What is the best way to transfer money to India to buy a property? Even few cents is making a large difference and Zoom seems inefficient. I want to transfer directly to the builder to avoid FBAR reporting.

Write a cheque and mail it.

My friend did this for downpayment.

It will be in USD, they would like to receive the money in INR right?

You are right, he opened NRE account for this. Since EMI also needs to be setup.

I used hawala. You’re builder probably has some connections.

I’m 26 and I have a negative net worth (thanks, student loans, and frivolous spending from the age of 21-24!). I paid down my CC debt recently, but now I’m staring at another $49k in student loans. I am trying to tackle it as much as I can while simultaneously investing in my 401k and brokerage, but I feel a bit beaten down sometimes. Has anyone else here experienced similar circumstances? I love reading the success stories on here, but sometimes it makes me kind of sad about my life 😥

Just started a new job and after doing some research found out they do not offer a Roth 401k. My choices are limited to a traditional 401k or After-Tax Contributions. After speaking with a friend who’s a CFP, he suggested I contribute only to the After-Tax, but I wanted to validate that advice here. If it helps I’m 24 and my current base is around 110k. Thanks in advance!

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
