I have my whole 401k in a target date fund with a 30 year horizon. Should I do anything different or just keep DCA-ing with every paycheck? Is now the time to increase contributions?

Yes remember you’re a long term investor this is a blip on the radar. Buy low!

Keep buying. Increase contributions if you can. I prefer buying the underlying index funds instead of a TDF, but that's just me.

like

Hey nothing wrong with that. Honestly TDFs are best for like 90%+ of people. You're doing great so just keep buying while prices are low.

like

I would look at the expense ratios as the TDF may be higher than an index fund as they are more actively managed

I also have a Roth IRA in a growth fund that’s hurting right about now. Keep the monthly contributions there too?

Keep buying while the market is low.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs).

I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Thoughts on buying xem?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Who else is buying?

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
