It’s a great way to link your incentives to company performance and can drive bigger picture and longer term thinking in people. Over time it can become a material amount of money too. But I’d suggest selling as it vests to avoid being overly exposed to your employer financially.

It's a great annuity once the vesting starts especially if stock continues to rise. Regardless, it's a nice cycle once it starts and differs from options in that you get the shares each vesting period with no buy-in. Be mindful to do tax planning especially if you have both RSUs and Options as part of your compensation.

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
