As a general practice, should you do $500 monthly for your Roth and DCA or just dump it all in January?
(Time in market type thing)

This is what I’m wondering as well. I should’ve probably added to the original post. I’ve seen folks in this bowl say that dumping all in Jan usually nets the best return historically

All in. in a few decades from now those 12weeks wouldn’t matter at all.

Over $20k I would DCA. $6k you can just dump

Given that Roth is a retirement vehicle (i.e. an inherently long term play), dump it. It won’t matter in 30 years if you dumped or DCA

Time in the market always wins unless you get lucky. Dump it.

Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
