Traveling 75%, & alt travel a lot. Feels like I’m wasting $ on rent in home office city so I don’t want to renew my lease. But I guess it feels good to have a home. Anyone lived the nomad life?

I knew a colleague who did that for a few years. She put all of her clothes and personal items in storage at her home city and when she came back she simply just stayed at a hotel for the weekend because she usually had a lot of points to get the rooms for free and then head out on Monday morning for her project destination. Seemed to work pretty well for her.

^yep. And as someone who has been traveling a lot + alt traveling, it’s difficult to start a relationship, since you’re just not in any one city for any meaningful length of time

I rotated visiting friends, family, vacation, and weddings. I sold almost everything, bought or rented what I needed that was too big. Still cheaper than having a place

How does the nomad life affect your dating life?

like

Didn’t affect my dating life. I would just go back to the city with the girl I met. Easy. It’s actually better too, she has to like just you. You have no house, no car, no furniture. You just bring yourself and if she doesn’t like that then it’s an easy decision. However if it’s just the hookup life for you then it’s even better. No downsides

I have $100k from an annuity invested with Schwab and managed by a brokerage firm. My parents set me all up with this when I got access to the funds at age 21. So I’m not sure of the complete breakdown other than the fact that it’s diversified according to my tolerance for risk

Now, I also have $25k liquid cash I’d like to do something with. Should I just add it to the existing portfolio, or create a separate, self-managed account?

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated.

I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?
