Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

I feel consulting is more like being a well paid sage. Be nice to people even though you don’t like them. Go out of your way and get work done(amount of travel) put in extra effort and hours for ppl

Need advice on where to invest my money. I’m 27 y/o and have 100k saved. 25k with a badly managed robo advisor which has only given me +3% this year, 15k actively invested and 45k in cash (pls no judgement, I know about inflation, that’s why I’m seeking advice), 15k in my retirement savings fund. Want to ditch my robo advisor and start investing as diversified as possible without having to buy single stocks. Any advice?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Buying a house with monthly expense of $4900, although my current rent is only $2350. My total HHI with my husband is about $310K.

Should I just suck it up in order to be a homeowner?
