I am trying to do a backdoor roth but have about 60k sitting in traditional IRAs. I also currently live in NYC, would it be best to rollover everything into 401k, then do backdoor?

Will I be overpaying, if I get a 2017 Lexus RX350 AWD with 49.5 K miles on it for 32K out of door from a dealership near me? This is my first time buying a used car and also anything outside of a Honda. All insights are appreciated.

Noogler question: are approved Amex expenses from concur directly paid by google to Amex? Or I gotta to pay? My expense was approved but has not yet been fully received in my account..

Or is it because of My H1B visa status.

Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!

Fitbit Charge 5 or Apple watch?

I like that Fitbit is cheaper and has better sleep analysis it seems but hate the lack of band options I’ve found online. I don’t need my phone at my wrist either which is why I’m leaning towards the Fitbit. Anyone feel strongly about either one and why?

Experience sharing on calories deficit -

But there are drawbacks too - my energy level(especially around night time) drop significantly that the level of exercise I used to do feels hard (light/mid intensity)
