Considering a move to Myrtle Beach. Can anyone share any pros/cons? Best neighborhoods (max $650k). Not concerned about job change as I am a permanent remote worker (have HR approval and am now an individual contributor versus people manager). Any tax considerations to consider. My husband is a pensioner.

No info on the area, just wanted to say congrats on getting to where you're at so far.

Thanks for the encouragement. It reminds me to take a moment to practice gratitude.

I love Myrtle Beach but it depends on where you are moving from. It has become more expensive over the years. My in laws have a condo there…

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card. I haven’t heard people talk about it in the card community and it could save people a bit of money - 10% cash back. I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
