Any one have other Dallas based sources of income? Tips?

My base location is SAn Francisco, but I have not lived a single day in California this year (not planning on being there this year either). Am I eligible to get a refund on all my California taxes this year?

So student loans aren’t being forgiven this year…right? I think it’s time I open the flood gates and dump all I’ve been saving towards my loans. Or should I leave 10k in hopes of forgiveness later on?

Anyone here ever had any experience using a 203(k) loan? How wild you rate your experience?

Am I the only one that feels like we should have our student loans forgiven? (And I used to be adamantly opposed to ANY student loan forgiveness)
Our salaries continue to DECREASE as cost of living increases (not just “no raises”…decrease!…I realize I’m preaching to the choir haha). I can barely (and by “barely” I mean “can’t” TBH) make bills, pay for kids activities, etc (also a single mom of 3, for more context) LET ALONE pay my loans…
How do we start that movement?…
Who’s with me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

Does anyone know if it would be possible to negotiate scholarship $$ with Kellogg after I've already committed and submitted my deposit?

How much rent should I be paying?

Finding a house-share with enough working space for wfh seems expensive since I first moved to London 4 years ago - £900+ pcm and still competing for the room! Is it worth just trying to rent solo a little further out for ~£1,300pcm? Big issue is I’m only earning ~£45k with 4yoe.

Any good books to help get you up to speed on real estate finance matters?

By investing 50k/annum in NPS I can save 15k tax per year.. Suggest me I should opt for NPS or not?

Assalamo Alaikum brothers and sisters . Hoping to get some advice on 401K . I researched the target retirement fund and all of them have financial institutions so I don't want to invest in target date funds. I am not sure which funds I can invest in ? Can I ask fidelity for an alternative based on my beliefs? If so, what should I request ? Any IBMer here any insight on what options we have for 401K in Fidelity? JazakAllah Khair.

How much would you pay for a 6 bedroom 3 bath house in the Woodbridge area?

Currently looking at this house for $2850 utilities not included, but I was able to negotiate down to 2700 for a year lease.

I'm not interested in buying my own at this time.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

What do you do if you feel stuck in your career?

Is it possible to say "no" to a request, especially an urgent request, because you need to sleep? Sleep is like the #1 thing that keeps me from being suicidal but I feel like I can't say that...

Deloitte US just announced layoffs. Any other B4 started layoffs too ?

Can anyone share how the physical on boarding day goes? Is it just documents submission and verification? Or will there be anything else? And how long is the day? Do we have to stay in office 9-6 that day?

How do you care less? I know this sounds like a strange question but I feel like I try too hard and I end up getting burned out or feel resentment. It also isn’t getting me anywhere lol. No one is asking me to go above and beyond and now I feel like I should just collect the check and do the minimum at this point. However, I struggle with doing that because I may just be one of those over achievers.

In all sports, there is a coach. The coach explains the rules of the game, teaches you the skills to play it, identifies your strengths, and sees where you fit in on the team.
Life gets bigger as you get older - bigger decisions, bigger responsibilities, bigger problems. We have fewer coaches when we need them the most.
I am a life coach. Rather than telling you where to go next, I help you navigate back to how you got there. Therapy cuts down the branches, I dig up the root.
DM me for details❤️

Anyone reading or listening to anything focused on personal growth/development?

What aspect of your life are you struggling with right now?

This is a little random but I’ve gotten some peace from this community and I wonder if others share the same struggle. Does anyone else take care of mentally ill parents? I have one at home and some days are harder than others. I struggle to maintain confidence when all I’m hearing is terrible things about myself from someone who isn’t in their right mind. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an adult woman who is proud of my accomplishments, but some days are just hard to shake. Any advice?

Question: I’ve been friends with this person for 7 years. I’m pretty controversial in my views and when it gets too wild she just tells me to STFU and I do. Well, tonight she was pissing me off and I told her to STFU for the first time ever and she didn’t. I just up on her on a group call with our other friend and they’re asking if I’m ok… I keep telling them nothing I say is going to be helpful so I just won’t. I want to cuss her out and tell her about herself (relevant to the argument). Help
