in a few weeks i will be increasing my hours to full time. it was my choice because i wanted to work in a different area and there will be an additional benfit too. i am just worried that i wont be able to keep up with life.

i have been working part time for the past 3 years, and the past year ive been in the same area. however i have been getting so understimulated since there is no one else around and its been hard to stay motivated. i think it has been making me feel stressed? this new section i will be moving too will definitely have a lot more background stimulation and i am honestly excited about the change. its also brand new, just constructed, so that is also exciting.

i am nearly working full time hours anyway, so i know it realistically won't be that much of a difference. but i am scared that the hours will make me feel more mentally drained. ADD already makes life so difficult and tiring.

idk this makes me feel so silly 😭

Seconding on always stick with index funds and check the fees.

Also, diversify. If there’s a large cap, medium cap, and small cap index fund then put 1/3 into each. Bonus if there’s an “emerging markets” index fund.

Point is, don’t put all of your funds into one basket (whatever it is) ESPECIALLY company stock.
