Thinking about buying a house with gf. She has more money for a deposit (large trust from parents). How to make it equal /fair ?

I was thinking of signing an agreement to pay her back the delta in deposit over 5 years. That way we are both in it equally and she's protected if we split up. Good idea?

I got offered by my financial advisor to enter a closed private equity fund that has the objective (not guarantee) to 2x the capital in 10 years. That would mean a consistent 7.2% p.a. though I won't be able to sell, which is not a problem.

Do you think it's worth it?

I use this financial advisor because he's a family friend and I pay close to no fee and it was a nice way of getting into investing.

I’ve been an LPN for 8 years, predominately in pediatrics, both in patient and home healthcare. I’ve worked in medical offices for 10+ years before that. I was looking to explore options outside of bedside nursing/direct patient care, do I have many options? I saw another similar post but the OP is an RN, and I didn’t know how much that information would apply to me as an LPN.

Can 🐠 at the other big 4 be so kind to share key stats on their best health insurance plan (premiums and deductible for a family)? Trying to gauge how crappy our plan is in comparison..

This general strike talk has really got me re-evaluating my whole career. I can’t complain about compensation, I’m paid well, I have benefits, and I have a roof over my head. But the work life balance and unsustainable productivity expectations that have been created by agencies that won’t say no to clients needs to change. We place/create ads to turn millionaires into billionaires while we’re treated terribly. Something’s gotta give. I don’t know a single person who isn’t burnt out right now

Hi all - looking for stats and help on what a St Consultant level III gets paid here in London?

I’m transferring from a US office.

Need a pretty substantial loan currently ($50k+) to pay for immigration lawyer fees for the family (very complicated immigration stuff unfortunately). Could anyway direct a reliable lending agency?

For reference I made in the mid 80s in year one. Is this a safe contribution early in a career? Any tips, or suggestions on how to allocate my savings?

I'd like to surround myself with more positivity, namely positive people. I'm finding it so difficult to do while at work though - I feel like I'm constantly surrounded by negativity.

I find myself whiling away most of my weekend on Grindr and other dating apps. >90% of the time is wasted and doesn't lead to anything. I know it's a black hole but I still keep going back. Off late, I've realized that more than anything else, I'm just lonely and don't have much else to do. I go there craving sort of connection and human interaction. In my late 20s - don't have too many friends. The ones I do are also busy pairing off and settling down. Anybody else in the same boat?

Lately I have little tolerance for big meals. I try to do IF and would naturally do it because I wouldn’t feel very hungry until noon and have a big lunch and a big dinner. In the past few months, if I eat a big meal, I bloat up. My body asks for small meals every 2 hours or so. This is very awkward socially or at office when I can’t eat much but keep feeling hungry so frequently. Do you think something else is going on that I need to check on?
