Thanks so much!

Are there specific topics you would like the book to address?

Not necessarily. I’m open to any recommendations covering both broad or specific topics within personal finance.

I'm 1 year out of college and recently inherited $400k and have another $120k saved up from internships and work.

I know the standard thing to do is DCA into an index fund/ETF but is there anything else I should be doing to invest my money and hedge against inflation. I'm just concerned with the political turmoil going on and trying to figure out what ETFs I should be investing in and how much I should be putting in every week.

How would you recommend investing the money?

Does anyone have recommendations for an accountant (CPA)? I feel like word-of-mouth is going to be better than all the googling I’ve been doing.

My last accountant was not great and super unresponsive (Google was not helpful even though they had great reviews...) This year I’m going to need a decent accountant for tax planning purposes as my taxes will be more complicated. Feel free to DM directly

What do you do if you receive an IOI that is insultingly low? I feel like a lot of problems would be solved by putting a price on the company rather than go through the bid process.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
