Any opinions on whether mortgage rates are likely to go up in next 6 weeks or so? Trying to decide on whether to get a rate lock or not. No cost to lock, but would pay a hefty fee to unlock if rates went lower. Leaning toward not locking. I’m guessing any rate changes in either direction won’t be too large anyway, so probably pretty low stakes decision?

Is my 401(k) match based on a sum amount (i.e. 6% of 100k = 6000) or from each paycheck?

I have a wee crush on one of the partners in my firm and I thought he liked me too, but neither of us did anything about it (which is entirely appropriate). That was all pre-Rona.

How should I go about this? (Especially given Rona?)
