I need help deciding if I should retake the GMAT in mid-December or just accept my score.. is a late retake worth the risk? My practice tests improved, but the official score didn’t reflect that, and I’m scared a last-minute test will derail my essays. At the same time, a slightly higher score could open doors. How do people weigh the upside vs the time crunch?

Depends where your score is at now and if it’s in the expected range for your target schools. It could go either way depending on that

After 7 years of actively managing my portfolio I have concluded that simple boring index funds are way to go. I did well in tech stocks but have some I'll times entries and exits which kinda took down profits. Do you still believe actively trading would produce better results. I have learned quite a lot in process but now I don't think I would be able to give same time when life gets busy with higher roles, kids etc. Anyone have been successful in managing their portfolios and beating indexes.
