Paid all my credit card bills and still left with $100 in my account. Happy Friday guys 🍻🍷🍾

Curios to see how you guys log your down payment and remaining loan amount ( home , Auto etc ) in apps tracking net worth ?

Recently put 20% down cash for house which brought down the cash component of net worth but wondering how to balance this . Home equity ?

401(k) gurus - If I switched jobs in 2020, does the $19.5k pretax 401(k) contribution limit apply to each plan or is it across plans? Also, does it matter if my spouse (joint filing) is self employed and bootstrapping and is not enrolled in a 401(k) plan?

Cliche Question: I have 10k in cash ready to invest. My tolerance for risk is high. Anything valued too low your opinion?

Pro tip: live close to poorer people to feel rich. The feelings of wealth are extremely subjective and is mainly based on comparison

When a company reports bitcoin securities in their SEC filings, do the bitcoin securities get reported with the regular currency interest or is it a separate filing?

I’m considering day trading bitcoin... I’m claiming it’s possible to make 1k to 2k a month on this.

1. Any advice? Tools? Platforms?
2. How realistic is the 1 to 2k estimate

Thanks

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Hello,
I've recieved an offer from Morgan Stanley, my previous salary was around 6 Lpa and last offered was around 15 Lpa (WFH), I quoted 40 to 45% on top of that around 22 Lpa considering Mumbai location, WFO and Glassdoor pay range.
Did I just do a mistake by quoting too high a number? Please let me know your opinions.
