Connecticut real estate market is soft right now. Buddy got a great deal on 5BR house by the water. Same price as 2BR Condo in Midtown

Wife and I moved from manhattan to New Rochelle after we got knocked up. It was cheaper to buy than rent and the metro north has express trains to grand central. We like the house aspect and proximity to the city but home maintenance is a real headache if you are traveling or working long hours. Here’s my burner if you need to chat more: newroconsulting@gmail.com

We’re headed to Maplewood, but it’s essentially the same. Good homes, nice land, good public schools, insane property taxes. We had to reduce our target price by several hundred thousand due to the taxes.

Longer commute isn’t really an issue given how we’re each only in the office 1-2 days a week.

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
