How did it take you to pay of all your student loans from law school?

Hello Fishes,

I have joined hcl on 24 th sep 2021 and my last working day here is 18th May 2022.
Today I received my provisional full and final settlement and the payable amount is negative -11454. They are recovering the full AMPB amount which I got from September months.
I have heard from this platform only that hcl stopped the recovery police but still I got the negative fnf.

Robinhood just kicked me off their platform and I have no idea why. Now I need to quickly liquidate. Any recommendations to invest in mostly VOO without any fees and a nice UI for my phone? I need it to also connect to Mint.

What do you all think of Snowflake's businnes, stock and IPO? It is database business and competition is heating up. Is this something good for / worth investing in? Maybe a long hold for 15 years? it reminds me when Googl went public at $68 / share. What other businesses(business model expansion) can it expand into?

I just joined Robinhood, am new to stock market.. can you recommend some shares I should buy so I can make some money in next 6 months to 1 year. My financial situation is not great currently and was reading some blogs that this is right time to enter market, thanks

Hi! Pretty new to this concept, and really early within my career (only 3 months in). Currently on my company’s 401k plan, contributing well beyond the minimum to receive a match, and maxing the amount I can put in right now (25%). Dabbled a bit in options and stocks in general. Any advice, guides, or starting places you would give someone in my shoes? Thank you in advance!

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
