    OT: Condo purchase

    Honestly, with prices and rates where they are, it’s really challenging to make anything without a significant downpayment, especially if you also hire a property manager. Condo insurance usually isn’t bad bc it only covers contents inside the unit. However, quarterly HOA dues and assessments...

    OT- Inheritance advice

    Is this because of a parent passing away or is it a gift? Totally different implications for each.

    Don’t check your 401K today

    Don’t check your 401K today

    I’ll be the selfish one. I care about my portfolio. I don’t care what countries we subsidize, what they charge us on US imports, etc. I care about increasing my net worth over time.

    OT: Interesting Levels for S&P 500

    I just have to look at it in % terms versus absolute dollars. Easier said than done though!

    OT: Interesting Levels for S&P 500

    It’s all relative. Took me a while to get here. Painful to see years worth of spending lost in a matter of weeks.

    OT: Interesting Levels for S&P 500

    All I know is I was much more likely to spend before I’d lost ~$500k in the last 7-10 trading days. The “wealth effect” is real. When things are going well and your investments increase, you’re much more likely to spend. When you get your nuts kicked in every day for 7-10 days, you’re much more...
