Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

Any good apps or websites to track your net worth across all accounts (investing, banking, retirement, house) without sharing your information?

Hello I just started my first job (I’m 22) and I need to set up a 401k for matching with my company. I’m really confused how this works because I want to try to hit the IRS maximum of $19,500 for Roth contributions this year. Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great

Buy low
Get worried and sell lower
Get FOMO and buy even lower
Panic and sell at its lowest
Cry myself to sleep
Repeat

Pushing out my retirement date... Crypto down 60%, stocks down 30%.. I was a millionaire in Jan now only a 750kaire lolz. Just numbers on a sheet keep rolling

AITA: My friend keeps asking me for financial advice. I set up a budget for her and have her concrete advice. And I field all of her investing questions. But still, she continues to be reckless with her money. She’s 42, single (no kids), and making $100k+ and is still living check to check.

I don’t want to waste my breathe on helping her since nothing seems to be getting through to her. AITA?

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

What happens if a teacher you work with looses their home to a disaster like a fire or earthquake?

Signing off for the day! Looking forward to continuing the conversation tomorrow. Keep the questions coming :)

What's your favorite story helping someone buy a home? I'm going through the process now and it's so stressful. I need a little positivity :)

Related to a teacher from Indiana who had to make a big repair, how do you recommend we budget for maintenance? I feel like we can work towards downpayment, but maintenance puts it out of reach.

What programs or resources do you have available for Texas teachers?

Ah thank you so much for doing this! My husband and I are planning to dive into this this summer, but frankly it seems impossible. The downpayment thing is pesky

Glad you are here to answer our questions. How exactly does landed work?

I'm a younger teacher in a high COL area. In terms of wealth building, how does home ownership stack up to other methods like investing in stocks?

Is that something that's available to Teachers in Louisiana?

I recently closed on a home and felt like I had to claw for 10% of my downpayment - didn't do 20. Do you think it was a mistake to not do 20? It just seems impossible as a teacher.

What a great conversation so far! I’m headed to a couple meetings but will check back in soon - keep the questions coming!

My honest opinion is that biggest impediment to home ownership for teacher is our bullshit pay.
