I'm kind of thinking well done but shame on you at the same time http://www.wsj.com/articles/wall-street-as-landlord-blackstone-going-public-with-a-10-billion-bet-on-foreclosed-homes-1481020202

Whats the biggest tip you have for FIRE?

For me, I think “pay yourself first” is the most important. It forces me to save money first so I wouldn’t need to worry about making a budget for expenses, since I can see how much “disposable” money I have to spend.

I just started this recently. Each month, I allocate $1k of my pay to my brokerage acct and $1k to HYSA (to buy property). I max out 401k and do backdoor roth. And save all my bonus. So each yr, it’s around 70k: 24k + 20k + 6k + 20k bonus.

Should I put $20K towards my student loan balance of $230K before the no-interest period ends or max out my 401k, which I have contributed nothing to this year. I’m 25. Employee matches 4%.

I have two mortgages, one at 3% and one at 4.25%. Is there any benefit to paying either of them slightly higher than the minimum payment requirement (ie, maybe like $200/month more)? Additional factors to consider, my HYSA currently yields 3% and I am looking to buy another property in about 2 years and would prefer to not sell the either of the two properties currently on mortgage.

My hidden talent is finding houses I love that are way outside my price range.

Would you invest in individual stocks if you're invested in a fund that includes those stocks as well? Why or why not?

Is Argyle, TX good place to buy home and raise family?

My dad stole my identity a couple
years back and tanked my credit score
- brought it down to like 400. I've
been working towards fixing it so that
my boyfriend and I can buy a house in
the next year or so. This morning, I
checked my score after not looking at
it for a while and I'm in the mid 600s!
Y'all don't know how happy I am
about this lol

Anyone concerned with the dip in the market now? Both brokerage and 401k has taken hit. What are different things you folks are doing??

This might be the wrong place to ask but is getting a car worth it?

I think it’ll somewhat improve QOL but with parking, insurance, gas and financing costs I’m not sure spending almost 1K/month is a good idea at 22.

The other problem is that used cars are so damn expensive right now so I can’t just buy a used mx5 for 5-10K

Amex platinum vs CSR??

How do you all plan for retirement while in the Middle East (especially for European folks)? Did you sign up for your home country retirement plan while abroad ? (My home country offers it but at a very high cost)

I only have Reg left. I failed it once before. For those who have passed Reg what were some of things you focused on? Also if you have any study tips I would really appreciate it, tax has never come naturally to me.

Buying a house with monthly expense of $4900, although my current rent is only $2350. My total HHI with my husband is about $310K. I’m feeling weary of spending this much but we live in a HCOL area near a major city and we have high taxes. It’s hard to find anything decent under $800K. Should I just suck it up in order to be a homeowner?

From now on can we start saying WHY we think news = 🚀 🚀 🚀. Reason: people lose their minds when they see *bank/big corp + crypto* and forget to ask why the news = higher price.

Anyone trade stocks on the side? Not at a day trading level, but not buy-and-hold either...more like aim to hold 5-10 stocks at a time for 1-2 months and earn a decent short-term profit (10-15%).

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?
