This might be unorthodox, but honestly the best way to find what works for you is to Google/ research specific questions and reading a ton of perspectives.

Never. Ever. Follow someone else’s plan when it comes to personal finance. You need to formulate what works for you and sense check every once in a while.

The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John C Bogle. It’s a great primer on how to build long term wealth as a passive investor. It has interesting analogies + simple math to show you how low cost, passive investment will make you more than actively managed investment.

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
