Not yet. Wait until it stabilizes. Dow will probably drop another 3-5K before that.

So you don’t “buy up stocks when the market is at a massive low” as two of my coworkers are insisting?

Just up your contributions if you’re not maxed out and do nothing else.

Terrible unless you want to risk going in low now with hope the big boys will do the same and cause an increase and you sell high fast. (Bc it’ll drop again... essentially short the market but you’d have to manage closely and take the risk)

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???
