As a single person, is it weird to buy a big 4 bedroom house instead of a 1 bedroom condo?

When you all buy a stock how much do you normally throw in? Realizing I have a few where I’ve thrown 2-5k are worth my time. While throwing 200 doesn’t do anything. Great if it goes up 100p but that’s just 200

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

35/m sole earner for a family with 2 kids. Want a life insurance with a ~$2m payout (to cover nice funeral, mortgage, kids college, spending money for the wife until she finds husband no.2 etc). Should I go with term, permanent or one indexed to a fund? Also, should I get one policy or is there any advantage to taking out multiple?

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

If you could go back in time what would you tell yourself before taking out student loans?

Had my first egg retrieval a few weeks ago. Still trying to comprehend what happened. All my ultrasounds and blood work came back perfect. In the end, I had 30 follicles and they were only able to retrieve 3 eggs. Our embryologist said my egg quality was very poor and one had been dead for a long time. None of my tests ever indicated any issues. I have tested my egg reserve twice and everything came back normal. Any thoughts/advice? I’m really at a loss for words.
