Starting my house search ❤️ Does this group have recommendations for an good buyer’s agent in the Chicago area? Looking to buy in Lakeviee, Edgewater, boystown maybe even Evanston.

Has anyone’s credit score dropped dramatically? Mine dropped almost 20 points in one month and the reason says because the age of my accounts are low but I haven’t opened any new ones? wondering if it’s covid related somehow?

Thursday I got it in my head that I needed to hedge against potential Dollar devaluation. I looked at other market funds thinking them to be good proxies for other currencies.

I decided to pick up a few but saw the Baltic Index was going up, higher shipping rates means increased demand, so it pointed to the Chinese economy picking up significantly.

I looked at FXI, there was no option interest so they were super cheap. I figured I pick up a bunch.

They opened at +%333 talk about dumb luck.

What would you say is the minimum amount of money that your household would have to make before considering to have two babies?

Anyone know how taxes work when you sell for a gain? Do Coinbase and other sites prepare a 1099 or are we on our own to "self report" our gains to Uncle Sam?

Anyone else feel like the markets always conspire against them? I.e. I have a “fun money” day trading account and bought two stocks about a year ago. Sold them because they weren’t doing anything and I found a more attractive investment and then they’re up literally 60% over the next three days after a year of 0 movement.

I am wanting to start investing in real estate in the new year… I’m using this month to read up on it and familiarize myself with it. I am a true beginner and wanted to ask for any tips, tricks, advice, books, videos, magazines, podcasts, etc to start? Please let me know!

First time investor in the US. Any suggestions on books / blogs to read to get smart. Where do people typically invest given all the client related policies in place for consulting firms?

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

What did you do with your RSU’s after it vested? Did you keep it or was it sold and reinvest to another stock/fund/etf?

How do you keep track of your finances? Do you use a calendar, a specific software, what’s your favorite method?

I have significant equity in a property (300k+) and maybe another 200k across other properties. I have a decent amount of money in cash and already 200k or so in stocks. Would you consider pulling money through cash out refi and using it? I get nervous for stocks being so high. I have a few properties in pipeline already. How would you suggest using it (if at all).

Is it mandatory to submit previous employment declaration while submitting Income tax declaration. Or we can just skip this. Since this is my 2 nd company not aware of this much. What happens at the end of financial year if we don't declare previous employment declaration. Seniors kindly help🙏

How much money do you have saved up?😳

Can I receive rent on H1? How can that be accounted towards the end of the FY?

Does the 25X rule take into account long term capital gains tax of 15%? Like if I know I need 40K to survive, do I need $1M, or more to make up for the tax too?

Thoughts on investing in FTT FTX? It’s available on Kucoin

I’m curious - let’s say you have a role to fill but they are targeting only female candidates to balance out the team. What recruiting strategies can i implement to meet those needs?

I love when coworkers say “Enjoy your PTO, it’s so well deserved.” Like what? It’s in my offer letter and part of my compensation, I’m entitled to it. We all are.

Overheard: “We’re paid a ton to crush it at work, get wasted, wake up, work out, and crush work again, but while hungover. We’re basically like pro athletes”
#whichfirmsaidit? #harderthanharvard 🙄🙄

Genuinely feeling subpar here. I can’t point to one thing I’ve done well on this project. I don’t think I should even be a manger to be honest. I’m not good enough to work here.

When should you reach out to people for rec letters? How many schools should you apply to for round 1? If rejected, should you apply for the same number of schools round 2? Thanks for your help!!
