Commuting to NY is getting worse every week. This can’t be good for NJ real estate market.

The PTC installation this year has been worse than the “summer of hell” last year with all the unplanned cancellations. Now NJT is outright eliminating trains on nearly every line, something they should have done early in summer just so people could have planned.

You know it’s gonna be overcrowded and awful if they’re giving 10% off all tickets for three months

Think of what a boon it will be if it gets better. Most people buy in NJ because they get priced out of NYC. I can't imagine that will change anytime soon.

This is a little embarrassing… I don’t know anything about investing. I come from a low income / immigrant background and never received financial education. Just recently learned the difference between an TR and Roth IRA 😓 I have started to contribute $$ in my 401K. I am 27 and only have like $15K in my Vanguard account feel like I am so behind. Can someone recommend good resource/advise to learn the basics?

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in. Market rents have risen 70-100% in the same timeframe. All seem like ideal tenants (retired and take great care of the units) but I’d like advice on how to approach the rent increase conversation. Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.
