I would join the FIRE bowl or some financial bowl in here. If you don’t have any money at all in the Stock market, I would suggest opening a tax advantaged account - 401k, roth IRA, etc. and invest in index funds instead of stock picking. The goal is to have your eggs in all of the baskets to mitigate the risk.

Good advice!

I managed to turn $1000 into $600 by following a friend's advice. Needless to say I don't take his financial advice anymore lol. He did mention that you should never invest anything you're not okay with losing, so there's that

I have invested some money, but not enough to see any huge successes. I just try to invest in companies that I really like and want to see succeed. I for sure don't invest enough money that it would effect me negatively if I made a bad investment.

I was able to lose $2,500 because I believed in a company where a friend worked. They went bankrupt a couple years later. I’ll never invest in a single stock ever again. Broad index funds are the way to go.

I don’t really invest much but I have a few index funds and long term GICs

When to sell at a loss?

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

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???

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?

Additional Posts in Student Loans

SOFI or who else?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
