Buying a house with monthly expense of $4900, although my current rent is only $2350. My total HHI with my husband is about $310K. I’m feeling weary of spending this much but we live in a HCOL area near a major city and we have high taxes. It’s hard to find anything decent under $800K. Should I just suck it up in order to be a homeowner?

Alright team…how do we get rich off the metaverse? MANA coin? $RBLX? Open to any and all suggestions. TY!

Hi all - I’m new to freelance in 2020, have an LLC and wanting to create my own banking and investment accounts separate from other family income. What is the best money management platform used by those in our industry. I see Betterment is an option. Thoughts?

For those using voyager, does it take a really long time for deposits to settle? It's been like 1.5 weeks, my cash has been taken out of my bank account a while ago, but voyager still has all my deposits as pending.

I can still trade with the pending deposit, but I'm just wondering since I'll eventually withdraw some.

So wanna run something by you all. Looking at insurance plans. There are 4 plans that allow an HSA. 3 of the 4 are identical.
500 firm contribution to HSA = ~21/ pay period. Add that to lowest HSA premium plan. It still comes out lower than the out 3 plans. So what am I missing?

28 year old with ~125k in cash/brokerage. Have been wanting to begin purchasing rentals but anxious to use a good bit of my liquid savings. Thoughts on biting the bullet vs. investing in stocks. In Houston if that is a factor

Any idea what will happen to the classic car market as a result of the war in the Ukraine? Are prices going to come down or will classic cars be considered “safe” investments during this time of crisis?

Obviously all speculation, just curious what others are anticipating or have experienced.

(I am fully aware that this is not the most pressing issue, so don’t jump on me for posing the question.)

Question for my 401k focused advisors out there--what programs are you using that is instrumental to your 401k practice that you simply can't do without? I'm being pitched on Envestnet & im not sold.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Hear me out! I left my 15 year career in the corporate world to pursue being a realtor.1) It was never boring
2) It was the most challenging
3) It was extremely rewarding to be able to help families find their dream homes

What is your favorite part about being a realtor?

How does one share a Delta drink voucher? Can you just take a screenshot?

Having worked with energy now for a decade, I find myself enjoying the craziness of it all: You're always two decisions (in Moscow or Riyadh) away from prices halving or doubling. War or no war is quite often a sensitivity, and adoption of EVs/renewables/biofuels will be between X and 10X. Find it hard to imagine doing strategy work in the less volatile/crazy domains - what could be more exciting than this 😋

Anyone who has been through both rounds at MBB - does case difficulty get any harder between round 1 and 2? Or is it just the level of interviewer?

Hi ,
Can anyone share your IBM bench experience.
How many months you are on bench and got project ?

Desperate for an answer to this seemingly simple but infuriating tech issue - I have an external monitor attached to my laptop with an hdmi cord. How can I get the monitor to stay on the same screen while I switch between desktops on the laptop. Essentially need it to stay as a single extended desktop rather than showing an extended desktop for each of my 5 laptop desktops (creating 10 desktops). Thanks so much in advance.

Hey Fishes! I have joined Capgemini this month. Will I be eligible for the year end bonus? Pls let me know! Thanks 🙏

I’m curious to hear which insurance company has the best work life balance for a senior commercial or middle market underwriting role. I currently only handle new business, which I love, but see that other companies like liberty make you handle new business and renewals. Any insight is appreciated.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Has anyone in NY requested NTS extension beyond the 12/31/2020 extension?

Hello Fishes,

I am about to join CTS as bid manager role in SAP. I don't have prior experience with bid management but have functional & implementation experience in SAP.
I just want to know how are the seniors in terms of helping and letting me grasp the process like shadowing etc happens or I would be bombarded with work?
I am a bit worried.

Hi all, can anyone comment on the culture at Platinum Equity, in particular in the UK?
Also, what are the different levels (hierarchy) and rough comp? @platinum equity

What should I do with my cash in this environment? Have quite a bit sitting in savings which is obviously not ideal with inflation running high. Are ETFs still the play?

House flip question

Hey all newbie here. My husband and I are living that Double Income No Kid life wanting to (Financial Independence) Retire Early.

Both in tech in the Bay Area. I’m in Arizona visiting family and am thinking of an investment property. Does anyone have a book/course/video that they personally have used and recommend for flipping houses? I want to do some research there’s a lot of content out there.
Thanks a bunch!

How do you boost your credit score within a couple of weeks? Very small increase needed.

A very privileged question, but do any of you expect significant inheritance? And if so, how has that affected your retirement planning?

I’m finally hitting a stride (now in my mid-30s) and have some cash to play around with/invest. Any suggestions or recommendations on good, long-term strategies (and/or things I should absolutely be doing) for people not familiar with having a tiny cushion of wealth? Also open to “you should hire a financial advisor, etc..”

I bought my starter home recently. Want to dump everything else i saved into vti (will be about 70k). Would buy a forever home in say 5-6 years. 5 year time horizon is pretty safe right?

How often are you concerned about losing your job? Ever since I got a mortgage a few months ago, this fear has been plaguing me. The volatile market doesn’t help either.

Are we allowed to trade crypto on TD Ameritrade?

Hi everyone! I’m a young professional right out of college getting into investing and personal finance management. Trying to better understand and educate myself on personal finance and investment strategies. Can someone recommend some recourses (books, podcasts, experts to follow, etc.) where it’s clearly explained for beginners? Trying to make sense of 401Ks, Roth IRAs, emergency funds etc.
Like I’m looking for someone like Dave Ramsey but for investment and money management advice.

Advice appreciated: I want to sublease my apartment so that I can rent elsewhere and pay less. I had to move in a short amount of time and it was during the period where there was a high demand for housing, & leases everywhere were expensive so I signed what I thought was fairly cheap in comparison to what was out there. However I found something this month that will cut costs by 30%. How do I go about finding someone to sublease my place?

Just started my career and looking for advice. Other than putting money into my 401k what opportunities should I be looking at? I live for free so I have a decent amount of money.

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif

Amazon stock is down to below 3000. Bought at 3300! Thoughts? I’m sure it will go back up, but when? And by how much? Appreciate any expert guidance!

Where are my swing traders at??

I have a yearly income of 130k and will rent a 1Br/Studio in Manhattan from 2.4-3k by end of the year. I also have student loans of 28.5k which I intend to pay off in an year or so. Currently, putting in 4% for Roth per pay cycle and maximizing my HSA. I net a monthly income of close to 7k. I intend to save about 3k for the next 3 months in my Marcus Savings Acc and 1.5k from January (reducing it cos my rent doubles) How should I go about planning this and also have some emergency savings?

How do you choose 529 college plans. Currently in MD but will move to TX or GA in next couple of years. Any plans that avoids locking into specific state and allow to use funds for private or public colleges.

Is there a calculator that I can put in all my investments and see how it works out in 50 years? I know each brokerage has their own projection thing, but just wondering if there are any other tools where i could combine everything?

How much of your income do you all target to save, invest, and use for expenses, respectively? I’m currently at 40% investing, 10% saving, 50% expenses but hoping to bring expenses down soon.
