Question for the capital markets attorneys out there. Last night as we were crossing sig pages on a best efforts public shelf offering (common stock only), placement agent’s counsel provided one sig page to the SPA (for $330k) and said all other investors (for $1.4M) are purchasing pursuant to the prospectus and have elected not to sign the SPA. It was presented as totally normal, and how that banker’s investors typically invest in this kind of deal. Has anyone encountered this before?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

I have 10k extra to invest. How should I grow it? Any growth stocks to recommend?

I accepted a new offer and put in my notice this week and my company provided a counteroffer. The offer is lower than my new offer but I know it’s the best they can do. Financially I do need the money but I’m also tempted to stay because my current team is so great. I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?
