The only thing I truly care about is money and I’ve tried hard to not be this way but I can’t help it. My parents came from nothing and I refuse to ever “feel poor” again

As long as you're not stepping on people to make your way up, nothing wrong with this. The are ethical ways to make money and non ethical ways

Paradox:
The more money I have the poorer I feel.
My parents had so little comparing to me (now), yet I felt like I was "rich" growing up.

Don’t hype housing market for personal reasons. There are other ways to get rich 🤥

Same lol. I recognize that it is toxic and that even though I was poor for the majority of my life, I have great memories probably bc I was not worried about money or the perception that having money gives you. But I would never like to go back. If anything, for the comfort I live in now. I can’t imagine going back to those living conditions.

It’s really ok for now. I hope the years provide a perspective on what’s really important. There’s time.

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

Hi guys 👋🏻
This is regarding the interest amount of our EPF.

For you guys,is the interest details showing any amount in the EPFO member passbook? Or is it showing '0' like me(As seen in the photo below)?

Is the government yet to credit the interest amounts of our PF balances? Or is something wrong with my PF account only?

Any inputs will be really appreciated 🙂
