Parents, what are you doing for college funds?

I want to start saving for my kid and don't know where to start. Do you recommend a bank over the others for this matter?

Any superb restaurant recommendations in vail? My wife and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary and we just had our first child. Since most dinners these days entail standing over our kitchen island, want to go all out on the food. We already have Matsuhisa and Mt. Standard lined up, curious to hear about any others!

How does the investment declaration work at cognizant? Can i declare only 80c for now? Or even hra or loan details can be declared now itself with valid proof? I read somewhere that these details have to be declared in November with documents. Can anyone help in this?

Which renters insurance do you use?

Apartment needs it

Can you have rental properties generating income while on a visa in the US?

So possibly silly refinancing question: my understanding of refinancing is that if interest rates lower, you basically start a new mortgage with a new bank at lower rates and pay off your old mortgage. With this, there's some closing costs associated.

Assuming your old bank doesn't want to lose your business (aka, interest payments), why don't they offer to simply reduce the interest rate on your mortgage to what they're currently offering customers?

Have 4 rental properties with 1.3 mil in mortgage. I heard that mortgage interest deduction is capped at 750k. Is it true?

I’ve been listening to “millionaires unveiled” (highly recommend for FIRE content) and it seems like every other guest ends up doing real estate investing. If you do it, what books or online courses would you recommend to get started? If you have experience in real estate investing, would you ultimately recommend it?

What would you do if you had 50k lying around in savings? What are sound investment options out there?

I wish people would think clearly and hard about having children beforehand. Working as a school counselor and a youth therapist, so much trauma starts early simply because parents don't know any better or do what they were taught. It's tough when it isn't abuse or neglect, but it's still having a negative impact on the child's life. Should I recommend family therapy? Is it overstepping to recommend the parent go to private therapy as well?

Would you end a relationship if your parents do not like your other half? Obviously you have your fair share of problems in the relationship and your parents see that you are not growing financially and simply watching getting stuck in the same spot. My parents don't like her because I have child that she had problems with him because they do not get along at all. She has a son and I do get along with him attend to his boxing practices I would drop him off to school everyday. What would you do?

Is $78k enough for starting salary in SF? I’m splitting rent with girlfriend, so won’t be much more than what I pay now in Chicago, under a $63k salary. Is it a smart move?

Benz C43 AMG, BMW M340i xdrive, or Audi RS3?

Which would you guys choose? Male 25yrs old - should I lease?

My wife and I are looking for cottages in the Ellijay / Blue Ridge area. Anyone know of areas around that are similar to buy?

My parents act extremely needy and constantly guilt-trip me for moving out of India. They literally said that they didn't get anything in return for raising and educating us. Isn't it a parent's responsibility to raise their kids? Honestly, they lose my respect every time they do so. I understand if they need more help and support and I'm willing to provide them that, but if they expect me to live with them 24x7, I just can't do that. I've always wanted to live on my own and away from them.

Can somebody explain why the stimmy money didn’t allow pregnant women to claim the child and receive more money?

I’ve never owned a car before.

I have $6k disposable/month but am deciding to stick to buying a cheap used car for <10k OTD.

Truly tired of over thinking and being manipulated by car dealers.

Can anyone relate?

Hi All,
Really need some input. We have our new construction done by April 2023. Builder is giving us 28,000 credits which can be used towards closing cost and buy lock rate for 6 months from now and giving us the interest rate for 6.75% for 30 years from US bank. But I also spoke to credit union they give us 5 ARM for 5.5% but can lock rate in feb 2023. So should go with the US bank with 6.75% plus incentives or wait till feb 2023 and thn lock rates(us bank doesn’t give us ARM rates).

TikTok or Cepheid Biotech
Hey guys, I need to make a decision today on whether I want to start a career as a Talent Sourcer at TikTok or as a Onboarding Specialist at Cepheid, a Biotechnology company. Both in the Bay Area at $35 per hour and both are currently WFH. The TikTok position is less stable and very numbers driven, while the Onboarding position is more “secure” but less exciting. I am overthinking the fact that I would need to be presenting orientations for hours a day, and could be shy

I spent the first half of 2016 infront of my computer.
