Hi there!

US Immigrant here and trying to navigate the financial/retirement landscape.

Could someone kindly explain to me why I keep hearing people talking about maxing out their HSA and then using it to invest? I thought HSA was just a way to have pre-taxed dollars available for medical expenses?

Any books or resources I could learn about this stuff? Kind of like US retirement and investing for dummies haha.

What companies are holding (in their BS) the debt to finance the 2020-2021 boom for used RVs, used light aircrafts, luxury cars (used cars in general), used boats, art, etc.

Typically these type of loans are securitized and sold to 401k/mutual fund investments. However, that is not always the case (e.g. Carvana). I also heard yesterday from finance expert that BOA holds all loans thry issued.

Any companies in the industries above that are holding 2020-2021 financing in their books?

Any recommendations on secondary sources or books to learn about investment funds? Recently I am getting more investment fund formation assignments as a tax associate. Looking to some materials to learn the basics. Thanks!

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Has any one booked any FD via platforms like Groww, ETmoney which gives slightly high interest rates? In Groww, Bajaj finance giving fd rate of 7-7.5percent. Is it safe? Or should we book via banks and take lower rates.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

So much crap going on in the world, recession, potential war outbreaks and this is before any issues with natural resource issues such as the impending water crisis and soil nutrient degradation. I have started to invest into apocalyptic prepping, is anyone into that stuff? I want to make my basement full of 50 years worth of food for my family complete with guns and tradable items just in case. I also want to buy survival books just in case as well because if internet down, knowledge is power
