I have 200k in HYS. Currently have 1k in BTC. Id like to start DCA to diversify my investments. How do you recommend this? Should I buy a bunch outright and then start investing 5-10% of each paycheck?

Assuming you’re trying to DCA on investments other than Bitcoin, I would determine how much of that $200k you want to keep liquid (probably no more than $50k, but you need to make that call yourself based on your emergency fund needs) and then invest like $5k a week over the next few months as well as investing some out of your paychecks.

Aim for broad market ETFs; VOO, VTI, and QQQ are the popular ones in this bowl.

I have a lot of exposure to big tech and sp500 across my brokerage account and retirement accounts. I recently opened a Roth IRA and have 6k in it to invest. I know the default strategy is to invest in a fund that tracks sp500 but I do that everywhere else regularly. Is there anything else like VYM you recommend? I’m targeting dividend growth ones since it’s a Roth IRA ..

Anyone please help me understand what would be my monthly salary that will get credited, with/without the tax deduction on monthly basis.

And I'm new to all this I don't know what is variable pay, basic etc. Please help understand this by writing few description on above points. Also by submitting the home rent agreement how much will be saving, and will that only be sufficient or i can add more bills to avoid the dedication. If yes what types of bills i can submit like fuel bills etc.

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.

Situation: got an offer from firm X; highly likely to get a better offer from firm Y but official offer would take a couple of more weeks in best case scenario. However, firm X’s offer validity about to run out. Would you: (1) accept X’s offer now but rescind later if Y converts (2) ask X for additional time to decide (they’re “prestigious” and may not offer additional time...) (3) Play straight, decline X and hope Y converts (4) any other creative ideas ...???
