Anyone has a recommendation on a personal financial coach?

I’m heavily in stocks & re-reviewed my portfolio. My financial advisor takes 1.1% . Thinking of switching to .3% managed fee for vanguard index (bonds), especially while mkt is down. Thoughts?

Hi All! Just looking for some guidance.

I took a loan against my 401k and the repayment is drawn from my paycheck. Included in that payment is 6% interest.

I have enough money to repay the remaining balance of the loan. The question is: should I repay it now or just continue with the payment and pay off if I leave the company?

The money would go into savings / investments.

Thank you!

hi how much is the max LTA exemption? i have declared for 52k this year.

Hi All - new to FIRE and trying to make the right decision around investing my bonus. My company works with Fidelity but I've heard so much about VTSAX. Is it worth opening up a Vanguard account for post-tax investments or are FZROX and FSKAX true alternatives? Thanks so much

Has anyone had issues withdrawing USD from Coinbase? I’m unable to withdraw my available balance to my bank account

Long story short: Guaranteed Rate approved us for a $1M loan. Right before closing, they did a credit inquiry. My wife missed an annual CC payment on a card she doesn’t use. We have near perfect credit.

The one payment dropped her below approval threshold.

WTF…this needs to be made famous!!!

Locked in a 3.2% interest rate for my mortgage. Thanks, COVID!

Any thoughts on $VRM ? Thinking loading up and holding for 2-3 year.

Has any one went from reinsurance back to insurance? The money is great and all but the W/L balance isn’t. Has anyone else felt the same?

What altcoin are you betting will make the largest ROI in a year. And why do you think so?

i moved recently and incurred about 10K in CC debt (~25% APR) and about 36K left of my student debt (8% APR). I can probably pay between $1000-$1500 a month towards debt with my current budget. my parents recently downsized are gifting me $40K to pay off my student loan, which my mum co-signed. would it be appropriate to ask her if i can use it to pay off CC debt and continue paying the student loan (and pay it off on my own by fall)? should i just bite the bullet and pay the interest?

Is life any easier/more balanced if working in the crypto space? Has anyone made this move? Would love to hear

Currently work in a stupid “Covid” job and am having trouble with pay. This team Im on takes an extra week to pay its members so we are paid every three weeks rather than two. I can’t live like this because I have loans to pay from school and don’t have any money for myself so I’m living paycheck to paycheck sadly…… but am not sure who to talk to. What should I do?

Noob Q - Deloitte 🐠 can we use coinbase?

I plan to go back to school next year. I am lucky enough that my parents have put some money in a 529 plan for me. It is beneficial for me to create my own 529 plan as well or does that not make sense since I would be the beneficiary for both accounts?

I understand this differs by state, I’m in Indiana if that helps.

To all med residents out there, let me advise saving and investing just a little bit every month. Long-term compounding of gains is critical

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

This group brings me so much joy with all the pics ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Fish Bowlers!

I need help!

I have an offer from a company where my salary is 30% higher than my current place, and the benefits are great. I'm pretty happy with the overall package , only negative is my 4 weeks vacation will turn into 3. They've already said no to matching my 4 weeks.

I will sign with the company but I wanted some advice on how to negotiate -- if needed at all. Or maybe ideas on what else can be negotiated? They did mention the possibility of stock options later.

Hello all, I work full time as an RN at the VA. I’ve been looking for a side hustle to do on my own time. I would love to review cases such as prior authorization, records for 2nd opinions, etc. The positions that I come across generally require a commitment of at least 24 hrs which is not feasible. Anyone know of any opportunities?

Come join a wildly creative and fun team.” - from an Aquent recruiter email.

Well, got my annual physical, and I have high blood pressure, just shy of hypertension. I work out, eat very healthy and I’m fairly young. I think the likely culprit is the stress of producing because they found no other health reasons that would cause it.

Has anyone else in the bowl dealt with HBP related to work stress? If so, was there anything you did that helped address it? As stressful as it is, I love producing, and I don’t like the idea of leaving the field if I can manage it.
