I’ll take it that there are none? I’ll start then. I found this woman who has a husband and two kids which seemed promising, BUT they sold their house and now live in a camper. I’ve got nothing against that, but I’m just looking for a plain, unimpressive, family fire blog.

Really liked the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Some of it is a little dated but good overall message

Has anyone dealt with stuffing allocation in a non-hedge fund context? It seems even in the HF world the law is fuzzy in using aggregate reverse 704c principles in stuffing allocations. Like, sure, the market is there but no authority really blessed it (other than some Cravath partner’s article in Tax Notes in 2013). If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)

I am 56 years old. My financial advisor has suggested that I create a charitable remainder trust as a tax planning strategy to address $1M in unrealized gains and also allow for tax deductions. I am concerned that I will out live the trust and there will be an excessive contribution to the charity rather than my heirs. While I want to be charitable, having too much go to the charity is a conern. Any suggestions ?

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?

Hey all!
Me and my spouse are in our mid 30s and current HHI is $250K. I'm making 200K, my spouse is making 50K.
I'm new to FIRE concepts. We currently live in LCOL and have 24K/year debt.
Where should we start saving/investing? Both have awesome credit scores, but no significant savings due to coming from very poor countries/families and just last year we're able to change our lives.

I would appreciate any guidance/help on how to best prepare for our future.

Hi, I know this isn't the place to seek tax advice. I haven't sold a car so this doesn't apply to me just yet, but was curious on the overall topic and people's experiences if they've dealt with this.
If I bought a car and sold it for less than the initial purchase price, would I pay taxes on the difference between the sale price and cost basis? If so how would I determine my basis in such a rapidly depreciating asset? Trying to decide if selling is worth the potential hassle. TIA
