Is direct lending/private credit technically buy side?

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.

Should I be reducing my contribution to my 401k at the moment? Based on the drastic 🐻 market?

I just heard recently that if you refinance and your house appraises at 20% more than the amount owed, you can remove PMI. Is this correct? Getting a divorce and trying to keep the house but moving from a VA to a traditional loan and would rather not pay PMI if I don’t have to. House was purchased for $460k no money down (VA loan), refinanced at $450k to lower payments $400/month, now have $430k left on the loan... would it have to appraise for $516k?

401k Roth or traditional 401k?

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

Thoughts on vanguard money market funds to replace HYSA in today’s market?

My husband and I have saved up about $80K and it’s just sitting in our bank account. We thought we were going to buy a townhome but with the crazy inflated prices we decided not to since we like where we live currently (location could not be better and rent is crazy cheap at only $700 a month). How should we invest our money in the meantime while we save up for a house?

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?

Probably a stupid question for most of you, so apologies: if I invest $10k in stocks/bonds combo, make $400 profit, and decide to withdraw 10k after 4 months. Do I pay taxes on that or taxes kick in once I go above the amount of $ I invested?

Can someone provide some knowledge here? I’ve recently saved $100K and have a chance to invest this into an investment property which will wipe out most of my savings.
