How much percentage of your Salary do you Save/Invest?

I saw this townhouse in a prime location in my city for $350k (cheap for the area). The floors are all messed up though but the buyer said they’ll either lower the house price or give a credit for closing cost. There’s also a lot of nicks here and there (some locks missing from door, dents, scratches, stains, and some things are loose). But overall, the house’s architecture and design is so beautiful. Would it be worth it to get it and fix it up? Or find a newer house with less maintenance?

New to US. Which brokers offer best margin accounts? For e.g. I have equities worth $100K and want to trade options.

Was able to do so in London, Hong Kong, and India. However, Robinhood here doesn’t seem to allow it.

How did Bain do during the GFC? Were there lots of layoffs?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

What are the BCG ring fences and how is each one? Can you join any of them or are you required to do the one closest to your home office
