I have a condo in north suburbs of Atlanta. It was $135k back in 2019, put $27k down, and I had around $35k in savings (not including my HSA or Roth IRA)

It’s been great! I was losing a few thousand a year initially the first two years bc of repairs and HOA assessments that came up but this year I have been cash flowing well, and expect it should continue to do better since rent is increased every year and most major appliances have been replaced recently

I got an apartment for 610k, put 200k down, had around 10k in savings left. Love the place and really happy I did it

This is in Stockholm though so interest rates are lower at 1% when I bought the place, at 3% now

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
