Getting a $10k bonus. Should I pay off my $12k car loan at 2.99% or invest it? No other real debt except the house.

What’s the term on the loan? That interest rate is low enough I’d just invest if you’re going to be paying the car off anyway in the next 3 years.
If you instead want the mental relief of not having a loan, then that’s up to your preference and shouldn’t hurt you much either way you choose.

Yea. I guess I’m trying to see what would be better for me mentally. Lol.

Invest buddy. I have a 2.99 note too. Paying only the minimum plus $50 extra.

What are you investing in?

Hi! I'm currently interviewing (3/6 interviews so far) for for an appeals manager role for DME. The job entails not only to bill for dme (cms 1500) but also to follow up on any denials or appeals, amongst other administrative duties. My questions are is it typical to have 1 person doing both the billing and denials within a new vertical for all ins.? How difficult is billing for dme as I only have experience in gyn onc and lactation billing? What's a fair salary? I have 8+ yoe in rcm, no certs.

Need some FIRE advice please. I am currently 25 M, with 125k in savings across my 401k/ESPP/Personal Brokerage Acct. etc. I have no debt. Base salary of 125k with up to 25% bonus.

I contribute 20% to my pre tax (employer matches up to 6%) and 5% in my Roth 401k and 10% in my ESPP. I keep only what I need in my checking to pay rent and have some fun on the weekends, but all relative would you say that I am allocating my funds correctly. Huge believer in value investing and compound interest.
