Make $80k a year, pay $1,440 for rent, haven’t grown my savings in 2 years. Is it me, or Sf?

Honestly I think it's SF. It's not just the Rent, it's the expensive public trans, groceries, places to eat, gas, etc.

If you make below $117K in SF you're considered low income.

It's definitely SF, everything else adds up fast ( going to Tahoe for a weekend, dinner and wine, clothes, a regular cafe latte habit etc). If you want to save on an 80k a year job, you really need to have a budget and stick to it.

How much would you consider investing on a company that’s ‘high risk’ in the sense that it is a social-media? The goal is to sell in 3-5 years.

What other questions would you want answered? Is 200k for 20% unrealistic?

Anybody have an investment property? My father and I bought a small family property near my grandmother, far away from us. My Dad always teased that he can now deduct the travel when he goes to visit his mother, because he'll stop by the property and do some light maintenance.

I've been teasing back that that would be a good way to commit tax fraud. But this year I noticed that one of the deductions TurboTax explicitly prompts you to take is. . . airfare!

Is it legit to deduct this travel?

Can anyone tell me the glaring flaw in my strategy if there is one? In the next 2-3 months, I anticipate the election & Covid not slowing down and perhaps becoming more rampant. I think this will cause some correction in the market that will place it below what it is today. My plan is to slowly start liquidating, on green days , sell more, red days, buy less. If I’m wrong, I miss out on gains, if I’m right, it’ll hopefully save me a few years-a decade of trying to claw back money. Thoughts?
