Opening a drop ship store isn’t lucrative anymore unless you’re lucky or good at marketing, especially considering the supply chain risks in the news. You’d have better luck just finding a higher paying job with a salary that could cover all of your family’s expenses.

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements.

I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

1:1 with my boss, one of the areas of improvement was: “be more vocal”.

Being an immigrant who struggles a lot with the language barrier is just super hard to digest this. I do my best, he doesn’t know how hard is keeping a Google Translate tab open on my browser all day long, he doesn’t know when people look to you because you sound “funny”. Just wanted to vent it, and say for all the leaders out there, if you want us to be more vocal, give us a chance to be heard with our own voice and truth
