For people who bought a house, what was the ratio of purchase price & your HHI when you closed? Our HHI will be 480k this year and we’re thinking of buying a 1.3M townhome on the east bay.

Sounds like you’re in a good range to me then! Good luck

200k. $1.4m. But I inherited a lot of money and am very grateful for it.

Rule of thumb is 1:3 ratio, but varies wildly on how much you have saved.

I am not from the US and taxes overwhelm me; the first few years I did them with TurboTax and it was fine but then I entered a domestic partnership and had a baby. I also bought a house (that I don’t live in), so I went to H&R Block to give it a try assuming they could advise me on optimizing my return, it seemed that they are completely transactional as the person is just typing numbers in a form. Any recommendations on how to navigate personal taxes with an actual advisor?

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
