and then there's me collecting my earned leaves for my wedding (which might happen sometime in the next 4 years)- Grapevine

Also not been sick whatsoever, even during covid. I don't know why.

My job requires travel so I do get to spend time abroad.

The last cycle, I ended up making an extra 20L from all the leave encashment paying out at once. That's now worth 24L from a small cap MF.

Why does anyone bother with leaves if you are planning to retire before 40? I want to quit working while I'm still healthy.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

We have been given unlimited leaves subjected to approval by our managers and that our work is not affected. 
Since there are no leaves, it can not be encashed at the end of the year. 

I wanted to check in with you and ask how many leaves do you all get?

Leave policy

In my company we have 1 leave per month. Basically after working all January a leave will be credited in February just like our salary and we get 12 leaves per month only (PTOs).
What is your leave structure. 

PS Can't share the company's name because there are only 6 employees.

How many leaves do you get?

New Job vs. New Career: How to Decide ?
I am currently working at Accenture and planning to switch companies. However, given the current market conditions, I'm worried about whether I can secure a new job. I have two options:

1. Get a job offer by next month using my SQL or Oracle skills. My notice period will then end in August or September. However, I need time off in December for my wedding. Will the new company allow me to take leave just 2-3 months after joining?

2. Study for a career in Data Engineering, switch careers, and get a job offer in November or December. I would then get married during my notice period.

What should I do?

Let me start by listing mine
1. Get into shape 💪 - I’ve set a target weight for myself, and a target muscle mass and body fat percentage 
2. One book a month 📕 - This is something I’ve tried over and over but never seemed to achieve.
3. Delve deeper into devops 🔄
4. Complete a few side projects I’ve had in my backlog for months
5. Quit smoking 🚭

What are yours?

Grapeviners, what are your goals for 2024?

I’m 25, and lately all of my long term plans (travel, masters, moving cities) seem to revolve around the plan that I’d want to be married when I turn 30. I know that might be later than most people but I have this constant feeling that once I have a family with a child, my life would be different and that makes me want to do everything before I turn 30.

I don’t know if I’m being fair to myself.

Fellow women, do you feel like you have to accomplish xyz before marriage comes into the picture? How did you get over the self created pressure?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games.

It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

I stay with my parents in a tier 2 town. We have a 800 sq. ft house which is more than 100 yrs old. We are really scared of living in this home as it is fully damaged. 

Yesterday one incident happened one of the walls got demolished. Fortunately we were not there at that time. 

For the past few yrs, We wanted to reconstruct our home from base, but the total cost is around 20 lakh. 

I have been working for the past 2 yrs but hardly able to collect 3 lakh as I spent most of the money by giving it to my father during my sister's marriage.

Guys, can anyone suggest 🙏🙏 there is any source or platform from where I can raise funds. We need to raise around 14 lakh.

and then there's me collecting my earned leaves for my wedding (which might happen sometime in the next 4 years)
