I’m struggling at the moment to keep savings for future things like buying a house or travelling. It’s hard to keep on top of paying my rent and car, and then having little to spend but there’s always something to pay for! How do you balance your bills/money in order to get some savings?

I don't lol. I'm very much living paycheck to paycheck right now. I had been doing decent building my savings up, but then my car broke down and I had to spend $3k on repairs which pretty much wiped out everything I'd saved. I'm trying to get started again, but it's really hard to do when everything from rent to gas to groceries is so expensive.

Yes everything is expensive! I don’t think I’d be able to buy for a very long time!

So I have family situation I've been dealing with and yesterday at a company function outside the office, my supervisor brought it up in front of a bunch of people. First of all highly inappropriate, but also it's nobody's business. She's made comments before outside of work about how her boss is gay, blah blah blah. I'm just at a loss. Should I report it to HR? And if I do, how do I do it without it being known that it came from me??

How do real estate lenders take cash flow into consideration? For example, typically I would probably only be approved for a $500k loan ($125k comp and $100k for down payment), but if I’m buying a multi-family home and planning to live in a unit and rent the others, will lenders approve a bigger loan?

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

Howdy! Has anyone ever biked the fire island seashore? If so, was it as awesome as I'd expect it to be, and were you able to find bikes to rent that could handle it?

I understand there used to be fat tire bike rentals at Robert Moses, but the pandemic seems to have closed that down permanently.

I want to do this ride so much I'm thinking of buying a pair of lectric foldables for myself and my partner, then just immediately selling them at a loss - but I'd prefer something easier logistically!

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
