Just got the Venture X and planning to hit the SUB spend by buying stablecoin on Crypto dot com. Is there a risk that Capital One won’t honor this spend or will try to clawback the points?

Friends I’d love some help- Finally had a transparent convo w my parents about their finances. They were hit very hard in 2008 in their mid 50s, have recovered a bit but now they’re 65+ and need some advice. They have roughly $250k home equity (and ~$230k mortgage at 3.1%). $90k cash. Then $250-300k in IRA (80/20 equities/fixed income). Get ~$4k/month combined social security. No long term care insurance. Use Medicare + pay $250/month for supplemental health care.

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!

Hi, I know this isn't the place to seek tax advice. I haven't sold a car so this doesn't apply to me just yet, but was curious on the overall topic and people's experiences if they've dealt with this.
If I bought a car and sold it for less than the initial purchase price, would I pay taxes on the difference between the sale price and cost basis? If so how would I determine my basis in such a rapidly depreciating asset? Trying to decide if selling is worth the potential hassle. TIA

keep renting or buy a condo? 24F, planning to end up in Chicago long term and looking along the stretch of LSD from Old Town to Lakeview but the HOA fees & taxes make me question if it's even worth it... but also great interest rates right now. biggest reason I'm looking to buy is to have my own space and hopefully not move for awhile lol, also hate thinking of how I could put the $ I spend on rent toward a mortgage or something. anyone else been in a similar situation or have any advice?
