Question regarding tax saving -
I had bought medical insurance for my my parents and I on 17 Feb 2022 with 38K premium. Can I add this deduction in FY22-23 tax declaration.
PS - I have to show proof of payment by Jan 2023 and the next premium won't be paid before Feb. So how do I use this insurance for tax savings?

Any one into San Diego real estate market. Moving from east coast and considering buying a family home but nothing decent is less than 1 mill and property prices have jumped like 15-20% in one year.

I left a great team and high-visibility, high impact project with a client that loved me for a few more $$.

Had I stayed, I would have been festering on comp and constantly worried about my financial future.
Since I've left, I feel financially secure but listless and bored with a lame team on what I've discovered is a skeezy upsell.

Anyone else had to deal with this? Did you boomerang back?
