Take your time when buying furniture. You don't have to buy everything at once.

I like to open a 0 APR credit card before a big purchase, like when furnishing a new home. Even better if it has sign up bonus

Go slow on the buying, and purchase quality pieces. I bought the cheap stuff just to fill the room, and ended up replacing it soon after.

Wayfair. Cheap and great return policy

Didn’t really like wayfair quality - but your call

Monitor the stores whose stuff you like - many will have volume discounts on holidays that could be helpful for buying several big expensive pieces all at once ($100 off $1000, $500 off $2500, etc.) We did this for our new house on Black Friday and then noticed a ton of really steep discounts on Christmas and made another big purchase on that date.

I’ve been a general manager for a convenience store for almost 2 years now. I have raised profit after variable expenses by 13% compared to last year, and I am exceeding budgets by 5-30% in every category except for turnover rate. I got an 11% raise last year, but still only make $55k. My store profits about 17k a month on inside sales, and 160k a month in fuel. I think I deserve more, but I don’t know how to ask for it, and don’t know how to begin a job search aside from indeed. Any advice?

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

TX Property Help:
I have new tenants at 1 of our properties in TX who have placed official maintenance requests for every little thing wrong with the house. (all the way down to loose screw on the toilet paper holder, gap in the front door weather stripping etc.)
Their lease started Apr 9th, but they didn't send the Condition Move In Report back to me until May 17th.
Any recs on how to legally reject the requests? What items don't I need to fix, and how to deny them w/o pissing off tenants?
