Serious question -- what type of books, blogs, etc should I read on investing? I have a Roth IRA, but have no idea where to invest it. I know most folks are self taught - so any suggestions? Thanks!

I just started getting Money magazine. It covers much more than Roth IRA management but I like it so far.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent.

I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
