Is 3.0% for a 30 year fixed loan an 0 points good? I messed up on my initial loan and I really need to refinance and while I think it’s good, I also thought my last loan at 4.5% was good as well. I’m clearly an idiot and need advice. Sorry if this question seems stupid.

Wtf you aren't an idiot. 4.5 percent was an amazing rate not too long ago. Things have changed. That said, i got quoted 3 percent 3 months ago. I'm confident that if you keep shopping you can probably find something under 3.

Just was quoted 2.85% with no points, 30 fixed, over 550k.

Stock price has been cut in half since then, along with my RSU value. 😭 how do I cope?

Potentially dumb question here: I am starting law school soon and will not be employed (net income of $0 assuming I don’t get a good summer internship next summer).

I’d just rebuy all of the same stocks immediately… am I missing something?

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
