My husband and I have saved up about $80K and it’s just sitting in our bank account. We thought we were going to buy a townhome but with the crazy inflated prices we decided not to since we like where we live currently (location could not be better and rent is crazy cheap at only $700 a month). How should we invest our money in the meantime while we save up for a house?

Have you heard of stablecoin earn accounts on blockfi/celcius? It’s a USD savings account yielding 8-8.88% APY. Leaving your money in a fiat bank isn’t very bright mate.

Yeah I’ll probably retire before you it’s all good

700 a month . Where is that ?

@MC1 oh I’m sure there are cheaper places to rent, I meant I haven’t heard of cheaper in downtown SLC which is where I want to live. Most places right next to me charge about double than what I’m paying.

VOO or VTI , but can you hold out longer to buy a home if it dips ? Usually best to not invest it if you need the money short term

I like what PWC said. That’s what I would do too. If the market dips around 3 years then hold out a little longer. VTI or VOO will be your best bet. Just check out the charts in that time horizon

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.
