How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or??

Best everyday bank account and credit card in Australia for an expat couple?

I‘m moving to Australia with my partner and we don’t have a bank account and credit cards yet.

How much has stock options changed anyone’s life here? Just started at amazon and I received 1500 shares post split. But obviously the vesting schedule is so long over 4 years and morale certainly will be up and down. I feel I’d be crazy to walk away before then and miss out.

When beginning a piece of literature, I first help the kids access the relevant culture. I have used web quests, but I have found that the kids researching their choice of topics and creating Slides containing information and pics results in more students participating. Recently they researched heraldry for the Medieval Era and reproduced either a family crest that they found or created their own personal crest. Anyone have other activities they use?

What do you do for winter shoes and commuting?

I walk a total ~20 mins in between train/bus stations and then getting from the stop in the loop to the office.

What do I do come wintertime for boots? Do you wear them while you're in the office? Or do you bring dress shoes with you to change in to? I wear a suit to work, so what boots would be good for winter but also look decent with a suit? This is my first winter in Chicago (a socal transplant)

Thoughts on recording meetings. In Texas and have ADHD. I’ve been recording internal meetings for the past couple of weeks and my work product has improved exponentially. I’m able to go back and listen to the directions over again. In law school I had a note that gave me permission to do this. Is this taboo in a firm?

Any insights on Laughlin Constable? Looks like they’re hiring in the creative department 👀

Anyone have started preparing for Series 7 exams? What is the best study material to start with?

I don't have car experience but I'm going to buy my first car (used 2018). I don't have a mechanic to help test the car. Is it safe enough if I buy from a dealer with points inspection + low milage (< 30k km)+ clean carfax + contactless delivery? I have funds available to pay in full.

Anyone having experience with opening a brokerage account for an organization (single member llc ideally)? I have a question regarding the set up.

Dumb question but anyone know what’s going on with KO in 2021? End of 2020 had stock approaching $60/share but then it crashed below $50 in 2021.

For those of you invested primary in index funds, do you have a combination you'd recommend? I'm 31yrs and currently have about $400k invested in a few stocks, mutual funds and ETFs.

Is it financially irresponsible to buy a home that requires you to divert what you’re currently saving / investing monthly to pay the mortgage?

How strict are they with HSA reimbursements? It seems people keep all their receipts but I haven’t seen or heard any instances where the irs requested proof.

I have a recurring $30 charge on my credit card that I can’t figure out what it’s related to. The vendor name gives me nothing helpful and going back through emails, I don’t know what it might be - I’m not getting an invoice. It may very well be valid, but at this I just want to stop it and figure out what subscription lapses. How can I do that?

I’m originally from Brazil and most of my investments are allocated there.

Brazilian fixed income products are paying 13.25% returns and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea to secure this return in Brazil or if now it’s a good time to build a portfolio with US equities?

(90% of my money is on my Brazilian portfolio)

Will there be any tax implications from Venmo transactions in FY21 given the new fees they introduced earlier this year? Neither I nor any people I have transacted with this past year have noted that anything was for goods/services regardless if that was actually the case so am wondering if there will be any changes as to how things are accounted for or if any new forms are being issued.

Want to start saving/investing from this year. Got £11K and will have £2K a month to invest - any recommendations? I don’t want to take crazy risks, somewhere where this is steady long term growth. Have already maxed out pension and I assume next step is maxing out ISA? After that, what is best? (From UK)

I don’t get why even the most reputable financial news still try to attribute market moves to people. It’s not individual investors who are in control of day-to-day moves anymore, it’s algorithms.

Starting to get into investing and generally a pretty risk averse person so not out here trying to make fast money. What mediums do people generally use to invest? Think I’m too easily stressed to pick individual stocks, but happy to take suggestions for platforms for both. TIA!

Accidentally sold all my VOO stocks when I was trying to put in a trailing stop loss. 🥲 Feeling real crap.

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?

Next year, my wife and I will make $219,500 between us. If we contribute $15,500 to a traditional IRA, will that bring our MAGI down and make us eligible to contribute to a ROTH IRA as a married couple?

How do folks feel about I bonds right now? They’re earning 9+% at the moment.

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding. If I understand correctly, the sole disadvantage this has compared to a tax sheltered retirement account is that the quarterly dividends will be taxed? But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.
