I'm just out of residency so I still have a lot of bills to balance along with loans. Do you think it's better to work with a financial advisor, or do you prefer to handle finances on your own?

I get where you're coming from. Some folks like to handle money on their own, but teaming up with a financial advisor can be super helpful, especially when dealing with big loans and bills.

Big law attorney here and wife is a physician. We both came out of school with substantial student loan debt as you can imagine. I have found it valuable to work with a financial advisor to get clarity of mind to a plan of action and target.

P.s. happy to provide an intro if interested.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue.

CTC looks high due to this stocks but effectively i would not be getting it for the 4 years. Also the yearly hike includes this stock component.
