27F - parental support so I didn’t have student loans for college nor did I need to work during the school year, allowing me to fully focus on school and get a high paying job right out of college. Live in a HCOL area with multiple roommates to save on rent ($600-1200 a month for my last few places). Put money aggressively into 401k and Index Funds and have seen high returns in past couple years. Promoted very quickly in my current position. So yep, privilege, luck, and some hard work got me here and I’m super grateful to be in this position. Plan to support my future kids in this way too. Many of my friends are in a similar boat or have even higher net worths because they work as engineers in tech.

31 with ~ 800NW in investments and liquid cash. Parents helped with tuition (undergrad, MBA), invested my income since 22, plus a 300,000 gift years ago, which I’ve invested in the stock market. Max out 401K, Roth IRA, and put as much as I can into the investment account. No property, and just got some RSU. Hoping to reach 1 M in investments/ cash by 34.

I’m trying to increase my investment rate to 40-50% and take on a second part time job for additional income.

Bitcoin!!! Jk I don’t own any of that trash

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???

31, $155 base, expenses 2300mo, 30k investment, only debt is 500k house. Is it too late? How far behind am I? If I throw all of my cash moving forward at investments and mortgage can I recover?
