If I make 80k a year in Chicago how much should I be spending on rent?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Has anyone tried both online TD ameritrade brokerage and JPMorgan brokerage? If so, can you share some pros and cons of both?

FYI, I don’t do day trade and most of my investments are ETFs and hold for long term.

I am currently serving my notice period at PwC AC. They had given out a retention bonus in march with the clause to return it in full if an employee leaves the firm any time before march 2023. Tax was deducted when the bonus was paid out but as per the HR the tax will not be adjusted when I pay back the entire amount. Has anyone faced a similar kind of issue and is there a way to claim tax rebate in ITR ?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Have any of you made a switch after working for a few years? When I started undergrad I wanted to work with renewable energy. Not at all disappointed to be in aerospace but I want to explore a pivot. Something like wind or wave power seems like it would be much riskier but also has more room for innovation.
