If you’re looking for a “safe” place, I think you’re doing it right with S&P 500

Depends on how you define ‘safe’. Being in 100% equities - even if it’s broadly diversified S&P500 - is actually pretty aggressive. Safer would be to allocate some of your portfolio to fixed income products.

Good to bear in mind the advice of Wu Tang Financial Partners: “you gots to diversify yo bonds, m***********”

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

Hello, I am going crazy. I am supposed to close on a house on Tuesday. The buyer did not perform an inspection and the lender did not order an appraisal.

I don’t have a closing time yet, just the date. My realtor reached to the lender and have no heard back.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
