I need to make a quick decision- need to sign the lease today. I make about $5400/month net. I found a 1 bedroom in the city for 1800+200 for parking. All housing expenses considered, I’d be spending 43% of my monthly take home on living expenses. Is this dumb?

Has anyone sold shares/options during a tender offer? Tax advisor is quoting 2,500-3k to run tax analysis. Seems steep. Has anyone done this before? Reasonable fee? My tax setup couldn’t be more basic

Is it possible to make a million in any sales position? I see so many classes and books on how to be a millionaire by selling. Seems like BS.

Anyone made the transition from NYC to Austin?

New to options. Why do you all buy UVXY options and not the ETF itself when u think the market is going to tank? Don’t options present the added complexity of vol and risk of order not filling?

Reposting in case someone out there didn’t see my last one. Looking for a house swap in Manhattan/BK for ours here in Oakland. We have a big 4 bedroom Craftsman, yard, close to all the outdoorsy beaches, redwoods, hiking, Tahoe, Muir Woods etc stuff and SF. The air is finally clearing up. We need a 2 bedroom. Need to come back to NY and see my people. DM if interested.

My fiancé and I are first time home buyers (both 28 yo) and would like to know what makes more sense: buying an expensive home or buying a lower cost one. Our combined income is around 400K but since we just began working post school, our savings are only $70K right now (also 30K in student loan debt). We’re buying in a high property tax state where taxes could be 4% (think 12K taxes on 600K home). Should we get a 500K house or get a 800K - 900K (which represents most I’m willing to spend)

Do you save tax by showing HRA even if you have self-owned&occupied property ?

Decided to take the plunge and sign up for matrimony websites. Are they worth the time, investment and money? Any success stories? I am a guy, if that matters.

529 NY question. I want to setup an account for my daughter. Planning to contribute $10K to maximize the tax deduction as a married couple.
(1) Should my wife and I setup two accounts for our daughter with $5K each? Or ok to setup a single account under one of our names?
(2) Understand $10K is below the annual gift tax but 529 is considered a gift. Is it good practise to document this in some shape/form? Like a one page doc that my wife and I sign stating we gifted to a 529 $10K in 2022.
Thanks

Will likely be moving to the city soon and am wondering if there is anything in particular that will increase my chances as I explore housing options. I’ll likely make about 60/70x the rent with no need for a guarantor. Is that something that will set me ahead of the competition?

What’s the easiest way to move over from federal consulting to a federal job that is of equal or higher rank?

It’s been painfully slow this past month in my department (corporate law) and I had low hours throughout the summer. I’ve never refused work and have always sent an email to partners when I had slower months asking for more work. I’m definitely not going to hit my target. Should I be worried? I know I’m not the only one in this position but it’s still nerve wracking. Any advise on how to control your anxiety during those times?
