Just curious, how many of us (consultants) getting the stimulus checks actually need to rely on the stimulus checks for necessities due to the pandemic? I would think like 95%+ wouldn’t actually need it if they still have their job.

I was doing just fine living in Chicago making $60k when I graduated.

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.

When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.
