PSA only because this has been asked 3 times in the last 24 hours. No, we don't know when the next big drop is coming. No, don't ask us which stocks to short. No, don't ask us if your 7/17 way OTM puts are gonna be ok. (Hint: they aren't).

Nobody knows the answer and don't take anyone's guess as fact. And certainly don't copy anyone's plays expecting them to be right.

My wife and I are 25. What are some checkpoints if I want to retire at 55? What do I need at 30, 35, 40 to make that happen? My number is $3.5 Million.

Me - 25 yo, $80k income, $20k bonus
Wife - 25 yo, $65k income, $5k bonus

Our net worth is at about $32k right now.

Thinking of buying my first home in 5-6 months. I also want to trade in my car and start leasing before it loses any more value. Would it be harder to buy a home if I get a car now?

Do you have any project/deals that needs 100% funding?

My dad stole my identity a couple
years back and tanked my credit score
- brought it down to like 400. I've
been working towards fixing it so that

checked my score after not looking at
it for a while and I'm in the mid 600s!
Y'all don't know how happy I am

If you were 24 and had $250k inheritance but had to spend the money to access it (can’t just put in stocks) what would you buy for good ROI? RE, pay for MBA, other ideas?

Hi all - figuring out loan options. Does anyone know if it’s better to choose:
A.) a longer term loan with a higher interest rate and overpay each month (0.5% higher interest, ~300 less in payment each month)
B.) a shorter term loan with a lower interest rate and meet the monthly payment exactly

Or how to calculate the better option?

Interested in others opinions.

Early 40s. No debt. Currently have ~50yrs worth of [annual expenses+15%] between savings, investments and 401k (not including future social security). Current savings ~1.5yrs [expenses+15%], 401k ~12yrs [expenses+15%], and investments ~37yrs [expenses+15%]

At what point would early retirement be a serious consideration for you, given no interest in increasing expenses (other than inflation) or any other substantial changes, with satisfaction in life outside work?

Those of you had massive MBA/Law school debt, 200k+ what's your plan? It feels like my net worth, even working in consulting will be negative for a long time -- how have people dealt with the massive debt, and the golden handcuffs of having to stay in a job that lets you stay afloat?

Thank you for starting this bowl! I just turned 50. I had my one and only child at 41 and went straight into menopause. My symptoms were perhaps confused with postbpatrum and nursing hormone symptoms but bow my hair is dry and frizzy yet somehow also oily and my skin lacks luster and I gain weight so easily. Working from home for eight months has definitely hanged my body shape and not for the better!

I saw a post about people looking for rental deals in Chicago.

My building is offering a promotion for anyone that's referred from a current resident. I get a discount credit on rent and you would get one month free, plus a $400 rental credit, plus a $500 Amazon gift card.

There's no move/out fees and rent varies from ~1600 to 2,000 depending if you want a studio, one-bed, or two-bed.

Just switched consulting firms and the work is a lot more interesting but man the people are really dull. Loads of events and everyone just sits around and drinks a bit. It’s the most basic conversations (weather, some sports).

Needs a big infusion of excitement and culture. People are nice enough just very bland.
