Why buy a pace in ATL??? Buy a place in DC...that’s where you’re going back to school and DC always has more value.

I suggest you buy something in Atlanta. I moved from Miami to LA. Once I got a lay of the land I found that I couldn’t afford to buy anything, so I bought a property in Miami. Moved back two years later and had $70k worth of equity.

Please please please get a financial advisor. What's best overall may not be best for you. I don't understand why so many consultants ask for financial advice on here. You wouldn't give generic advice to a client without knowing their circumstances, why would you accept it for yourself?

1) I'm not a bro
2) That's a common misconception, there are more and more firms catering to exactly this demographic including multiple pay per service options.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

Or… should I take a small loan?

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?

Highly Technical Market Sell-Off - Though, it has picked up over lunch and I suspect that short term turn is in near. Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.
