I bought a house in the suburbs of Chicago at the top of the market. I ended up moving out of state in 2017 and short-selling. I am now interviewing for a VP Accounting role with the mortgage company that got shafted by the short sale. If I get the job offer, can they/will they see this on my credit report? Can they pull the offer due to this? Should I tell them before we advance further?

Seeing how 401k’s, ira’s etc..are mostly based in stocks. What happens if we have another Great Depression and the stock market crash’s. Even if you have Real estate investments, if ppl can’t pay rent like with Corona, that’s not really helpful. So what are other ways in addition to those mentioned is there to help secure you into old age? 

PMI question: My home has appreciated by 20-30% in the last year (hot area), I've added about 5% to the home's value, and my LTV is 89%. I asked to remove PMI and my company said I was not eligible to even get an appraisal until the 2 year mark. Has anyone found a way to remove PMI early in similar circumstances?

Accepted job offer with higher salary, but after cost of living adjustment it’s turning out to not be a raise…struggling with this now. How bad would it be to rescind my acceptance?

Do you count your car as part of your NW on Mint/other trackers?

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

For those who have retired early and still have young kids, what do you do for health insurance and how much does it cost you annually?

Have 700K USD worth of invested assets (less real estate, cash/receivables, and precious metals). if I need 4K USD per month for expenses, can I now coast?

What's a good balance between types of investments for an average risk person (e.g. % real estate, % stocks/market, %government bonds, etc)?

Anyone know of a good cross-border US/UK financial fiduciary?

The unending cycle is for real. Reached my LeanFIRE number 2 months ago, yet I don’t feel satisfied. Still reaching for the stars… when will this human desire end?

I read these posts and what numbers you have with FIRE. I don’t have nearly that much saved; I am paying for two kids in school (college). What is the minimal amount?

Need an opinion on the Vanguard VIGAX/VIGIX. I’m index riding with that fund but am wondering if I should shift my risk and go with VT or another Vanguard fund. Thoughts?

What do most people invest in for their Roth IRA portfolio? I’ve heard target funds and ETF’s..which one is better?

Does anyone pursuing FIRE actually like their current job? Trying to get a grasp of how much of the FIRE movement is driven by escapism from unfulfilling work.

Anyone have fee based fiduciary financial advisors they’d recommend? TIA!

Probably the antithesis of this bowl - but need some advice. This is for a house in a Southern metro. Built in 1960s completely remodeled in 2000s with some very recent additional remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms. Well kept house. The price will be nearly $1M, the same as something built in 2010+ with similar square footage (because a lot of the price is the lot, its a super expensive zip). Should I steer clear because of the age? Will it cost a ton in maintenance and utility bills?

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

Given crazy market returns recently, do you still expect the market to rise at 10% over the next 30 years?

How do people here reduce their tax bills? Me and my SO earn about 400k gross and take standard deduction. We don’t own real estate, only S&P500.
