Do you save money moving from NYC to the areas of NJ that border NYC (Hoboken/Union city/Jersey city etc.). I’m thinking saving on city tax, rent, and groceries.
What are the trade offs?

I found a great deal, and it allows me to have and afford a car :) I like the ability to leave to something a little cleaner but ya know, to each their own :)

You may save money if you can get around without a car. The car can be a big expense between the monthly payments, parking, car insurance, gas etc.

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?

Hi All. What is the best way to allocate 25 Lakh INR in savings into different investments to maximize returns. I recently moved out of India so Tax rebate is not a consideration for me. I already have 6 lakh plus invested in PF and MFs but I want to invest more as my money is getting depreciated in the savings bank account.

I also have an education loan with balance of 7 lakhs which I am planning to repay in lumpsum as there is no tax exemption now.
