If you want to day trade, check out the MarketWatch definition of "day trader". After that, if you still want to, focus on one asset class or you're fucked- the more boring and predictable, the better... like options on treasuries or options on a stock you know really well

I'd read as many books on the subject as you can. Self education is your best bet.

Curious what others risk tolerance / budget is for primary housing expense. Currently looking at houses and what I ‘can’ afford according to the math feels like way more house than I ‘should’ buy. For reference I’m a B4 7th yr partner. Last year total comp was around $1.8 and total other monthly fixed expenses are in the $20k/mo neighborhood. Just wondering how others approach this. Thanks.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

Recently switched jobs and need advice on 401K.

1) I have both Roth and traditional 401K. Can't change traditional 401K to Traditional IRA as I backdoor Roth and it complicates things.
2) does it make sense to move Roth 401 to Roth IRA to save on fees / have more options?
3) what would you invest in?

Current allocation:
FID 500 index (FXAIX): 58%,
FID Target 2055: 26%,
FID growth CO K6 (FGKFX): 12%,
FID bond - 4%

I'm a SINK making $110k/yr. in a LCOL area and my expenses hover around $2,500/mo. What kind of salary do I need to make to comfortably max out the accounts listed above and contribute to a taxable brokerage?

Are there any SINKs out there that can comfortably do this while still living for today? At what salary were you able to do so? I have one debt--a car payment $600/mo. @ 3.79%. Bought in August and plan to pay it off in 2023.
