Recently tried to buy series-I bonds from the fed and they refused to allow me to open an account without getting a notarized form with my address on it. They say it’s a 13 week processing time, which really pisses me off. Two questions:
1 - would I be able to max out 2022 plus 2023 series-I investments if they were bought in Jan 2023?
2 - is the treasury pulling this shit with everyone? In efforts to get fewer people to purchase series I?

Super weird - signed up and bought the max I bonds in -10 min in June.

Same experience for some other people I know, but maybe you’re right - too much demand right now

What does everyone think of the current Austin housing market? Looks like prices are finally starting to come down a good bit (not that that means much in terms of monthly payments bc of interest rates). Do we think we’ll see a steady decline going into 2023?

Hey y’all! Figured I’d reach out here to hear people’s thoughts on the matter. Basically I’m looking at buying a home this summer, however with HMBradley rates being nerfed I’ve now found myself looking for a new place to store the down payment (~100k).

Any advice on where you would put it? Unfortunately can’t do I-bonds due to timing and the only other “savings account” option that has a high yield are stable coin accounts which themselves entail high to unknown amounts of risk.

I got burned in the aftermath of the FTX Cryptocurrency bankruptcy. I know it was stupid of me to invest in something I know very little about, but all I can do is avoid riskier investments in the future. As of now, I lost $40k.

Now, I'm unmotivated to save though. I feel like all my hard work over the years was for nothing. Did anyone have a similar loss in the past, and felt unmotivated afterwards? If so, did you ever recover?

Any advice about my situation from the fine folks in this bowl?

I’ve always avoided annuities but think this one from NY Life is interesting. It’s called a Variable Investment Fund and you can add an Investment Preservation Rider for a fee. The IPR guarantees your investment return will at least be the cash you put in.

Typical portfolio returns about 7.5% after all fees. The commission fee is 2%.

So you are attenuating some upside and paying a pretty hefty fee, but you are insuring agains the downside.
