Fiancé = male. Fiancée = female. By definition. No assumptions should be needed.

Pay debt, guaranteed ~18%. Can't get that anywhere else guaranteed and her debt will be your soon. Take the 18% savings and invest in cryptocurrency.

Whoa EY1. Did you just assume the fiancée's gender?! Triggered.

Do you consider your fiancé's debt to be equivalent to a debt of your own?

People getting triggered over something like this is triggering in it off itself. Of all the things in the world to complain about...

The debt is interest free (balance transfer). Yes, I do consider it my own debt. I help pay it down anytime I have extra $ but I want to keep investing as well.

How do you invest in crypto?????

Coinbase is one way

Well, if it's 0% interest, let it ride until the promotion is over. But I wouldn't recommend crypto!

D1 thanks for taking A1 down for me. And A1 I just wrote it from my shoes thinking what I would do for my wife. However it was me the male who had $5k debt when we met, so If I had to generalize it would be that men are more likely to have debt before marriage.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.

Hi Fishes, Is it possible to process h1b as cap exempt if I had worked on USA in h1b status for few months and if the visa is expired now, once I join a new employer.

Any parents under H1B? I was@looking to get an au pair for kids and got to know that I cannot host one because I don’t have a green card yet. Any options? I heard people get au pairs that have another year remaining in their visa but couldn’t find one yet

Hey everyone, moral issue here. My older brother is struggling with money and his mental health. I’m not so good with the mental health stuff but I do have a Robinhood account that has ~5k in it that I could give him to help him feel more comfortable. I make a tc of about 100k at 25 and he makes 50k working 2 jobs at 32. I can make that 5k back later in life, it would mean more to help him now when he needs it. Thoughts? All comments welcome. NOTE: I did help him find a therapist.

The 65% co-founder still seems dedicated and I think it’s largely because of sunk costs (this person put in most of the money). I don’t believe in the startup anymore, which seems to be a good indication it’s time to quit. Any advice for quitting and leaving your company in an even worse state as a result? Thanks 🙏
