First time homebuyer here. Budget for a home is about $400k, looking for something with a good sized backyard where the kids can play, garden, have chickens, etc etc.

How common are foundation issues in DFW, specifically south like Red Oak/Glenn Heights? Looking at a home that looks great but learned it had foundation raised in 2020. Don’t want this to kill this home for us but aware it could.

Thanks!

Anybody in here trade options? I trade Iron Condors and have been having success with that but would love to hear what other people have been doing

I just logged in to the Chase app and it’s asking for my income to keep my profile up to date. Is this normal? It says it’s a way for them to consider me for credit limit increases but any reason not to share?

Thoughts on the new Chase Freedom Flex?

Does anyone know if the 10% penalty and if taxes are waived on a death of a beneficiary? A friend of mine’s 17 year old pass away. I was wondering due to the circumstance, is there any way he can get around paying extra money by doing a 1035 exchange, rollover, withdrawal. Anything out there? Suggestion are welcome.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Has anyone here participated in the year long remote year program? My company is fully remote in the US and is in general supportive of me going but concerned about local and international tax liability. Remote year doesn’t share tax advice and our HR team is small. Curious to hear from people at companies who have done it before and if there were any issues from a tax or payroll perspective. Trying to get the formal approval from my company before officially signing up, advice welcome!

IBD came to states at 8. My cousins back home are getting arrange married. My parents are starting to pressure me and pity me.

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.
