When do you think interest will go down? Or house prices drastically drop?

Any great personal finance/investment books to read? Or even YouTubers/Podcasters

Really looking into expanding my investment horizons — particularly about learning about how to allocate my investment portfolio. Also, always nice to learn about better ways to save and cutback.

What’s a good baseline amount to keep in a checking account? I generally keep mine pretty low <1000 after paying CCs then dump the rest in savings. As I’m building a rainy day fund and then I will start contributing my brokerage account.

For reference <1 year experience at $4500/month (after taxes and 401k contribution)

What motivates you to start or keep up a side gig? Is it just having more income or a specific financial goal?

My company is based in NYC but we’re working from home till 2021. Wife and I put all our stuff in storage and headed to Florida to stay with in-laws. No idea when, if ever, we’ll be back to nyc. Anyone know how I can get out of paying NY state and city taxes?

Looking to buy a model Y. Test drive it yesterday. Feels a bit sporty (not luxury comfy). Debating:
(1) lease vs. buy. Thoughts?
(2) is the $10K investment in FSD even worth it? I think no.

How to know the GGID for checking final settlement payslip

Does anyone work in Dubai or Singapore who can give me an idea what you get paid? Thinking of making the move from Norway. Lower/no personal income tax is the incentive - paying 47% 😭

Looking to buy in the DMV suburbs (northern VA). Is this the wrong time for such a move? Beyond down payment, got about 6mo emergency fund and must tap into it for moving&house expenses like furniture

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

How do we get TSA Pre through AFS?

How much money do you actually make from your side gig? What percentage of your income does it contribute?

Can someone tell me how to withdraw all funds from a 401k from a Merrill account? I know the implications, etc don’t need someone to give me the run-down. Legitimately want to withdraw everything

World Bank announced that the economy has shrunk by 5% (the largest since 1960). Unemployment is near 15%. US is technically in recession. Can someone explain this ridiculous stock market bubble?

Hello fishes, will be really insightful to understand cost of living in Doha for a single person. Rent + food and other expenses manageable at 8-10k QAR/ month?

Pro tip: live close to poorer people to feel rich. The feelings of wealth are extremely subjective and is mainly based on comparison

Damn coinbase, I see you ;)

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

I’m currently in the process of accepting a promotion and have a say on the title. I’m moving up from an Enterprise Account Executive/Manager to a KEY Account Executive/Manager. Which one do you think pulls more weight and is more desired/interchangeable in the world of sales and my future career? (Yes I know they’re practically the same thing but I’m a very technical person and title means a lot to me lol)

Partners- At what point in your career did you feel like you had financially “made it”?

Do partners know each other’s compensation? I see partners selling engagements for vastly different numbers b/w shorter ‘interesting’ strategy work and longer ‘boring’ transformations. Thoughts?

With the CDC releasing new mandates, What are partners seeing from clients? Are they asking for full return to the office? I definitely want to keep staying wfh and not commuting :/

Considering a move from NYC to SF and my office will be in Palo Alto. Any advice on potential neighborhoods to live in without needing a car?

Have been on the East Coast my whole life and don’t know too much about the Bay lol
