Does anyone have book recommendations for people in their 20s. Anything ranging from wealth building, communication skills, life advice, etc. Just trying to build some more knowledge and skills. I’m 25 right now making 100K, single, living as below my means as possible, but would appreciate any life advice from anyone here!

Does anyone use a brokerage account instead of a checking account? Mine offers a fee free debit/atm card and free checks which I'd rarely use but starting to question whether it is worth maintaining my "big bank" checking account that requires a $1500 minimum balance.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls.
