Hi-I have 120K in cash in HYSA. After keeping emergency fund aside. Still have 75-80K available that I plan to invest. After 401k, HSA, IRA and monthly expenses: we are left with 6K every month. So investing 12K every month in market. My worry is with that rate - it will take us 12-14 months to move the extra 75-80K mentioned above. However do not want to make a bulk move. Any advise how to plan the switch. At present have 60K invested in stocks. Thanks

Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

What’s your target retirement number and at what age do you plan to retire?
Of course I know it depends on a wide range of factors, but I’m curious to get a sample from this group.
Mine is $5M at 55.

How do you all plan for retirement while in the Middle East (especially for European folks)? Did you sign up for your home country retirement plan while abroad ? (My home country offers it but at a very high cost)

How do people afford to buy $1M houses in Chicago? Surely not everyone buying them is rich (which is somewhat of a subjective term). My wife and I are 30 and have a combined income of almost $300k and trying to buy something that expensive seems asinine yet people do it. Am I missing something?

If I were to invest $1000 today, would ADA be a good place to spend the money? Heard great things about it, but interested in knowing if this is the right time or if I’m late.

What are your favorite personal finance books? I just read Rich Habits and really liked it. I am also reading the Psychology of Money. Looking to read some more!

Recently received notice from landlord rent is going up ~20%. For reference, it is privately owned condo and did not sign at a COVID discounted rate. Super frustrated. What are others seeing for rent increases?

How much money do you keep in your savings account?

Partner quit their job, and according to job contract, have to pay back "training costs" since they left before an agreed-upon amount of time. When it comes to taxes, how should I treat this amount? In the past, I've been able to use a W2C if I payback sign-on bonus, but since the "training" was not income, not sure what to do.

ENBD is the crappiest bank in the UAE. Thank you

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

Thoughts on Sunrun as a stock investment? Buy or avoid?

Anyone with a leased car move from NJ to other states? If yes, could you please help me understand the process to get sales tax refund from NJ? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone gone to an estate sale in the city?

All else equal, is it easier to become direct admit PP rather than promoted to that role from SM or MD? Seems less obstacles. Thoughts?

Are dealerships not negotiating car prices right now due to the chip shortage and high demand for cars? Or is it just the used car market?

'22 Lexus GX460 or '22 GMC Yukon SLT?
Both cost around the same - Lexus is more reliable and likely holds its value better but the Yukon is bigger and likely even safer.

Does anyone here follow Your Auto Advocate (renamed Your Advocate Alliance) on YouTube? Trying to learn how to negotiate to buy my first car. As if I wasn’t nervous enough to negotiate pricing before I’m even more so with 2022 market situation. Just wondering if anyone has used that channel or others similar to buy a car for an agreeable price these days

Sub question: what's your favorite 90s-era car? Extra points for pics.

Porsche Macan S, cayenne coupe, or Audi RS5? 29M and I can easily see myself driving and loving all three options. I know they’re different but at this point I’m prioritizing:
- Looks
- “Sex Appeal”
- Comfortable enough ride

Hi All

Looking to purchase a 2019 Genesis G70 for 35k. Applied for Auto finance and got it approved from DCU at 4.5%.

I know the rates have increased recently but I think this is still high.

Any suggestions where I could get better rates with a good credit score and history?

Any Range Rover Velar owners/leaseholders here?

Would love to hear about the good, bad and ugly. TIA 😊🙏 Also about whether you own or lease it.

Bought my 911 last year for ~$120k. Only put 4,000 miles on it and seeing online values in the ~$130k range. Am I crazy for considering selling it? She's in perfect condition (even though she's my daily)

Thoughts on a m340i? I might just pull the trigger.
