I just made a decision to move back to the city from living with my parents. I should feel excited but I don’t because I feel guilty that I should be saving money instead.

I e-filed my tax return around 3/20, received federal return in early april, but no news for NYS one. Is this normal? When I checked on the NYS website it just says that it’s being processed and no further information available 😢

I’m planning on getting my real estate license this spring! My biggest hesitation is that I currently live downtown Chicago and do not own a car. I really do not want to buy or lease a car as the area I live in requires a garage spot to park. Is it realistic to believe that I can be a real estate agent in Chicago if I rely on Uber/CTA?!

Two more semesters of grad school left. Should I take out loans for it or pay it out of my 401k?

My fiancé and I both have the CSR card and Freedom Unlimited combo and love them. We are thinking of adding another card and we were considering the Amex Platinum (to diversity transfer partners) or likely a United card for lounge access since we live in Chicago.

Does anyone else have both CSR and Amex Platinum? Would you recommend?

Anybody open to take a look at a few accounting prompts I did for an interview? I’m stuck on one part and would like some advice. Not too familiar with the treatment of cancellation of debt between entity partnerships.

Thanks in advance!!

New to DC and consulting. Have to file taxes in several states. Would love recommendations for tax prep companies and/or accountants in the NW DC area. Thank you in advance 😊

Landlord was supposed to update my current lease after I signed for a unit in the same building starting a month earlier. Just let me know they took June rent because the old lease was never updated. The agreement was made over the phone, but I have an email asking for confirmation of the change for July that they never responded to. Can I do anything to get rent back?

What are some of the best books you’ve read about people and investing? Such as dealing with people (business psychology almost) and then investing (real estate more specifically)!

I am looking for books that give practical advice, not just big picture theory and motivation.

People worrying today should read books on trading psychology! Not being patronizing- it will help you in the future, not just for investments but for doing better in life!

My partner and I are considering getting the 2018 Honda CR-V EX-L for $28k used, mainly for the adaptive cruise control and lane centering assist feature. Is this reasonable and still have fire goals? Does it matter what out income, age and net worth are?

Ok I’m brand new to the real estate world and want to start with wholesale real estate before becoming licensed.
Acting as the middle man, whenI have a seller, investor, and title company secured…how can I ensure access to the property if I don’t plan to ever actually be at the property? I want to have the findings, make the negotiations and get a cut for the deal but not actually be the one in person at the property. Someone advise please !!

Hi Experts,

Suggest me some debt funds. Looking for investment for 3-5 years.

Anyone work on a campaign but lose? What did you do next in your career? How did you reframe the loss to advance your career?

As a side-hustle for the past 18 months I was the Communications Director of a campaign for Congress. We had our primary last night and it didn't go as we hoped. At 24 years old, it was a great early experience, I learned a lot, and we have a lot to be proud of, but I'm still reflecting on why we fell short, and deciding how I want to move forward.

I’ll preface with I’m new at this and learning. But I’m researching if I should do an IRA or back door Roth IRA. And maybe I don’t fully understand how taxes work but what is the benefit of a Roth? From my understanding, the amount of tax you pay is mainly based on your tax bracket. Wouldn’t I pay far less taxes (thus inadvertently getting more money) with a traditional Ira since me being retired would put me in a lower tax bracket than me well along in my career?

Rolling off surge work and onto my first client project. Anything I need to be aware of for folks that recently have done it?

Obligatory financial info post. 1) size of firm, 2) billable requirements, 3) salary, 4) bonus, 5) quality of life, 6) debt, and and 7) family/married/single. Go!

Does anyone have experience working for a ALSP? How does compensation work (pay and benefits)? Are you an employee or technically an IC? Do you have billable requirements like at a firm? How do you think it prepared you to potentially move in house? I'm currently at a firm but thinking of taking a position with an ALSP but my goal is to go in house.

Great restaurants for a birthday dinner date? Looking for something romantic but not the “trendy but not actually that good” type of places, food quality is more important

On the verge of taking two weeks off work (doc gave me a note) but I feel guilty for the work my team will have to absorb. Transitioning medications and I'm a mess, but I want to push through even though there's really no down side except the fear I won't be taken seriously at work.
I can't envision how to spend the time - what if I sleep or mope all day? If you took a LOA what did you do with it and did it help you stabilize & function better?

I’m really not cut out for corporate America. I’m only 3 months into my new job and my anxiety is through the roof again. I don’t see a way out to make a decent living for myself. I feel lost and tired. I cried today and feel incapable even though I know I really tried my best.

Guys - i just want to be calm and not anxious and not worried about my career and what other people think of me. If I succeed I succeed if not then it is what it is.

Started a new job and my anxiety has never been higher. There is so much adjustment and change in this busy time and I feel like I’m so behind. It’s only been a week and I already feel like a failure.

I’ve been feeling like my new project is super draining. I’m constantly working. Learning new things but my client team has some very difficult personalities. How do just not care as much?

Does anyone hate the weekends? No (or less) work to distract you.

Dreading work today. I’m feeling so anxious

It’s always 5:30am by the time I start falling asleep. I don’t know how to flip this pattern without benzos. I hate daytime and the sun.

Does anyone else struggle to accept your diagnosis? I’ve had two therapists suggest I try medication, but I can’t help feeling like I’m just too weak to handle the challenges of the world. That medication is the “easy way out”. In weekly therapy (+other lifestyle changes), but my anxiety/depression just seems to be getting worse.

I just wanted to thank all you folks that contribute to this bowl. For me personally, its helpful to know that i’m not alone with struggles that we all seem to face. Thanks!

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

I know my anxiety is getting in the way of my legal work. I have writer's block every time I need to prepare pleadings or a Response. Some harsh criticism my writing skills a year ago has really gotten to me. I realize I am being ridiculous, but if rational thinking were enough to overcome anxiety then none of us would be in here. Do any of you have go to methods for conquering your anxiety and just getting the work done?

I can’t function. I don’t have energy to do the smallest things. All I want to do is sleep. I don’t have to feel pain or deal with life when I sleep. I left my job because of this. I have a history of clinical depression and this is the worst episode I’ve ever experienced. I made an appointment with a therapist and to get on meds. Do I qualify for state disability even though I quit my job?

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Is it just me or does consulting really make you insecure about yourself - doing the best you can but can it ever be enough? Also, what’s with all the optics and crazy judgment all the time?

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to share something with you all that has helped my anxiety and overall well being. I started doing 10 minute mindfulness meditations daily and it has been the biggest game changer. I find so much more calm and peace throughout my day. I even do it in the middle of the work day if I feel myself getting reactive. I use the calm app (they send you 40% off the 1 year subscription) and they have great material! Hope this helps. Have a blessed day everyone!

Thinking of getting the semicolon tattoo as a reminder to myself of my growth, but at the same time I am afraid that if seen on the job I will get questions I do not want to answer

I'd want it (cont)

I'd be interested in talking with anyone about how my faith got me through my depression. I'm in the Bay Area and could meet in person.
