they can get to daycare/preschool on time. It's the weekends when I really screw up. Staying up late to catch up on work or other things that I couldn't get to during the week, and then sleeping in the next day.
