Hi, hoping for some account transfer advice though I think this may just be bad news. Years and years ago, before I really knew better, I invested $15K with Raymond James - the high fee % kind. Now, that amount has nearly doubled. It’s been long enough that may seem like a good return, but I...

Congrats! Recently hit $1M as well in my late 30s. We celebrated by buying new cars since used ones are more right now with trade in and cash. Love saving but have to celebrate the WINS along the way! Congrats to you!

Parking My entire neighborhood has 2-3 car garages and people still constantly park on the street on both sides of the road blocking coming and going, usually because they just clutter garage with crap. Very small peeve ofc given much bigger things going on, but highly annoying and somewhat...

Same ole story I am now in my late 30s, but hold a pretty high position at MegaCorp and live and have always lived well below my means, just the same as many of you on this forum. What I find spectacular/confusing is the confusion from my peers, especially when I was younger about why? Why...

There’s too many posts in this one for me to see if someone already suggested weight watchers but seriously it’s all that has worked for me. I can’t do “diets” they just make me want food more. And I can’t do elimination of entire food groups. WW worked For me bc 1) I like counting and lists...

Hi, thanks for reply. I’m still learning the kind of info that you need to post here in order to get the most beneficial answers :) Overall goal: get out of the stressful MegaCorp job as soon as possible. This is honestly why I was asking about real estate. Always had an interest but what I...

Did the smart things (I thought) early on, got the MBA, got the big job and climbed the ladder quickly. However, last few years what I’m sure of is the more BS I put up with the higher I go. Letting it all go and doing something Different isn’t a real option - 2 small kids and single mom. But...
