EY fish - any suggestions for options within our 401k if I want to pull out of FXAIX (S&P 500 Index) and cool my heels for a while? I like the idea of bonds or gold equivalent (or cash I guess) but not sure which option is best. Perhaps VIPIX?

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!

I don't have car experience but I'm going to buy my first car (used 2018). I don't have a mechanic to help test the car. Is it safe enough if I buy from a dealer with points inspection + low milage (< 30k km)+ clean carfax + contactless delivery? I have funds available to pay in full.

Anyone have started preparing for Series 7 exams? What is the best study material to start with?

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?

Anyone invested with QQQM or QQQJ? Thinking about splitting a chunk between both.

I bought a house last year from a senior couple and was locked into a senior exemption on my property taxes for the rest of the year. I just received my property tax bill for the new year and I'm still locked into the senior exemption. Can I be penalized in the future if I don't say anything and just keep paying my property taxes as is? I feel like it's the village that screwed up and that's on them. Thoughts??
