Just returned to the US after 2 years in London. Still have money sitting in off-shore GBP account. Should I invest through the off-shore bank or try to convert to USD, transfer into US & invest here?

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).

Since it's EOY, it should be fun to compare notes on our our past investments, in terms of returns and strategies, to help us in the new year ahead.

So here I start with mine: From early last year around the start of the pandemic to today, I have grown my investment (cash + IRAs) from about $1M to about $3.4M today. My Fidelity chart below:

I wonder how many here are doing better, or similar, or worse than this. How's your overall investment doing, and what your chart looks like?

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
