I have $35k in cash. I’m quitting to go to school for five years making an abysmal stipend. Should I put $15k in a brokerage account and buy ETFs? Keeping enough to buy a used car eventually.

Hi folks, I had a quick question around remote work. My office is in San Francisco but I worked remotely from NJ for clients on the WC. How should I answer the question, “did you earn income working remotely by providing the services in a different state than the state you originally engaged employment with it”? If it matters, I never set foot in CA.

I don't agree with Dave Ramsey on many things but there's one thing that really made sense.

He says keep your investments mostly in equities even into retirement since you can take advantage of the market while retired since you don't plan to withdraw everything all at once. You also have to keep 3-4 years of expenses in savings in case of market downturns.

In retirement, when the market is high, withdraw from the market. When the market is low, withdraw from savings and replenish. Thoughts?
