SM1 & P1, do you have home mortgage?

I don't own any property.

If you don’t have a mortgage your savings will be higher

DU1: I don’t own any property either, still only 27. I started working only 2-3 years ago, don’t have much investments (its only savings savings).

Have some investments, you are at the right age of life to start.
I am 35 but had mortgages starting 29 & still looking options for better investment properties. I believe real estate are the best deals in log run...

I'm pretty much broke

50% take home, 400k all inclusive, 1 house in India, no mortgage, 27 yo.

DU1: Any good advice for investments? More from a global perspective - don’t want to lock down my money in US as I’m not sure how long I want to stay here?

McK1: Wow! Bud how did you make 400k? Investment advice to poor kids like me?

It’s a combination of some high risk investments like crypto currencies and experimental tech stocks with more traditional instruments like real estate and mutual funds. I’m almost 50:50 between high and low risk, with the goal to make it 30:70 in another 5 yeara

What’s the best short term financing option for a $40Kish SUV now?

Never used financing - if I sell the car on two years, do I still need to pay the interest for the full value of the vehicle? In other words, is early payoff typically allowed?

Probably will get a BMW, Land Rover, or Mercedes.
