Are there any specific steps to take with this kind of transaction? Is it as simple as withholding 15% of the Sales price from the seller to remit to the IRS or is there more to it?

Why is it only worth buying a house if you’re going to stay in it for 5+ years? I’ve seen several people in this bowl say this and wanted to understand the reasoning. I’ve toured with the idea of buying since I’ve seen listings for places where monthly mortgage would be less than my current rent but I’m also hoping to move in less than 5 years. Currently in nyc, hoping to go back to texas in 2-5 years.

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

Helping current employers prep job spec for my replacement. Salary was a factor for me leaving but minor relative to other things.

Any useful advice on coping with feelings of failure? I have invested a lot of time in the past 5 years to specialise in my field (int'l arb), moved countries twice, invested more money than I currently have to requalify where I am now (UK), and still cannot get even a single interview for an associate position. I have been struggling financially for a while now (I am paid half of what a trainee earns in London), and have been feeling quite disappointed with myself. Should I give up? (Cont.)

Can't get a job. My work isn't good enough. I'm not good enough. I hate myself.

Should I pay all cash or get a mortgage? My rate will likely be 5.5%, loan amount 420k to 840k (depending on how much I want to put down). With paying all cash, the sales office gives me an $15k incentive/discount. If i don’t get mortgage, I can always do home equity line of credit later (instead of refinance) if interest rate lowers in the future, right? What are the factors I should think about when approaching this? Also, nuanced differences between home equity line of credit vs refinance?

Hi all, i am currently expecting, told in the office about the same. Initially i felt support from my team but lately i have been facing some issues with senior managers. Mandatory wfo when there is no such corporate policy (if you are on leave you are required to cover it later), work pressure, unnecessary feedback, irritable tone, "personal suggestion" to take early maternity.
This has started to build up mental and physical stress now.
