I think America is a better country than most but it’s not a happy place. The ppl seem miserable but you can’t go hungry and you can get great healthcare. It’s weird to see ppl miserable in a country so much. I love it though but I’m a baseline happy person

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?

Is this an aggressive position? Would you use final regulations effective for tax year beggining Dec 16, 2020 to support a deduction for calendar tax year 2020? Proposed regulations didn't include this exception. More details below.

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

I am looking to get another credit card, wondering if anyone has any insights into good cards to get. I only have one card right now, which only gives me cash back. Trying to boost my credit score which has hovered around 800 for a year or so now. Is raising my score more even worth it? I’m only 22 and won’t need to get a loan anytime soon. I take my personal finance pretty seriously, have 3+ months rent saved, invest anywhere from $500-$1000 a month, net worth ~30k etc…

Additional Posts in Student Loans

Not mad that student loans being paused means I can use the money for Christmas. Are you still making payments during the pause? Or are you saving the money for something else. My christmas present to myself is a spa day!

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
