What FIRE blogs do you recommend?

And what would you say has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?

Dude, real estate is a bubble which may come crashing down with trumps tax cut

There we go again. OP you apparently haven't learnt much if real estate is your first choice of investment.

Good linking on those blogs, OP. Any more recommended ones by the group would be appreciated.

Hi strangers, tell me what to do with my money 🤠

I’m 22 years old still living with my parents with minimal expenses. I make $65k, maxed out my 401k, have no debt, $30k in an HYSA, and $13k in a brokerage account. When I move out in 6 months or so, I estimate I’ll need $12k in an emergency fund. Should I put everything except that in my brokerage account? I hate that I have so much in the so called “high yield” account only making 0.45%
