My dad is looking for a bank account that offers low to $0 fees for outgoing international wire transfers, any ideas on any? Anything other than Chase Sapphire Banking, thanks!

I’d stick with any US bank that your dad likes and then also open an account with TransferWise to make and receive any international payments.

Haven’t found anyone that beats them yet. Fast and very transparent fees.

City bank allows free international transfers to other international citi accounts. Not the free wire transfer, but an option to look into.

A1/SA1 Briefly Looked into TransferWise and fees were pretty high...sending 10k to Nigeria would cost ~$100 in fees...

Don’t send money to the Prince looking for your help!

Remitly gives a better rate than Transferwise. Checkout Passbook by Remitly. No fee banking with $2 back on international transfers. $2 might be peanuts but better than nothing. And yes, no fees.

Ah did not realize that. Sorry for misleading y’all folks.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Hello all!

Am I correct in my understanding that:

Over a certain income ($76k as of 2021), a single person CANNOT make tax-free contributions to a traditional IRA if you have a workplace retirement plan?

In my example, I have a work 401k, and my adjusted gross income is over (or just about hovering) at the 76k limit. This means I can't make pre-tax contributions to a traditional IRA, so I should just go for a Roth?

My fiancé and I (ages 30 and 31) are about to buy a house. We would put down 10% for a 835k purchase price. Our combined income is $265k. We both have around 7-10k left in emergency funds (each) and combined about 200k for retirement. Our mortgage is $4,500 a month and we split a car payment for $800. Is this an okay financial decision or should we have bought a cheaper house/saved more?
