I’m not good at planning vacations and have never really gone somewhere without having a reason to be there (ie. work, family, etc). How do you folks plan a trip, and, I know it varies by location, but what’s a good amount of money to set aside for vacation? Thanks, trying to learn how to unplug better.

Can anyone suggest if I can make a rental contract with my parents on a 1rupee stamp duty letter for below 1 lakh? If so, can I directly submit that to income tax department while filing the return for claiming refund or should I be disclosing in Deloitte Portal for last FY 2022. Also, I assume 11 months contract doesn't require to be registered with the govt? Please correct me if this is incorrect. Appreciate your suggestions on the above for tax benefit purpose..!!

I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?

Base is at 180k, after tax, insurance , 401k and ESPP (max out), my bi-weekly pay is only like 3600 (like 8000 monthly). Can people really save this kind of money, or most people rely on their stock appreciation?

What's the requirement to travel back to the US?

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.

That was a lame flyover! Where are the stealth planes?

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

Is it a good idea to invest in your UK pension fund over the max your employer will contribute/match? This may potentially lower income tax but then one can't really access the pension pot till retirement.

How common are credit checks for roles in accounting or finance positions? Will high utilization on credit card balances and low credit score be a deal breaker?

Newbie backdoor questions:
I have a traditional 401k with pwc, want to do backdoor

1. Is the process: traditional 401k -> rollover to traditional IRA -> conversion to Roth IRA?

2. In any step of this process, will I incur a tax penalty due to age (I'm in my 20s)?

Any help greatly appreciated!
