What’s a good budget to set for a first car? Thinking about getting a 30k car on a 100k salary pre tax and don’t have any other debt. All the affordability calculators I’ve seen online calculate based on monthly payments but I’m wondering if there is a % of income based view. Seems doable but I’m not sure if it’s a good financial decision considering the costs of having a car other than the monthly payment!

My spouse got an opportunity for a consultant position in UK . Can someone advise on the average salary for a consultant there ? He has an experience of 12 years.

So I accepted an offer back in mid March but I didn’t negotiate it up and now I’m regretting it, because apparently you’re supposed to.

If not, how do I go about it?

I handleda very difficult and convoluted succession for a black family. My client was astute and intelligent. We got along great. His family was difficult. Willfully ignorant.

Part of the succession dealt with clawing back $450,000 in insurance proceeds that a niece fraudulent received from the decedent by making herself the beneficiary on policies.

But I guess for their record it’s all under her name. It’s impossible to reach IRS and also I really want to avoid contacting my ex. What would be the best approach for this?
