Anybody here decided not to get married but build a family, have kids, stay together etc? Basically just not have the papers to say so.

Any benefit to your family as a whole in terms of getting grants, lowers taxes, etc? Example getting government grant on homeownership because the threshold only covers single income

Idk. I mean if it’s just paper it’s paper. These days it’s a title society places value in. Half fail, many cheat, and it’s been refined once. Who cares? Marriage imo is old fashion.

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
