Every paycheck I put in a small amount on a limit order at 2-3% less than current prices.
At the next paycheck I update if still hasn't been purchased. ...

Which stocks/ etfs?

The market is down a lot today, however the S&P is at the same level it traded on 9/7, 9/6, 9/2, 9/1, as well as 7/20 - 7/27. It’s also at a level higher than where it was for all 6/13 - 7/19.

Are you buying today because it’s a big down day, or are you paying attention to levels and seeing advantageous entry points? If it’s the latter (which is the more rationale approach) - did you also buy on 9/7, 9/6, 9/2, 9/1??

First house is currently valued at 900k (bought at 500k 7 years ago). We are considering a move to a LCOL city to try it out.

Should we rent it out for $3800/month to make money while keeping it as rental properties or sell it so we can buy a new home property and then invest the rest? Looks like getting financing for second home is pretty tough.

House is in Arlington VA if it matters.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under).

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are.

Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
