I want to buy my current rental house from my landlord (she wants to sell) and we both want to not use a real estate agent and split the savings in commissions between us.

Does anyone know how much a real estate attorney might charge for helping us with a very standard sales contract in California. Or maybe an agent/broker ago would just handle the contract for a flat fee.

How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or?? They are too young for earned income and I don’t own a business so no IRA investing opportunities here.

Assuming you didn’t pay them off completely, how much were your student loans when you left biglaw? And what was your salary in your new role? How did that work out for you?

Making $97k this year and not sure where it all went. I feel I should have more saved. Rent is $2,300 and my pet is about $200 a month (food,insurance)

I'm working on a Fintech startup related to commercial banking pricing. We would like to do some "expert interviews" with current RMs (we would compensate your time.) We want to better understand the friction points when it comes to price C&I or CRE loans. Please DM me if you are interested.

We are not looking for any private information, but more anecdotal evidence of issues that can be improved.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL.

Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?

Hi all I’m new and ignorant to be blunt. I finally found a financial coach to at least start my journey on becoming debt free as my savings is pretty pathetic. But who should I ask advice on my 401k & IRA? I have no idea if I’m investing smartly. I have reviewed the Bogleheads’ Guide to Market Indexes which I feel is helpful so far. I am 40 so not exactly young. Thank you!

I have approx. $1M inherited wealth and looking for some investment ideas for easy liquidation options. Ideas ?

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
