Does anyone have any suggestions on small side gigs or other ways to make some quick cash for the holidays?

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

Isn’t ARKK a self fulfilling prophecy? Billions of new investments made into ARKK every month - hence millions of stock being purchased in relatively small companies that otherwise wouldn’t have seen so much demand (higher demand inc price). Am I understanding this wrong?

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Mutual funds you have your eye on right now?

Looking to open a taxable brokerage after maxing out Roth and 401k. It’s more so for a house down payment in 5-7 years. Can someone please provide insights on ETFs vs mutual funds?

Hey guys! Thanks for joining!

I was doing my own investment research when I came across multiple financial management websites suggesting really bad mutual funds.

Current FD RD rate is between 5.5% to 6.5% for 12 to 18 months. These websites are suggesting "better alternatives" of mutual funds with return rate of 3-4% for the same duration.

I NEED HELP WITH CREDIT SCORE issues: Two months ago my credit score went down by 30 to 40 points due to dad missing credit card payment by a day (i got added to as authorized user on his credit card for me to build credit but now I’m filled with regret). I was devastated by it. This past month I have been making more payments and paid off my aug statement in full thinking it will boost my credit score. But I don’t know why it went down another 10 points. More below:

My dad stole my identity a couple
years back and tanked my credit score
- brought it down to like 400. I've
been working towards fixing it so that

checked my score after not looking at
it for a while and I'm in the mid 600s!
Y'all don't know how happy I am
about this lol
