Anyone have any good book recommendations around building passive income sources/building wealth?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

Best resources/books on getting personal finance in order?

Anyone here ever had any experience using a 203(k) loan? How wild you rate your experience?

260K base HHI and no debt. What is the max you would spend on housing? Take home is $11,000 after maxing out all tax-advantaged accounts. I was thinking $4000 a month, but not sure if it is too aggressive.

Crying for my RSUs….started at my company about 6 months ago and got some RSUs split over 3 years. Turns out the stock price at time of my hiring (which is what was used to calculate the number of shares over the three years) was the highest it’s ever been. Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?

Any suggestions for joint investment account with a significant other?

What's your target retirement savings? Target age? Combined or single?

Anyone live in the centerville area? Do you like it? No kids, looking to buy a place with my husband. We would like something walkable, condo, with at least a bit of a social life. Too much to ask?

Do bank managers/loan officers at local branches have any sway in approving loans? I live in a small Midwest town would it be better to go to my local bank and see if people I know there can get a better rate etc on an auto loan?

Can someone explain whether you’d buy altcoins as a ETH pair vs a BTC pair? Does it matter?

At my current freelance gig, they hold 47% of my gross paychecks for taxes. Is this normal or way too much?

Do you guys plan on living in LA for the long term? Any tips on navigating the neighborhoods and where I good starter location would be?

ATTN: Motorcycle people in LA. Selling my ‘79 Yamaha xs650. New hydraulic clutch. Just got back from the shop and have receipts. Pickup only.

I'm moving and have a lot of stuff to donate, but no time to go and drop off. Anyone know of any charitable organizations that come to your residence and pick up donations?

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
I am not sure what is wrong...
When I apply with referral, my resume always pass screening and shared with managers. But then no response.
When I get feedback on my resume and experience, people always mention "impressive". I feel desperate...Being in less challenging role at Amazon makes everything worse.

I am Finance Analyst. Any suggestions? Ideas

New Yorkers (Manhattanites): Travel to Tyson’s Corner from NYC - fly or train (High speed train 3 hr) for commute?

Creating a 529 for myself before having kids…Should I setup a 529 for myself?

I don’t currently have kids but probably will in the future (31M, single now). Alternatively, I may go back to school at some point, or I’d be happy to disperse/gift the $$ to my nieces and nephews too… what’s my upside/downside?

Looking to buy a property mid-2021 and need advice on what to do with my savings that I’m building to purchase the property. More info in the comments

Hi,

Should I wait for bgv successful completion afyer getting offer letter before resigning ?

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺

Edit: how do I sell this idea to Netflix? Even though it’s bizarre.

I've never watched racing before but I woke up this morning to a Formula 1 Race on TV and left it on. Something about the cars routinely going round and round is surprisingly relaxing to me.

I have a serious concern. I am a 23 year old male and still suffer from bedwetting issues and I am just done with this at this point. Does anyone know why this happens or the cause of it? Appreciated

Bummed dragon flight is being released after thanksgiving break. Now I gotta take PTO on Tuesday 🤷.. oh well

Noticing that a lot of women I’ve dated have had physically or emotionally abusive fathers....if I had to guess about 20%?

Is this out of line statistically or am I doing something to attract this? Not complaining btw (except for 1, they’ve all been great and happened to confide this information)

Used to think I was independent and stoic enough to not care about dating & relationships, and then I realized it'd be really nice to share my time and energy with someone. Now I'm balding in my late 20s, living alone, and only really get to see my family. Online dating is a wash and feels like an incredible waste of time.

Hopefully lockdown lifts soon enough for me to meet someone before the rest of my hair goes. Baldness will not suit me well.

Deeply afraid of being married to someone like the girl in sex/life on Netflix

I have an estranged relationship with my sister. I haven’t had a relationship with her in 13+ years, and haven’t even seen her in about 5 years. We had a really bad falling out and I never really carried for her as a person. But for some reason I feel an immense guilt for not wanting a relationship, simply because of this convoluted idea of family and sticking together no matter what. Anyone else have this issue? How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?

Do you consider your in-laws family? For example, if your spouse’s sibling has children, do you consider those kids as your family or your spouse’s family?

Follow up of another confession: what was your experience with backstabbing?

Question for the married 🐠- Have you ever gone to couples therapy? If so, how did it work out for you? Did it help and do you now live your life happily ever after? Or did it just delay the inevitable and you are no longer in a relationship with your significant other? I’ve seen so many people go to therapy only to end up breaking up shortly afterwards and dropping some serious $$$

Inebriated thought...What if rhinos are simply unicorns that let themselves go?

Several years ago a gay male acquaintance said he didn't date Black guys. It made me bristle but I was not surprised. Now he's married to one. I feel in a way vindicated every time I see his loving social media posts with his Black husband of like 5 years or so now.

How did he get over his apparent aversion to Black men enough to go and marry one? Where would he be if he hadn't had a change of heart?

I wish there were a tactful way to remind him he said that and watch as he eats his words...

Sometimes like tonight I wonder why we do what we do. Working crazy hours with no purpose. Could just be the booze talking. Will be ready for my 7 AM on Monday.

How many of you do some bicep curls before going out on a date?

Remember, you don’t need to wait until January 1st to make a change. What are your resolutions? Don’t worry, you can count on me to always stay a little sweet and mostly sassy. 🤭

I have anxiety problems. Even the things that don’t matter much give me anxiety. Like I stress about keeping my salad waiting when sweetgreen notified me my order was ready for pickup.

I think most people come on here because they’re lonely. Thoughts?
