Need some ideas on how to handle something. My Father who is older and very guarded emotionally, recently gifted me with a locket that has great sentiment. It’s plated gold and not expensive to purchase, but the sentiment is immeasurable. I’m afraid if I wear it I will eventually ruin it. Debated buying another one to wear regularly or having one made out of real gold. Thoughts?

Will having it in a box the entire time you own bring you joy? For me personally, I’d wear it and enjoy it.

My experience with gold plated necklaces is that the plating lasts pretty long as long as you’re not wearing it in the shower or touching it too much. You can also have it re-plated. I mean, not usually the most cost effective option, but it could make sense because it’s sentimental.

Need some advice for investing, I make a base salary of 180k - meaning after taxes and 401k etc I take home 9k per month. Child care , living expenses - 4-4.5k, investments in india - 2.5k, I have up to 2-2.5k left every month. Should I be putting all of it in ETFs ? That would be about 33%-25% of my salary. I put my bonuses and stocks in savings accounts and CDs for my kid. Thoughts? Thank you!

Do I ask my OBGYN or my IVF Dr for this prescription? My obgyn is a believer that a baby is nature’s choice; she didn't give me anything during my last pregnancy so I’m not sure how helpful she’d be this time.
