Question - I am selling my house and was planning on using some of the funds to pay off student loans.. however, with all the talk about student loan forgiveness, it makes me question if I would regret paying them off.

Can someone talk me off the ledge in one direction or the other? I am so torn on what makes most sense.

I do t think it’s fair mortgage companies take their own sweet time to process refinance applications while we continue to pay the higher interest rates until they the application is approved. I’ve requested a refinance on aug 3rd from 3.75 to 2.85 with my current lender but the background check has been taking forever. Nothing has really changed on my end other than a job change with a 15% hike in pay. Anyone else not icing the same trend ?

Any ideas to hedge against inflation? So far, put some in I-bonds and Fundrise. Post tax Returns are sub-par inflation and both have long lock-in periods. Other options in the mix are farmtogether and masterworks. Any feedback? Other suggestions?

Probably a dumb question but- I have a sole prop with some income this year. Starting my PC (s-corp) soon. I assumed that I’d need two different returns next year- one for my entity and one for the income when I was a sole prop. But I was curious whether I can merge the financial statements somehow. My concern is that my income as a sole prop will appear high because the s-corp will be responsible for liabilities in the latter half of the year. Any ideas? (Clearly not a tax attorney)

I'm a selling agent, and I'm having difficulty with one of my clients. She's asking way too much money for her house and she won't believe me when I say it's not going to sell. How long do I keep trying when I know it's basically a lost cause?

How do you all go about handling beneficiaries for your financial assets? Do you just put your family members down?

Any advice on if your specifically assigned practice area stalls due to factors you can’t control (e.g. rising interest rates causing borrowing to stop and your a loan documentation attorney)? Most other practice areas are full or don’t have additional work to dish out at the moment so I’m not sure what to do. I’m worried about not meeting billable requirements but don’t see much I can do.

I am almost 23 and don’t know much about the investment and savings vehicles/strategies that I should be using. IRAs, Roth IRA’s, long-term investments, how much I should be contributing/saving for financial success, etc. Any suggestions? I currently have $4,000 in savings, and a few thousand sitting in checking that I use regularly but try to not spend too much. Rent is $1600.

As everyone knows rents right now are super low. My current apartment in other units is going for about 30% less than what I'm paying. I've been in the same unit for 3 years but can't justify paying as much as I am. I also don't want to move. Anyone think I can drop the rent by 30% I've never been able to get that low. But we've never had a situation like this.

Does anyone use the Alight Smart Connect FSA at your firm? My client is struggling with them- apparently their FSA MasterCard has a majority of transactions declined, even co-pays, unless it is at a national company like CVS or Walgreens. Curious if anyone else has the same experience or if this is potentially a setup issue.

Today I was walking back to the hospital from my car some random guy came up to me and asked me for directions while I was still in the lot. I'm new so I told him I didn't know and he literally cussed me out in the parking lot and told me I was a horrible nurse and he was going to get me fired. Meanwhile I am a PHARMACIST. And before you ask yes he was.

Hello Fishes,
I recently attended interview with T-System Pune and Infosys, I cleared technical round in both of them, and I have already received an offer letter from T-System, But Infosys hasn't replied yet, after the document verification process. Should I wait for the reply or go ahead and accept offer from T-System?

I had a second round(which was a final round as well) of an interview couple of days back. But yet to receive any feedback on it. Normally how much time hr team takes for a revert? Waiting makes me feel anxious.

I'm having so much anxiety about my future. I am going to be an attorney in my country but things haven't worked out as planned and there's no job opportunities for financial crime compliance or regulatory compliance at my level. I'm planning to relocate to the US, I am skilled at policy writing, legal research and project mgmt. There's also transactional attorney career option. I don't know if it's necessary to become a US attorney to do what I love...I'm getting so much mixed advice.

Any thoughts on Pitch in LA?

Layoffs at Mullen BOS?

Started looking at jobs in private accounting. I scored interviews for a Staff Accountant, Junior Accountant, and Accounting Assistant. I just finished interviewing for the Staff Accountant position which feels very much like AP/AR and Bank Recs to start, similarly to the other two positions. Does the title matter? I want to be able to grow but at the same time I want to make sure I’m moving up positions in my job search so I’m exposed to harder/higher level work.

Hey guys, Im 25 and I have about 35k in the bank, 21k in retirement, 41k personal invested, 5k in crypto. No debt. Is it smart to invest more during this down market or save for a house/wedding or something else that’s smarter?

Can I afford a $2000 apartment?
I make a base of $120k. Take home is $7k monthly (after taxes & $800 in 401k). Expenses are around $3500 currently with rent being $1200. I try to save $3000 a month. I’m okay with bringing savings down a little. Can I swing it?

I'm sitting on ~50k in cash and am about to sell my home, which should net me another 150k or so. With the recent market correction and recession, what do folks think are the best ways to 5x / 10x my money in the next 5 years? Crypto? Stocks (which)? RE? Buying and turning around a business? I know nobody knows the future, but I feel like the downturn presents some unique opportunities, just not sure what all the possibilities are. I'd say my risk tolerance is med/med-high.

What your 401K allocation look like?

35 years old- $155K in 401K

Current allocation for future contributions:
80% FXAIX (S&P 500)
20% FGKFX (growth)

Have about 30% in target date fund (FHDDX) and trying to cash out and either 1) throw it in above allocation 2) cash out SOME and hold in money market and buy dips. I think summer will be volatile

Is it just me? Or do you guys too think the stock market is over-reacting a bit. 🙄

anyone have a good discount for hr block or turbo tax? 🙂

I forgot that I have 95k in a HYSA (0.50%).. should I invest if, move it to a 9 month CD (0.65%) or keep it in there? I don’t foresee using this money anytime in the next year.

I have about 70k invested and my portfolio is kind of random (majority in S&P, VOO, then a few shares in different companies.. I usually just put money in and don’t sell).

Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thoughts on IBM? Earnings were mixed, kind of a flat to poor outlook but it’s pulling back big now, is there upside with big blue?

32 years old and retirement portfolio is 100% equities (65% large cap, 15% international, 10% mid cap, 10% small cap - all low cost, indexed mutual funds). Looking at market news: near-record Schiller CAPE ratio, forecasts of negative 10-year returns on S&P, euphoria in more speculative assets. Thinking of taking some money out of equities (~20%?) and moving into a large bond fund of primarily US treasuries (think BND). I realize bond funds will likely take a hit as interest rates go up (contd.)

What is the best method to save up for a down payment on a home? Wife and I are looking to buy in next couple of years but we don’t really have a nest egg for a down payment (been aggressive on remaining student loans and maxing out 401k). We anticipate we will need a down payment of about 400-500k. What is the best way accumulate that - in a savings account, low yield bonds, conservative ETFs, etc?
