I’m super burned out, I just turned 28 years old have around 150k saved up, would taking a year off with no job lined up to travel the world be a bad idea? Part of me really wants to do it, but then part of me is scared. Tbh I’m the stereotypical guy who always played it safe when it comes to life and feel like this could be fun and different, any advice/recommendations would be appreciated!

This recent bear market has wiped out $10k in gains i had made over the last 2 years. I am now back at my original investment and I’m wondering if I should pull out half my portfolio or just keep it in there and just buy some more? Could really use some advice

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

My girlfriend of 4 years routinely gets so angry at me in the form of “triggers.” She has childhood trauma from her terrible parents. I’ve gone to therapy with her to learn techniques to help, but when I do them during one of her triggers she says I didn’t do them. Later I’ll learn that she’s literally does not remember things I say and do when she’s in a dissociated state. Tonight it was because I didn’t get her oil changed like I said I would. Now she’s threatening to break up because idk how

Thinking about buying a small condo in SF.
The interest rate is low. I am thinking catching the buyer’s market here.

Questions:
1. Will the condo still appreciate in next 3-5 years? What might be the rate?
2. Is the appreciation rate relate to how new the building is?
3. Any strong reasons for why I should NOT buy?

Leisure travel is out of my budget, but I have been able to get a large number of travel credit card points to from referring friends after making a Facebook post.

Is a peloton worth it vs saving the money...?

I’ll preface with I’m new at this and learning. But I’m researching if I should do an IRA or back door Roth IRA. And maybe I don’t fully understand how taxes work but what is the benefit of a Roth? From my understanding, the amount of tax you pay is mainly based on your tax bracket. Wouldn’t I pay far less taxes (thus inadvertently getting more money) with a traditional Ira since me being retired would put me in a lower tax bracket than me well along in my career?

This is my first year filing taxes. I earned ~$103k on my W-2 with $20k of that coming from bonuses. I invested 20% of my income into my 401k throughout the year. I receive ~$250 in dividends each quarter through my investments and other than that I have no other income streams. My tax accountant is telling me I owe money this year but I figured I would receive a refund with the bonuses I received (taxed at ~45%) & my 401k investment. Does this seem odd or does it make sense? TIA!

How do I start? Single, no kids and no plan to change this. 260k in savings and 200k in 401k.
I think my number is $5m.

Seems totally impossible to get there based on salary alone? Even if I budget
