I’ve earned 6.3% on my 401k this year. Is that decent or do I need to look at reallocating?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Do anyone of you subscribe to the motley fool or any other stock advisor tools? Recommendations and thoughts on how useful they are?

Should I lower my contributions to my 401k and save up for a down payment faster? I want to start having multiple streams of income. Planning on getting a multi-family apartment but not living there since I want to buy a semi-cheaper house so it won’t be in a great area (Chicago). Has anybody done it and regretted buying a house as an investment?

Who's gonna quit after getting rich from BTC?

I started a few new business ( with debt) this year, and because the way my taxes looked with other losses it looks like I didn't make a ton of money. Now my credit dropped from 800 to 720 and I'm having trouble getting credit. Despite having a perfect payment history and fully able to cover all liabilities. Any way to get the credit up. If I pay off my liabilities then my credit history gets shot with young accounts. What's the best way to handle this?

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level.
