This is now the second time Israel has illegally abducted Australian citizens in international waters, and our government has said nothing … For as long as Australia continues to support Israel’s genocide, Australians will keep sailing. You never know the minute when the Israelis decide that ‘yeah, let’s fuck over some ordinary people,’ 500 of them, who have got a whole load of baby food in boats trying to break their illegal siege in international waters. Here we are in international waters, and our governments are completely failing us. Do everything that you can to keep us safe.

This blog is now closed. See our latest full report: Trump claims planned attack on Iran postponed after Tehran makes new proposal to end war Friedrich Merz has been embroiled in a row with Donald Trump over his war on Iran ever since the German chancellor suggested the Trump team was being outplayed in its negotiations with Tehran and said he would not advise his children to study or work in the US in the current climate. The Guardian’s Berlin correspondent, Deborah Cole, has looked at the declining relationship between the two leaders in this story. Here is an extract: Disputes over trade and military aid for Ukraine have fuelled tensions between the US and its European allies and tested the Nato alliance. Merz is struggling to revive an anaemic German economy and has said the impact of the US-Israeli military action in Iran and the ensuing closure of the strait of Hormuz has been severely damaging to European interests. We strongly condemn the renewed Iranian airstrikes against the United Arab Emirates and other partners. Attacks on nuclear facilities pose a threat to the safety of people throughout the entire region. There must be no further escalation of violence. Iran must enter into serious negotiations with the USA, stop threatening its neighbours, and open the strait of Hormuz without restrictions. Continue reading...  ( 27 min )

Trump dismisses $10bn suit against IRS and creates $1.7bn ‘anti-weaponization’ fund Sign up for the Breaking News US email Democratic reactions to the news about Trump moving to withdraw his lawsuit against the IRS are coming in. Ron Wyden, a top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said Trump deserved no credit for dropping the lawsuit, regardless of his reasons. “Even by his standards the move he’s trying to get away with now is a stunning act of corruption,” said Wyden in a statement. “What Trump wants is a $1.7bn slush fund for right-wing political violence and subversion, and if he follows through, it will be the most brazen theft and abuse of taxpayer dollars by any president in American history.” Continue reading...  ( 30 min )

Democrats criticize deal as a slush fund that ‘funnels taxpayer dollars’ to president’s political allies Sign up for the Breaking News US newsletter email The justice department announced on Monday it was creating a loosely controlled and secretive $1.776bn fund to compensate Donald Trump allies as part of an agreement in which Trump and his sons dropped a $10bn longshot lawsuit against the IRS. The money, which critics said was essentially a slush fund, will be overseen by five commissioners – four of whom would be appointed by the attorney general and removable by Trump – who would oversee the body’s work. A fifth commissioner will be appointed “in consultation” with congressional leadership. The fund also has the power to issue “formal apologies” and will send a quarterly confidential report to the US attorney general outlining who has been paid from the fund. There is no requirement that the fund’s work be made public. Continue reading...  ( 16 min )

President’s remarks about Taiwan arms deals being a ‘negotiating chip’ with Beijing have been seized on by Chinese state media It has been an unsettling few days for Taiwan’s government. When Donald Trump met Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday, many feared the unpredictable US leader could upend Washington’s longstanding support for Taipei. But beyond a starkly worded statement from Xi stressing China’s claims over Taiwan, which it claims as part of its territory despite never having ruled it, initial signs appeared good for Taipei.

The US president says plans for a US military strike on Iran have been paused because ‘serious negotiations are now taking place’ Iran has made a new proposal for a deal to definitively end the war in the Middle East, officials in the region said on Monday, with Donald Trump claiming he had postponed new military strikes so talks could continue. But while the US president has regularly used social media to threaten Tehran, and to claim that a peace deal was within reach, there has been no sign of an immediate breakthrough in the stalled negotiations to end the war.

Residents of Ituri province fear spread of disease and economic impact of outbreak six years after the last “On public transport, in bars and at mass gatherings, everyone is talking about Ebola,” said Gloire Mumbesa, a resident of Mongbwalu, a mining town in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I made one of the most egregious mistakes by financing and over paying for a car last year and have been living in constant stress and regret ever since. I think I may have a way out but it is going to cost me big money - I would like advice to see if i am making the right move here. Currently I owe $35k at 12% with 57 months left. Payment is $836 - Insurance is $385 - rent is $750 (yes my car note is higher than my rent, sadly) I bring home around $4500 a month after taxes I have around $18k in savings, mosty from my second part time job which covers half the payment and rest goes into savings my plan is to sell the car to Carvana and write a check for the difference of about 10-12k in negative equity - it's going to hurt but I think for my overall mental health it will be worth it. I have a gap reimbursment of about $900 am trying to see about canceling the extended warranty for a prorated refund I have a used car I came into possession of recently but high mileage - concerned about reliability? my family said it is a dumb idea to get rid of the car and drive the beater until I can save for a nicer car that I can afford, but have no idea how much my payment is and how much stress I have been in making these payments. on the surface I know I will miss the luxury the car has offered me but on a deeper level I know this is what needs to be done for my long term financial and mental health. any thoughts and advice is greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/Dairy_Dude [link] [comments]

Tried posting in r/bonds but no dice. I was gifted savings bonds over the years as a child. Mostly from grandparents. I have a sibling who received the same in the same way. Some were lost, never cashed, never claimed. Checking TreasuryHunt yielded positive results, and we both filled out the form and mailed them. Received a response saying the forms were received, the entire discovery process could be 11+ months. I believe the bonds had our own SSN #s on them, not grandparents. The bond amounts, from what memory serves, were $100 or $200 each. I'm sure by this point whatever is left has reached the maturity age and stopped receiving interest. Based on interest rates, inflation (applicable?), what amount can I expect if TH does find several bonds? Searching the names of grandparents yielded results, too. Unfortunately, they are long since deceased and I do not have their SSN #s obviously. How does this work exactly for searching other relatives or family members that are no longer living - Would this imply that my *grandparents* were given bonds at some point that were never cashed throughout their lives? submitted by /u/ExactingFermuion [link] [comments]

I am in the process of dividing my parents estate between my brother and I. There is a house, farmland, cash. We agree to sell the house. The less than 100 acres of farmland is worth about the same as the cash. My brother wants the cash and so I'm deciding if we should sell the farmland so we would have equal cash. I estimate if I keep the land, I would get 2% rent and an approximate 5% yearly appreciation, I might get 7% per year total (minus upkeep and property taxes). I could probably do better in the stock market if we sold the land and had cash, but it's a little emotional to just sell it right now since I grew up on that small farm and it's been in the family for about 60 years so I'm at a crossroads. I am thinking about taking the farmland and rent it out for a little while (couple years) to think about and get a feel if I want to keep it long enough to see if my children (middle school, high school) might want it or not, since once its gone, its gone. My question is, has anyone sold inherited farmland or didn't but wish they did much sooner? Thoughts? submitted by /u/mike_want_wingy [link] [comments]

My wife has recently left her job and does not plan to go back to work for a year or two. I am applying for work back home and expect to be able to get a job earning around 80K annually (in the united states). This is all in early stages for us and I am not ready yet to go to loan rate calculators but am trying to do a little planning. I am trying to ballpark reasonable homes and plan ahead in case I do get hired on. We would be selling our current home and expect to have 120K to put into the loan on the next home. We would both be on the loan and have excellent credit although my wife does not plan to go back to work for some time. We own our three vehicles outright and have no debts other than our current mortgage. I know I am leaving a lot out here but I am just trying to ballpark. My concern is that the cheapest viable house we have seen on the market so far is $430K. Lets assume 7.5% apr. Thoughts on taking on a mortgage for around 330K with an income of only 80k? What if we were to throw an additional 50K into the down payment? submitted by /u/Buddro89 [link] [comments]

When saving for the future, do y'all just try to have your savings rate as high as possible in case you need the money in future? Or what do you do when you finally get savings beyond what you really need? I own a single family home and my vehicle and do not have kids so it kind of feels pointless to keep saving forever. Obviously I could get a nicer house or nicer car or other stuff but I do not really care about that stuff much. Is there anything that helps your motivation to keep saving beyond what you will need for essentials in retirement, for others that also do not have kids or specific plans or goals they are saving for right now submitted by /u/AngryCowArmy [link] [comments]

I don't have insurance and need a procedure that costs around 27k. I can save up, but I'd prefer to get this surgery immediately due to how painful it is. I'm responsible and have a good credit history, but my credit limits are low ($2,000) for both of my credit cards. This has never been an issue for me as I don't use my credit cards often and rarely splurge money. I applied to CreditFi and Patient Fi but their limits are also too low and their APR was 29% and 19%. I'm not sure why since my APR for my credit cards are significantly lower. I'm not the best financially, so my question is: What do you guys think about me opening up multiple credit cards to reach the 27k and then pay it off monthly and close the cards I won't be using anymore? Is this a stupid idea? submitted by /u/PlayfulDatabase68 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone. I recently graduated high school and as one does had a grad party and received a big sum of money. I am super blessed to have such generous people in my life and it’s honestly an uncomfortable amount of money. I received a total of $4,555 through checks and cash and I’m wondering what the best way to use it is. I have gotten scholarships to pay for nearly all of college, and I have a job mowing lawns, so I don’t need to use the money for spending right now I would like to invest all of it. I am thinking a Roth IRA, but want to make sure I shouldn’t diversify or invest in something a little more liquid that I can use before I’m at retirement age. I would really appreciate any advice. submitted by /u/LoganC4 [link] [comments]

Stepdad lived in Oklahoma. I live In Texas. I have paid off his credit card ($213.95). I contacted T-Mobile to cancel his internet and phone accounts but they wouldn't let me pay it off unless I was on the account. The process to have the account canceled was ridiculous and I told them I am not doing that and the rep said I shouldn't worry about it. I did drop off the modem at a local T-Mobile location and explained the situation to the rep there and even she said not to worry about. I contacted his insurance company to have all of his accounts closed and they said that no payment was required and was even offering to send me a refund which I declined because I didn't want them to have my address or personal info. Now I have a gas bill ($90.14), electric bill ($104.70), and a water bill ($50.94). Should I bother with these remaining bills? Are these amounts high enough for them to send to collections and then be hassled by them? My name and address is on the death certificate as the informant but I am not sure if debt collectors have access to a death certificate. His cremation was $3,000 and took all of what was left in his bank account. I am not on any of his accounts either if that matters. I have asked other people that were in a similar situation and they told me don't bother and even chided me for paying the bills I already have. Edit: Ok, I will not pay anymore of his bills.

I wanted to take out the costs for his college laptop + iPad for school and I paid his $500 deposit earlier this month. The total for this would be about $2839. I messaged the advisor (who is someone special that takes care of estate accounts) and I received a reply that I need to initiate a withdraw with a verbal consent. OK.... Now since this is such a pain can I just withdraw the entire amount now and use the remaining money (~$2561) to pay his tuition when the bill comes due in August? I hate to have to call these people and do this song and dance again in a couple of months. submitted by /u/VTMomof2 [link] [comments]

I had pre approval letter from a bank and bought a car this weekend. I told the dealer specifically not to run my credit bc I didn't want a credit ding. They assured me they needed my social to verify my identity and that they would not pull my credit. They pulled my credit anyways and it seems they re-originated the loan through themselves in spite of me saying not to do this. I found out today and called them. Their explanation was that I had been misinformed (I verified with the sales person twice that they wouldn't do this and once with once with another sales person present) . They needed to do this to verify identity, but it seems they actually did this to originate the loan. I found out today as it seems they re-originated the loan as I had been suspicious they would do this. The b…

I’ve been paying my mortgage by myself without fail ever since the house was bought. After the divorce, I paid my ex-wife half of the equity and had her name removed from the deed. Her name is still on the mortgage and she told me several months ago that she wants her name off the mortgage per the divorce decree. I do not have enough income on my own to qualify for a loan assumption, but I don’t want to be forced to sell. It sounds like my only option is this long shot: offer to pay my ex-wife 10% of the mortgage monthly to keep her name on the mortgage. She’s likely to say no to that but I don’t know what else to do. What are my options? Edit: Will the bank allow me to complete an assumption and keep my rate if the property is no longer owner-occupied? It’s been years since the origination of the loan and circumstances change. I couldn’t qualify for the loan if I am occupying it based solely on my income. But if I rent the property out, I can rent it for about $4,000 and my total loan obligation would be about $2,500. submitted by /u/LOTR_is_awesome [link] [comments]

Hi. Long time lurker and first time poster. Wanted to share my situation and gauge what’s everyone’s thoughts would be on it. Single/Male/30 I’m fortunate to be employed in an industry where I’m provided with accommodation. Free utilities, an and transportation to work. Just that I get posted in different places every 4-5 years. Dont really mind it. Single and able to live in various places. Great in my mind. Fixed gross annual salary would be around RM75k. Annual bonus ranges from 4 to 9 months. Annual salary may hit up to RM120k/year. So here’s what’s up. Based on my career. (And I do intend to stay in it for the long term) I have a portion of my salary that may be invested. Since I don’t have to spend on rent or living expenses. And I have been doing so in ETFs and stocks im interested in. Recently I’ve been meddling in the idea of investing in property by renting it out in my home state. The thought process behind this is that I will be living and moving around with no expense. And the property will be able to pay itself with rental income. My immediate family would be able to hold the fort and handle the rental processes. The property in question is a high rise right beside the causeway to SG. I’m heavily betting on the RTS line from JB to SG that’ll bolster rental properties. Price around RM400k. On a side note. My commitments and expenses are at a minimum. I’m able to set aside RM3k a month for investments. Expected to grow since I don’t see a need to increase my commitments nor expenses. Thank you. submitted by /u/aaronatlasraj [link] [comments]

This is my first time order things from TikTok because I was looking for the items out of desperation. So this lady said she got extra 5 boxes. I made my payment but she later said due to Raya season - JnT has certain close off period. She said tak sempat sampai awak before Raya. I accepted that and insist her just post out the items. But she want to reconfirm with me again if I accept the delay then later said she will just refund everything since she don’t think she can deliver it on time. Okay fine I accepted the decision but there has been no refund to date. The first reason she gave was that transfer was unsuccessful due to her monthly bank limit. She said have to wait next month. I waited for a month & followed up - she said still unsuccessful. I told her off if she want to scam me, just tell me, I don’t have to chase for this payment blindly. She later gave me different reasons such as not having TNG or no salary yet, but she was still doing PS food orders for other people. I even told her I could accept partial payment but till today, there has been zero effort from her side. Thankfully, the amount involved wasn’t huge. I’ll take it as a RM105.60 lesson learnt. What really makes me upset is not even the amount, but the fact that I gave her so many chances to be honest and admit she had no intention to pay. Instead, she kept giving excuses and kept me waiting, while taking advantage of the trust I gave her. I’m posting this to create awareness so others can avoid people like her. Lesson learnt for me. Just posting some of the conversations with her. #scammer #tiktok #tiktokmy #malaysia submitted by /u/skr_158 [link] [comments]

I am 26M in a LCOL city making ~$135k salary +16% bonus. In general I think I’m in a good spot and pretty good about saving. But I always see people talk about maxing 401k/Roth IRA/HSA and I can’t help but feel it’s better to pay down my mortgage and get rid of that expense since I am able to. I am married and am planning to have a kid next year. Also am planning to stay in my current area for another 3-5 years to pay off my house, second vehicle, and save up for a larger down payment on my next house. I will have the house paid off in 12-16 months and then will pay down the car in the next 12 months. After that I should be able to put away $40-50k/yr for the next down payment. Looking for opinions from anyone who has been in a similar situation. Did you regret paying down a mortgage and not investing? Monthly Income Breakdown * $7800 take home pay * $1100 mortgage + $1000 principal * $1500 money market (savings to pay off house) * $700 car payment * $300 HYSA * $250 HSA * 6% to Roth 401k (company matches 1:1 to 6% + additional 3%) Assets * Estimated Home Value $154k * $80k in 401k * $32k in HYSA * $17k in Money Market (Savings to pay off house) * $8.5k in Brokerage * $3k in HSA * paid off 2022 Rav4 Liabilities * $80k mortgage @5.875% * $41k auto loan @4.5% * $3k student loans @2% submitted by /u/theBlueKazoo22 [link] [comments]

Hello, I’m 30 years old and am trying to get my finances in order. I spent my 20s dealing with crippling depression and using spending money as a coping mechanism. I’m about to pay off the remaining $2500 in collections that I owe (was about $5100 total) and am tackling the approximately $8800 of debt I have left. I make about $4498 net each month working two jobs. What is a good amount to put in savings each month? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’m always so lost with money. I’m trying really hard to get my finances in order so I can have a bit easier of a life moving forward. Thank you in advance for any advice given! submitted by /u/Clean-Pumpkin-788 [link] [comments]

this is the standard advice, to not make roth contributions in one's 401k, but to make roth IRA contributions. why the discrepancy? if it's more advantageous to make traditional 401k contributions rather than roth contributions wouldn't that equally apply to IRAs? there doesn't seem to be a difference in how either traditional one lowers your AGI on a per dollar basis, nor is there an profit advantage in retirement of roth IRAs over roth 401ks? or am i mistaken there? is it just for the ability to raid it early as roth401k contributions can't be distributed before retirement without the penalty? is it because the amounts of the contribution limits approximate the ideal ratio of roth/pretax contributions for the average person? submitted by /u/Novogobo [link] [comments]

My grandfather is currently homebound and declining in health. I'm POA and the will says I get his assets. I'm on his bank accounts as well. Around 25k in the bank. He currently owes 38k on his home. He has a truck payment. I'd say probably around 20k left on the truck but not entirely sure. Today he says he wants the home in my name. He wants to make sure I get it and asked me how we do that. Since it's not paid off how could I even do that? Lawyer said when we set up the will it would all go to probate. I'm looking for advice. What should I do here? I don't like the idea of things not being paid off. I think in your 80s you shouldn't be paying on anything. We are currently fixing the home up as we don't know how this is going to go. He wants me to sell his home and pay off my home when he's gone. submitted by /u/OneAngle5836 [link] [comments]

My wife and I are within 5 and 10 years of retirement. We would like to speak with somebody about various scenarios, options, and the right things to do to get us where we want to be. That however, is where we would like the relationship to end with the advisor. We do not want to continually invest with someone. We already have retirement accounts and 457s and the like. We simply want to talk to somebody and yet it doesn't seem like that is normal? For some strange reason? Anybody have recommendations on where to look for something like that? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/soulriding [link] [comments]

Answered I just want to make sure I've got this right as we aren't super educated on personal finance and we're starting our careers so we need to learn quickly. For 2026 the max individual roth ira contribution is $7,500. So does that mean we can both contribute $7,500 to seperate roth iras for a total of $15,000 combined? Or do we need to make a joint account? Also same question for roth 403b. The individual max is $24,500 so can we both invest that much for a total of $49,000? This sounds like I'm rich but this is more for understanding principles as we do not make nearly enough to max these out. submitted by /u/what_to_do_what_to_ [link] [comments]

My husband and I are getting a divorce (35 and no children) After splitting everything up, in order to keep all of the retirement accounts in my name intact and buy him out of his share of the house without refinancing I will owe him $90K when our divorce finalizes. I currently make $170K, have $250K in retirement accounts, my house is worth ~$400K and I owe a little less than $200K with a 2.75% mortgage, I have about $60K in savings, and no debt besides the mortgage I'm a little unsure how to prioritize things at the moment. I live in an older home that has a bit of deferred maintenance and I drive a 15 year old car so I like to keep a larger emergency fund. I have access to a 403b and 457b so have been maxing both of those out the past 2-3 years; however I cut back on contributions when the divorce talks began. (to $1000/month) Should I continue holding off on retirement contributions/ cut back entirely in order to pay off my ex-husband sooner? Have no buffer in my emergency fund for awhile? Consider a personal loan/HELOC to pay him back? Or do divorce settlements ever come with payment plans to the ex-spouse? I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the idea of having to rely on my income alone for emergencies/retirement etc and any advice would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/Substantial-Factor95 [link] [comments]

To summerize: once my .om passed away there was no will but it was between us sibling that her house is equal 3 ways. Eventually we agreed that it would be sister and I and my brother would take my dad's house and once sold all gains were his. Down the road my sister basically said her house would be mine but the title wouldn't change given the low interest and me not having solid credit and income to pay for it. Now shes moving away and will rent her/mom's house and I lost my roommates and started a job so shes thinking of selling it and placing the gained money into a earnings to not pay capital gain. I, however, want more than 50k because id be homeless. The rest would be placed in a high earnings savings and in a few years put in my name. For example let's say after selling costs we netted 400k, I wanted 80k cash to invest and pay bills. Is this possible without paying more taxes? Sorry im just possed ill lose what should've been my house and almost be homeless with 2 dogs. Im considering moving overseas and work there but hoping to use a hyda interest to pay my basic needs. submitted by /u/Abject_Serve_1269 [link] [comments]

Was born with Hep C from being a C Section baby and didn’t have it cured until 2-3 years ago. I have liver cirrhosis from it with a MELD score of 7 out of 40, which is ideal for my situation, but I have about 10 years max before I will need a new liver. Is it a good idea to start investing? If yes, what should I do? I doubt I’ll make it to my 60s because even with a new liver the median survival is around 22 years. Obviously not many people my age (36) have liver cirrhosis because it’s an older persons disease so I might live longer but I don’t even know if it’s worth investing at this point. Yes, yes, I know. Why are you starting to invest now in your 30s? It’s a long story. No one cares about how I got here or wants to hear my problems in life. I can’t change what happened, only can change what happens next. Need advice and thought I ask this subreddit. submitted by /u/Temporary-Sound9019 [link] [comments]

I know this changes depending on who you talk to, but when it comes to saving/hitting the "recommended" 15% for retirement, do you include your works contributions? I mean at least until you are 100% debt free and hit the 6-month emergency fund, and then after that you want to try and do 15% without it, right? submitted by /u/Wah_Day [link] [comments]

I'm changing jobs and want to keep my 401k going... I would love to roll over my 401k (not a lot of money in there atm) to a Roth but I don't think I could financially pay the taxes on that this year. Would it be wise to do the conversion next year? (traditional to Roth) once my financial situation improves? I also accepted the new job with a decent bonus which will be paid to me incrementally every quarter I believe until I reach one yr of employment. I will be paying taxes on that this year which is fine but how much can I expect to pay? Then (most of it) I plan on investing in ETFs submitted by /u/Western-Entrance970 [link] [comments]

I’m a 30-year-old single mom to a toddler making about $65k/year, and I’m trying to figure out how to better live off my regular income without constantly feeling behind. I also receive mileage reimbursement for work-related driving, and I’ve realized I rely on that money to help cover regular expenses, which makes things feel unstable month to month. Current debt: - Credit card debt: $1,550 ($1,200 on one card and $350 on another) - Student loans: ~$30,000 - Car loan: ~$23,000 Savings: - $500 emergency fund Other context: - My parents help with daycare costs which I’m extremely grateful for. - I try to keep groceries around $350/month, but that usually doesn’t last the full month - I sometimes end up using credit cards when I have unexpected expenses or cash flow gaps I’m trying to figure out how to make my income feel more sustainable and create more breathing room each month.

my husband is considering crna school. he is a nurse right now. he needs 1 yr icu experience so he is applying to icu jobs right now and hoping to apply to crna school by next fall 2027. crna school is 3 years. we JUST bought a house ($513k) i make 5k a month & crna school is a total of $87k, but it is 2 hr and 40 min away. he would have to live near school while in school and try to come home on the weekends. i am worried about the financial aspect, like my husband can not work during crna school for 3 years and i have to be the sole provider. i only make around $5k and our mortgage is $3k+, so we would have to somehow fit in my husband's rent in his new city as well as our food and other costs. we would take loans for tuition, but really want to avoid private loans. i am also nervous living by myself in the big house. he would come home on weekends, but i am still nervous. i am starting to regret buying this house, when we could've just stayed in this apartment, where i am around people and saving a ton by just paying rent. he decided after we had already bought the house. we have a lot saved up ($130k). our plan right now is to save up almost everything while he's working a year in the icu, take out loans for tuition, & use my leftover income + dabble into what he's saved from the icu. what is the smartest way to go about this? Thank you so much in advance! please be nice, we are very young lol & figuring out this whole adult thing lol submitted by /u/Stunning_Macaroon495 [link] [comments]

I recently turned 30 and have a baby on the way. We are super excited and while our one bedroom apartment will do just fine in the early years I am trying to convince myself that a home is a smart purchase We live in a very high cost of living area where house are still going for over $100k asking, cash and taxes are $10k+ a year. Our area start homes start at $600k. Moving further is not an option because of work commutes and future child care etc. We currently have $600k invested across retirement and invidious brokerages accounts with about $150k cash intended for a down payment. Since we’re so young, and the average first time home buyer in the country is 40 years old, I’d rather continue investing in the market and save up for a bigger down payment to eventually get an affordable mortgage.

Hi all! I’m 27f grad school student (social work masters). About to enter my second year of school. Once I graduate I will have about 30k in student loans that will most likely be forgiven in full in 10 years with PLSF or earlier with some New York State programs. I’m currently living paycheck to paycheck working at my restaurant job while in school. I have about 2k in credit card debt at the moment. I’m about to receive about 191k from a harassment settlement. I’m going to meet with a tax expert, but seems like it’ll be taxed as income at New York State rates. So at the very least I know I need to set aside a good chunk for taxes. Besides this, any advice is welcome. I know almost nothing about finance and want to be extremely careful with this money, set myself up for success, and spend/save in ways that increase my comfort and stability submitted by /u/Upbeat_Ferret5194 [link] [comments]

Here's my situation: I just turned 25, I'm starting a new job and will make around 113k per year. I have a potential side business, which I think could bring in an additional 30k per year. So, about 9k per month (without the side business) My expenses are pretty low since my fiancé and I are living together. 1,200 rent & utilities (I pay 60% of rent & utilities) 500 transportation (parking, insurance, gas) I have a paid off car. 400 Groceries (I pay for groceries) 200 going out (usually I pay, but sometimes not) ------ 2,300 total I've always never spent money on myself.... I really would enjoy going concerts, getting a nice hair cut or going to get a massage / Accupuncture once and awhile for my back. How have people normalize put money aside for themselves and not felt bad about spending it? Do you have any advice or tools you have used to help separate the investment money from fun money?

Here’s what happened. My senior father went into his bank to ask about a suspicious charge on his checking account and wanted to get a new debit card because of this. I am also named on the account. About a week later his new card comes in the mail as well as 2 new credit cards, apparently linked to the same checking account. One had my name on it and it is showing up on my credit reports now. I’m pissed, because I’m pretty sure the bank employee that assisted my dad saw an easy opportunity to sell a product. My first thought was to contact the bank and raise hell, but as I think about it, maybe it will be good for me in the long run? My credit’s not bad, but it’s not perfect. This new account has a high limit, and will never get used. This will give me a boost to the utilization score I’m thinking. I’m still mad that the bank opened a credit card on behalf of an old person who was obviously confused at the time, but I’m not sure which road to take now. Leave it be, or will this account do more harm than good? submitted by /u/haunted_icechest [link] [comments]

Long story short, my fiancé has $12,000 in credit card debt. We currently have $15,000 (~3 months) in our emergency fund. They are working on changing their behavior with spending and not using the credit card, and putting all her extra money towards the debt. Our wedding is in September. If she is still in a good spot with her spending and using the credit card after the wedding, should we just use our emergency fund to pay off the credit card debt? Or just continue putting our extra funds towards it? submitted by /u/daggernant [link] [comments]

Long post, appreciate anyone who reads it all. My husband and I are at a decision point and I’d love perspective from people further down the road on the time vs money conundrum. Our situation: We just purchased a home and put down 60% from our savings and current home equity. Our loan will be $185k. That’s our only debt now. I’m 32 weeks pregnant with our second baby, we have a 2.5 year old, and plan to have another in two years. I take home about $4300/month working 4 days/week remotely. Flexible job. My husband makes about $4,500/month. Our dream was always for me to be home with our kids while they’re young - just for the 5-7 years when theyre little - then return to work when they start school.

White House-backed event billed as ‘One Nation Under God’ criticized for blurring lines between church and state Thousands of people streamed on to the National Mall for a daylong prayer rally on Sunday billed as a “rededication of our country as One Nation Under God”. Against the backdrop of the Washington Monument, worship music blared from a stage that made clear the event’s Christian focus. Arched stained-glass windows, set underneath grand columns resembling a federal building, depicted the nation’s founders alongside a white cross. Continue reading...  ( 14 min )

Abu Dhabi denounces ‘dangerous escalation’ as Iran war ceasefire grows more precarious The United Arab Emirates has blamed a fire near its nuclear power plant on a drone launched by Iran or one of its proxies in what the UAE called a “dangerous escalation”. The fire was just outside the Barakah nuclear plant and caused no injuries or radiation alerts, with the emirate’s nuclear regulator saying there was no radioactive leak or risk to the public.

Canal+ head says he will not work with hundreds of actors and directors who signed protest against Vincent Bolloré’s political sway The head of France’s biggest film producer, Canal+, has said the group will no longer work with hundreds of cinema figures who signed a petition voicing concern over the growing influence of the rightwing billionaire owner Vincent Bolloré. The open letter, published earlier this week to coincide with the opening of the Cannes film festival, was signed by more than 600 figures, including the actor-director Juliette Binoche, the director and photographer Raymond Depardon, the French-Iranian film-maker Sepideh Farsi and the director Arthur Harari, who co-wrote the Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall and is premiering his film The Unknown in the main competition in Cannes.

US president writes ‘vote the bum out’ as congressman faces close race against Trump-endorsed Republican With two days to go before the next big test of Donald Trump’s iron grip over his party, the president went head-to-head on Sunday with his nemesis, Thomas Massie the Kentucky congressman who is in a fight for his political life in Tuesday’s Republican primary. Over an eight-hour period starting in the early hours of Sunday, Trump took to his bully pulpit on Truth Social to taunt Massie, one of very few senior Republicans who has dared to defy him. Massie is the “worst and most unreliable Republican Congressman in the history of our Country”, the rant began, followed by a mid-morning exhortation to Kentucky voters to “vote the bum out on Tuesday”.

The railroad, which serves New York City and its eastern suburbs, ceased operations just after midnight Friday after five unions representing about half its workforce walked off the job.

I’ve always wondered this question. Land seems to require much less maintenance than property. Wouldn’t it be wise to purchase some while you’re young, and hope that the value goes up over time. In 1-2 decades, you either get yourself a plot to build your retirement home, or sell it at a margin. People do this all the time for properties, but it seems not so much the case for lands. Is there a catch in owning and maintaining a plot of land? ——————————————————————————— Edit: I probably should’ve added some context. So, in short, I have no plans in acquiring a property anytime soon due to geographical uncertainty and my unwillingness to take out a loan (I like to keep my cash outflow at a minimum). However, I have to admit I’m concerned with property/land prices going up. I can’t afford to outright buy a house but can probably purchase a small plot of land in full cash. Would it be a good idea to buy some land just to ‘lock’ the biggest cost of home ownership once and for all? Of course I still need money to fund the building costs later but I’m not convinced that those will rise faster than my invested portfolio. Basically the plan is just to guarantee (or at least, maximise the chances) that I’ll have a roof under my head even if all hell breaks loose one day. submitted by /u/wheninshower [link] [comments]

Hi everyone. I’m 19M and about to start my Diploma in Accounting at KPTM Bangi soon. While looking into future career paths, I realized that standard external audit doesn't really appeal to me. Instead, I am highly interested in Forensic Accounting, Corporate Investigations, or Internal Audit. But recently, I’ve been reading a lot of old posts on this sub and to be frank, it’s making me quite anxious. Almost every thread about Big 4 audit is filled with horror stories such as getting zero sleep, dealing with toxic managers, and having mental health and social lives completely destroyed. It sounds like a total sweatshop where people just burn out and leave after a year or two. I want to hear from people who have actually worked or are currently working in these specific departments at Big 4 Malaysia (PwC, EY, Deloitte, KPMG). I can read basic job descriptions online, but I want to know about your actual personal experiences. Is the burnout really guaranteed for everyone, or does it depend heavily on your luck with the client portfolio and the team/manager you get assigned to? If you have worked in Forensics or Internal Audit, what is the work culture and stress level really like on a daily basis compared to standard audit? What did your actual day-to-day work look like during your first year? If you could go back to when you were 19, would you still target the Big 4 (even in Advisory/Forensics), or would you look into other areas like Corporate Finance or data-related roles from the start? I know I’m still young and probably look naïve talking about this with zero actual corporate experience, but I want to build a solid financial foundation early and manage my expectations properly. Would really appreciate any insights, advice, or even blunt warnings from those who have been through the experience. Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/me_danarchy [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, hope y'all have a good week ahead. There seems to be a broad consensus that investing in global index funds is one of the simplest and most effective long-term wealth-building strategies. ETFs like VT, VWRA, and IWDA are commonly recommended because they track broad market indices of the world’s largest companies. However, these indices do not specifically screen for any additional metric such as Shariah compliance or ESG. There are also Shariah-compliant ETFs such as SPUS, HLAL, SPWO, and ISDW. For example, the ISDW ETF specifies in their annual report that they are screened by an independent Shariah advisory panel appointed by the fund manager. I have a few questions regarding the Malaysian legal and inheritance implications of investing in these foreign ETFs/stocks as a …

Just curious what is the normal range for fresh graduate engineering salary in Malaysia? Back in the 90s , It’s around 1800-2000 if I remember correctly? I have been noticing folks posting like $3000 or $4000 in Penang . For context, say $1800 a month back then is not great but ok. A simple meal at hawker center cost less than $2. If fresh grad now making $3000, seems like the country is taken 1 step forward but 2 steps back. It’s not even keeping up with inflation. I left in late 90s and visit occasionally. Hawker center can easily cost $8 -$10 ( a bowl of noodle + kopi) . What am I missing? Or it’s really that bad? submitted by /u/Cheap_Office8701 [link] [comments]

A video of the 2am incident, which has gone viral, showed several people on the pickup truck burning flares and waving a banner with the text “6.6”, and two people on scrambler motorcycles riding in circles around the vehicle. Dang Wangi police chief Sazalee Adam said seven to eight people were believed to have been involved in the incident, and police were tracing the owners of the pickup truck and motorcycles, Berita Harian reported. He said the group had disturbed the peace and threatened the safety of pedestrians, traders and tourists in the area. Sazalee said police had checked CCTV footage in the area, but needed more information as all the vehicles did not have number plates. He said police were also trying to establish the significance of “6.6” on the banner. “We suspect a clothing shop in Dengkil is connected to the video. They will be called in to assist in the investigation,” he said. Habislar korang submitted by /u/WinBeginning [link] [comments]

Context: 25M, Malay. Gay. Closeted by choice. Independent since 18. I recently got dumped by my ex, and I realized I was probably just a hookup to him the entire time. I’m not even that sad about the break-up; he is a liar and a cheat. But what hurts more is that I’m starting to lose faith that I’ll ever have a real monogamous relationship. I know I should move on. Objectively, there’s no reason for me to struggle this much. I take care of myself, I have a good career, I earn enough money, I work out 5 days a week, I don’t smoke or drink, and I put effort into looking good. I treat people with respect and stay away from unnecessary conflict. On paper, I am great. But then I see my friends getting married and building lives with the woman they love, and I envy that a lot. Sometimes I go on dating apps hoping to meet someone new, but my last relationship damaged my self-esteem more than I realized. I genuinely don’t know if I can trust another person again. I still want the normal things. I want to build a quiet life with someone, travel together, grow old together. But the older I get, the more unrealistic that feels, especially in Malaysia. I think the hardest part is trying to make peace with the possibility that I am dying alone. submitted by /u/Defiant-Worry5506 [link] [comments]

每天讲爱你，但一年了连一束花都没有... 近日，大马一名女子在 Facebook「XUAN」匿名发文表示，自己虽然已经 50 岁，但一直保养得很好，财务自由，每年都会出国旅行，生活过得很充实。不过，最近她却因为一段关系开始感到困惑。 她说，有一名比她大一岁的男子，过去一年里一直向她表达喜欢，算命先生曾对他说，未来另一半会来自 Ipoh，而她刚好也是 Ipoh 人，因此他们都觉得这就是命中注定。 男子不断强调自己专一、有责任感，也向女子表示他想找终身伴侣，而不是年轻女孩。 不过，让女子感到矛盾的是，这一年来，他每一次说喜欢，但他从来都没有表现出来。不管是情人节、圣诞节还是其他节日，他都没有任何实际行动。没有花、没有晚餐、没有礼物，甚至连安排见面都没有。 他说：「我们已经 50 岁了，不应该有年轻人的浪漫，那些不实际。」 男子解释，因为女子一直没有给他明确的答案，所以他不敢行动，担心会带来困扰。 但女子怀疑，一个真正认定你的人，真的会靠算命来证明缘分吗？还是会用行动来靠近？更让她无法接受的是，男子目前其实仍处于婚姻关系中，却一边谈着未来，一边告诉她是「终身伴侣」。 她坦言，自己并不反对 50 岁的爱情，但她反对只有语言的爱情。 「专一不是嘴巴说出来的，真正喜欢你的人，不会让你等，不会让你怀疑，不会让你自己替他找理由。他会怕失去你，而不是怕麻烦。」 最后她感叹，成熟并不代表不浪漫，真正成熟的人，反而更懂得珍惜时间，因为到了 50 岁这个年纪，更不应该浪费时间在没有行动的人身上。 爱情不是嘴巴讲罢了，都 50 岁了，更要看行动，而不是听讲故事...

近日，大马一名女子在 Facebook「MamaClub」匿名发文表示，她小时候有一段一直误会了很多年的经历，直到长大后才知道真相。 这名女子来自单亲家庭，从小被外婆带大。妈妈在她 10 岁那年就过世了，家里只剩下她和外婆相依为命。原本已经退休的外婆，为了让她继续读书，只好重新出去工作赚钱。 从那以后，她的生活比以前节俭了许多，常常只能省钱吃泡面。 直到有一天放学后，她路过学校附近的美食街，被一间杂饭档的一阵香味吸引。她看着档口前摆着一盘盘菜肴，肚子很饿，但口袋里只有 RM2。就在她准备离开时，突然档口老板叫住了她。 「我等你很久料，还好你今天来，要不然我都不知道要怎样跟你妈咪交代...」，「你肚子饿吗？要不要吃饭？走，去我的档吃！」 她满脸疑惑，不知道发生了什么。 老板解释说：「你妈咪走之前，给了我一笔钱。她讲，以后如果你来这里吃饭，就直接从那笔钱里面扣。」 她半信半疑，但因为实在是太饿，还是跟着老板去档口吃饭。 吃完后，女子问老板要多少钱。没想到，老板却笑着说不用钱。经过老板的同意后，她还打包饭菜给外婆，让老板从「那笔钱」里扣。 从那天开始，她每天放学后都会去那个档口吃饭。偶尔她会问老板，那笔「妈妈留下来的钱」还够不够用。 老板总是笑着回答：「哎呀，还有很多啦！吃到你 18 岁都够！放心啦，不够 uncle 再跟你讲。」 就这样，她在那个杂饭档口吃了整整两年。 后来在 2014 年，她的亲生爸爸突然出现，接她和外婆过去一起生活。直到她 18 岁那年，她回到了小时候生活的地方，发现那间杂饭档还在。 不过这次，她只见到老板娘，却没见到老板。和老板娘聊天后她才知道，老板在她搬走一年后就去世了。 更让她震惊的是，其实根本没有什么「妈妈留下来的钱」。原来，当年老板只是听说她妈妈去世，她和外婆相依为命，他不忍心，所以才编了那个善意的谎言，让她安心吃饭。 她听完后久久说不出话来。也很遗憾自己连一句谢谢都没机会亲口说出。 她在帖文中写下最后一句话： 「老板，谢谢你。谢谢你让那个原本只能吃泡面的小女孩，在那两年里，每天都能吃上一顿热腾腾的饭。」 The post 她用「妈妈留的钱」吃了2年杂饭，8年后才知背后真相，全网看哭 appeared first on Moretify.  ( 19 min )

现在的百物涨价，吃一餐杂饭都不便宜，薪水如果没起，其实就等于变相减薪了。 近日，大马一名男子在 Facebook「我的cpf够用吗」匿名发文表示，自己已经连续三年没有起薪，今年公司更直接取消 bonus，让他开始认真思考，到底还应不应该继续待下去。 男子透露，目前的生活压力越来越大，物价一直上涨，就连平时吃一顿经济饭都明显变贵。薪水很多年没有调整，让他觉得生活也越来越吃力。 不过，真正让他纠结的是，并不是工作太辛苦，而是因为这份工作其实也有不少让人舍不得离开的地方。 他说，公司目前大部分时间都是 Work From Home，一个星期只需要回公司一天，时间比较自由。此外，公司的工作环境不错，同事之间的关系也算好。 也因为这样，他迟迟不敢辞职。 男子坦言，如果选择继续留下来，工作轻松没压力，但薪永远停在原点，担心未来应付不了上涨的生活开销。但如果选择跳槽，虽然有机会拿到更高的薪水，却又担心新环境不好，甚至遇到更糟糕的公司文化。 其实职场就是这样，高薪、自由和良好工作环境，很难做到十全十美。有人愿意为了更高收入去承受更大的压力，也有人觉得工作的稳定和生活平衡更重要。 如果是你，你会为了高薪冒险跳槽，还是继续守住这份「稳定饭碗」呢？ The post 连续三年没起薪，今年bonus也取消！大马打工仔想辞职了 appeared first on Moretify.  ( 19 min )

How does a Roth Conversion work? Say you retire and you are touching social security and you take $200,000 and convert them from 401K? You'll essentially pay taxes on the $200,000, right? If you have one $1 million, it would take 5 years to do that which is a long time. If you're lucky to have more, well it could take 10-15 years with 2 or 3 million. If you're 60, you're talking 15 years and an age of 75. How do you make a living during those years? Do you use part of that Roth Conversion or try to live on a shoestring budget? submitted by /u/techsamurai11 [link] [comments]

I am a 45 single mom and just met with a financial advisor for the first time. I am an avid saver and have accumulated approximately 100k in cash. I also have approx 300k in various 401ks. I make approximately 200k ($160k base and approx. 40k bonus). My family is really risk averse and I have always been taught to have a good amount of money on hand because you never know what’s going to happen. I know that the value of a dollar is declining but the thought of most of my money being dependent on the stock market/annuities is scary. Thoughts or advice? submitted by /u/Hefty_Trade_3459 [link] [comments]

I have two grandsons, a newborn, and a 20 month old. I am working poor, so we are only talking about $1K each, maybe a little more in the future. Their mother’s family is well off in the restaurant business and she is civil service, so no guarantee they will want/need college. There was a guy on Instagram who advised a certain type of thousand dollar “set-it-and-forget-it” account that would be pretty nice when they hit adulthood and really, really nice when they hit retirement. Of course, now that the babies have arrived I can’t find him or his advice anywhere. I’ll never be able to compete with the in-laws, but I’d like to leave something behind that my future nursing home can’t take. submitted by /u/Shoddy-Bird-3465 [link] [comments]

In March 2026, the Federal Trade Commission sent warning letters to 97 auto dealer groups across the country. The message was simple: the price you advertise has to be the price people actually pay. That means all mandatory fees included — not tacked on at signing. This matters because one of the most common complaints about dealerships is the gap between the advertised price and the final number on the contract. You see a car listed at $18,900 online. You show up. By the time you're signing, it's $21,400 because of a "documentation fee," a "dealer prep fee," a "lot fee," and whatever else they can wedge into the paperwork. Some of these fees are legitimate. Some aren't. The FTC's position is that it doesn't matter — if the buyer has to pay it, it needs to be in the advertised price. Period. What to do with this information: • If a dealer advertises a price and then adds fees at the contract stage, you have a legitimate complaint. Screenshot the listing before you go in. • The FTC specifically called out practices where dealers double-charge for services already included in the advertised price. • If you think a dealer is advertising one price and charging another, you can file a report at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

So! I’m a college student, 20 year old male and have had my license for 2 years. I go to school 200 miles away from home and my father comes and gets me, my sister also will be coming down. It’s a lot of driving back and forth and I would rather have my own transportation. I probably could get a higher paying off campus job as well, as distance wouldn’t be an issue. I work on campus and make $600 a month. I also am A reseller, I make decent money but it’s not stable enough for me to consider it a stream of income. But I know I could rely on it to fix a repair. The car I have my eyes on is a 3k ford limited, minimal rust, and runs good(I would of course get an inspection). But in general my limit to buy a car outright is around 3k i would want it to last me at least two years until i graduate and can make more money in the summer. But the hang up I have is the insurance, I’m told it will be around 200-400 dollars a month. That just seems a bit high. I’ve heard of panda insurance, but I’m not familiar enough to know if it’s actually worth it, or even cheaper. Thoughts? What would you do in my shoes? submitted by /u/-The-Grand-Zeno- [link] [comments]

So, I just graduated from college and have a job lined up starting January of next year. I’ve worked throughout college, have a TSP account for an internship I did, and a ROTH IRA due to my parent’s guidance. Starting a new job at $91,800 with a 401(k) match and a firm-paid pension. My goal is to save for a house down payment in the next 5 years. I know to max the employer match first, but what’s the right order of operations after that. Assuming that I get a HYSA, and a HSA after I start, what’s next? What’s currently the best offer for accounts and CD’s? submitted by /u/Tall_Character6483 [link] [comments]

Hello Redditors! I [28F, based in U.S] have recently received the first portion of my inheritance from the passing of my grandfather. This first chunk [40k] will be followed by another chunk after the house sells [about 100k will be my portion]. My question now is like I said above, what the HECK do I do now? Most of my adult life has been paycheck to paycheck, and I dont want me inexperience with having money lead me to losing it or not optimizing it to the best level. I know I need to find a HYSA to at least house the money in while I figure out what to do. I also need to open a brokerage account. Fidelity? But where do I invest the money once I open that account? If possible, I want to turn this 140k into enough passive income that I can retire early. But I dont know where to start. Help? submitted by /u/unknownfuturethrow [link] [comments]

I have a HYSA (360 Performance Savings) with my mom and a MONEY Teen checking. I’m switching from my local B&M CU. Both accounts with C1 don’t allow me to transfer funds using my login so I use my mom’s login (with permission) to transfer externally. I feel like Capital One might say something even if customer service says I’m okay. (I use her login to also look at her Savor that I’m AU on), she’s not tech savvy so asking her to transfer for me is also hard. I opened a Kids Savings account and with my own login I can transfer between the KSA and the Money account now. Is 2.50% APY good even though I was getting 3.10% APY but taking a risk? I’d like to play by the books just in case. To be safe than sorry. I have a credit card my dad opened just for me to use and pay since I have a job so switching routing and account numbers won’t be a pain. EDIT: My mom said she can do the transfer for me and Capital One said I can use her login as long as she’s aware of everything. submitted by /u/IncomeLongjumping401 [link] [comments]

34 years old, just moved to a new city for work with a really good job (3 years) and nice promotion. Commission checks are starting to roll in. Debt: Roughly 8k credit card (split between 3, all about 75% utilized) making my monthly payments and plus some each time just chipping away. Do not use them anymore 30k owed on new car, 650 a month payment, work remote so barely drive now. Thinking of selling but would still owe about 5k Income: 99,500 salary (clearing 2980 every 2 weeks) Commissions vary by sales numbers but 2k-7k a month so far Ive got my checking up to 12k currently, no savings, no 401k, ect. This is it. Monthly expenses: 2k rent, 1k for car (payment, spot, insurance), other bills about 300ish so 2300-2500ish Not sure where to go from here I didnt grow up with any financially smart people in my family. All are broke, barely getting by. Figured out my own path but feel I need some guidance eventually. Anything helps! Thanks in advance submitted by /u/theblocker240 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone. My BF and I are beginning the process of buying our very first home, and today we met with a realtor for the first time. We had an overall good experience with him, but towards the end when I was asking questions about how the contract works, I was thrown off when the realtor mentioned a retainer fee. He's basically proposing that we would sign a 6 month contract, and pay an upfront retainer fee of $1,000. He said that when we close on a house, we would receive that $1,000 back, but when I asked how the retainer fee would be treated in the event we DON'T close, he said we do not receive it back. I then asked if we would be charged a secondary retainer fee to begin another 6 month contract (in the event we didn't find a house in the first 6 mo) and he laughed and made a joke about it, so I wasn't clear on what the protocol would be. While we are totally new to the home-buying process and learning a lot along the way, this just struck us as a bit odd. So, I wanted to see what others' thoughts are here, in case this is normal and maybe we're just totally unaware of common practices. I will also post this in a real estate related subreddit. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/PeechyTea [link] [comments]

Rental car company sent me an invoice after the fact, claiming I owe them 136 Euros. I don't agree with what they are charging me for, and have reached out to their customer service multiple times but they don't get back to me. I called them and they refused to do anything besides tell me to email the same address that is not responding to my emails. They sent me an automated email yesterday saying "if you do not pay the full amount owed within the next 7 days, the debt will be referred to our attorneys for collection, where late fees will be applied, which could affect your credit rating". If I don't pay, is this actually going to hurt my credit? I don't want this to show up on my credit report submitted by /u/---Vincent [link] [comments]

I’ve been contributing to Roth IRA as my salary is below the MAGI limit for Roth IRA for single filing status. I have a rollover IRA where I keep my 401k with previous employers. My now husband has been doing backdoor Roth. And now that we’re married, we want to file jointly going forward as that’ll bring down our tax bracket (i think) but then I now have to do backdoor roth as well. The problem is, I have already contributed to my roth this year (automatic monthly contribution which now i have stopped). And i have money sitting in my trad/rollover IRA.

My cousin (26) used my SSN which I provided because they claimed to be able to help me apply to apartments and get approved quick. I am 24 and currently staying with parents, recovering from a minor surgery. I was going to stay with my cousin (yes, the one who this post is about) in Houston, TX, working as a bartender while I save for my own place & car but now I don't even think that is a good idea. My other plan is to go back to NYC where I lived before this surgery and work as a bartender and fix my credit score because unfortunately it's in shambles and I have $6.5k of credit debt. My cousin called me to confess that they rented an apartment using my SSN back in Winter of 2025 and that the lease will end this September. They claimed they wanted to come clean since I would be living with them but after our phone call I checked my credit report and froze my credit on each major bureau and I saw two account review inquires from 'WalletHub'. I already emailed them to have my SSN blacklisted there. So, I think they may have tried to do some more but realized my credit was low from my dumb financial decisions and decided to tell me the truth. They send me a pdf showing they have been paying the rent on time. I requested that they send me the rental agreement form. What else should I do at this point? They begged me to promise to not tell the family. EDIT: I want to clarify that the credit report showed nothing about a rental. My credit, I assume has dropped due to my lack of payment to my credit cards. Is it possible it was their fault but it just isn't showing up on the report? The PDF they sent to prove they have been paying the rent on time says BILT on it, so I'm honestly not sure what they did because i'm pretty sure BILT reports to credit companies... submitted by /u/NeatBoysenberry6080 [link] [comments]

So, about 3 years ago, I had a job that matched 6% and I was paying like, 10% into my 401k. I left that job and the jobs ive had since did not have any matching to any kind of retirement and I kind of forgot about my 401k. I checked it on a whim the other day and it has grown 70% from around 13k to 24k. I dobt know if that is good or not, but I'm wondering if I should do something else with it or if I should just leave it alone. I actually make enough money that I have extra left over after paying bills and such and ive just been transferring that over to a low yield savings account at my possiblycredit union. Should I be investing that money in my 401k? Can I even do that? Im really stupid when it comes to money and I'm not sure i will ever get the chance to retire, but I at least want a shot at it and if i can do something different, I would welcome any advice on what I could do. submitted by /u/RaltarArianrhod [link] [comments]

I don't know the exact details of this arrangement yet, but there's 30k payment coming from my grandmother's estate. I can elect to take either a pre-taxed lump sum or 10 year payments (no idea what the taxes look like right now). Paying off debt is an obvious course of action, but after that, I'm not sure what to do with it. I'm thinking about taking the lump and just buying an annuity?

In November 1861, during his self-imposed political exile, French writer Victor Hugo penned a blistering condemnation of his country. The author of Les Misérables described two “bandits” – France and Britain – who had attacked the Old Summer Palace, or Yuanmingyuan, in Beijing the previous year. “One plundered, the other burned.” “All the treasures of all our cathedrals put together could not equal this formidable and splendid museum of the Orient,” he said. “The French empire has pocketed half...  ( 62 min )

US President Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing with a delegation of leading American tech executives should not be read as a throwback to transactional diplomacy. It points to something more consequential. After years of rhetoric about economic separation, the reality is becoming harder to ignore: the United States and China are not decoupling. They are learning how to compete while remaining deeply entangled. For much of the past decade, Washington has framed its China policy around technological...  ( 61 min )

Visitors to the Forbidden City in China’s capital city might find it hard to ignore its magnificent red door, but there is more to the entrance than its beauty. The golden door nails not only neatly line up, they were exclusive to the royal family and cannot be seen everywhere in China. In the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties, door nails were a symbol of hierarchy, and are bound by strict rules. Firstly, the number of door nails must be odd because in traditional Chinese culture,...  ( 56 min )

Three polls firmly caught my attention over the past month or so. Each was conducted by a different outlet and addressed different questions.

Former NSW Liberal senator Hollie Hughes and former Liberal vice-president Teena McQueen both defected to One Nation on Saturday. Follow live updates Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Jim Chalmers says the opposition’s policy to index tax brackets would cost the budget a quarter of a trillion dollars over 10 years, while claiming that the government is returning bracket creep to taxpayers. It’s a slightly tricky position, as Angus Taylor argues that Labor is “betraying” itself because the high figure is actually how much the government is keeping and spending through bracket creep ever year. This is a government that returns bracket creep when it is responsible to do that. That [policy] would cost tens of billions of dollars in extra debt interest, because he’s got these uncosted, unfunded, tax announcements that he [Taylor] made in his budget reply, which was all about trying to stave off One Nation.” What Angus Taylor is proposing to do is to pump the most money into the economy when inflation is already at its highest. “This betrays the fact that the government plans to raise income tax rates to the tune of $35bn. This says more about their plan than our plan … If Labor’s saying that they plan to raise income taxes to the tune of $250bn in the next 10 years … [if] that is their tax hike, that’s their planned income tax increases.” Continue reading...  ( 29 min )

SHAH ALAM : A commotion broke out after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Kuala Selangor branch of the People's Justice Party (PKR) on Saturday, believed to have stemmed from a dispute over a motion of no confidence against its branch chief, M Sivabalan. Quoting the Free Malaysia Today (FMT) portal, Sivabalan said the incident, which lasted about 20 minutes, occurred when a group of individuals returned to the hall to demand an explanation as to why the motion of no confidence against him was not allowed to be debated or voted on. According to him, the motion had been accepted, but it needed to be referred to the central leadership for further consideration. They wanted to debate and discuss the motion. He said there was nothing to debate because they had already accepted the moti…

(37M) Currently sitting on $50K in my 401K. Contributing 20% weekly (~$540/week). I have $61K in an annuity, contributing $320/week. And also have a pension with a career Ive been doing for 10 years.I have roughly .25 in BTC. Contributing $210/week on BTC. I have a fiancée who makes roughly the same as me (~140K pre-tax) living in Long Island, NY. No house yet, we have some money set aside for a down-payment. No kids, we dont want kids. Trying to pay the rest of my car off quickly (roughly $9K left), and some CC debt ($5K). We tend to keep our money separate, and like to buy things for our hobbies. What other moves could I make to help with retirement? I know the obvious is to pay off all my debts which I have made a lot of progress with recently. I was thinking of opening up a ROTH IRA and trying to max that out. Any other strategies or opinions on how to invest. I am not afraid of large risk investments. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/ccrstltdccef [link] [comments]

I’ve been diagnosed with advanced cancer and my spouse and I are moving out of state so I can undergo treatment. We are selling our house, which we own outright, and it should bring in about $250k. Since we will be moving into an apartment, we'll have this $250k sitting in cash. In a best case, I recover and we buy another house in a few years. Worst case is I pass away in the next few months, and my wife purchases a home after. I don’t have life insurance, so this money is going to be my wife's nest egg. I want to protect the $250k from tax pitfalls, but also don’t want it to be nickeled and dimed away throughout my sickness. I thought about putting it into a trust for her, but don’t know if that’s creating more trouble for her further down the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you’ve made it this far, know that I wish you the very best, and hope you have a day full of life and love and happiness. **Edit**: thanks for the comments and suggestions. It seems I need to add a couple of clarifications: I’m in my 40s, have health insurance, and am not concerned about creditors other than the government. submitted by /u/Edge_of_the_Wall [link] [comments]

I think I’ve fallen into a really bad paycheck advance/DailyPay loop and I honestly need perspective from people who’ve been through it. Over the last few months, I started using DailyPay more and more for food, convenience spending, Uber Eats, breakfast before work, small purchases, etc. None of it felt huge in the moment, but looking back, I realized I’ve basically been spending most of my paycheck before payday even arrives. What really hit me is that I recently used money from a savings fund I had promised myself I wouldn’t touch. It was supposed to be for taking my niece to a Stray Kids concert someday, and now I feel sick and ashamed that I let things get this bad. I know some of my spending was irresponsible. I’m not trying to avoid accountability. I think I got stuck in a cycle of stress/exhaustion/convenience spending where future money stopped feeling real. I guess what I’m asking is: Has anyone actually recovered from this kind of paycheck advance loop? How did you stop feeling hopeless and rebuild trust with yourself financially? Edit: I know Uber Eats is part of the problem. Trust me, I got that loud and clear already 😭 I’m not trying to pretend it’s not. I’m more talking about the actual cycle behind all of this. DailyPay started making future money not feel real, then it turned into convenience spending, stress spending, “it’s only $10” spending, etc until suddenly I had basically spent my paycheck before payday. I already know I need to stop relying on delivery so much. I’m more asking if anyone has actually gotten out of this kind of paycheck advance loop and rebuilt better habits long term. submitted by /u/never_enough_1 [link] [comments]

So I just got 20k from my parents, they just sold some of their properties and gave me some of the proceeds as a "gift". I'm married, no kids, wife's not working. Even as a breadwinner, our lives are pretty comfortable. I have a car loan with balance of around 11k, but the monthly payment is only 385 so I don't feel the need to settle the loan since the monthly installment is just a small portion of my cash outflow. I have mortgage but I don't think it's a good idea to use the cash to reduce my principal, it'll barely make a dent. I don't have any other debts like credit card etc. I already have around 3 months of emergency fund and some sinking fund for car repairs, home repairs etc. Should I just use the cash to beef up my emergency fund in high yield saving account? My plan is just to park RM10k in FD and another RM10k in TNG (Go+ or TNG Invest), it's simple and no headache. But I may be wrong, what do you guys think? Fyi, I'm a non-bumi. submitted by /u/mutton_soup [link] [comments]

Got 1 Myvi, newly built PC-rig (first-1-ever-in-my-life), iPhone 12 Mini & Galaxy Z Flip 4. Just signed up for a unit trust fund management side hustle, and currently learning Korean, Spanish, Cybersecurity & Data Analysis for upskilling.

My dad had a fall in November 2023, and Prudential paid us a TPD payout because he was deemed permanently disabled due to a spinal cord injury. Now, last week, we found out he had a few policies under AIA that we hadn’t claimed on and had to surrender the policy because of the monthly payments. I didn’t realize I should’ve read the policy before surrendering, especially since one of the coverages was under TPD, and I should have made a claim before surrendering. Does anyone know if I can still make a claim for it after surrendering? I know that medical bills can only be claimed from one insurance company, and I’m particularly interested in the critical illness and life insurance claims. Does anyone know? Prudential was purchased through an agent so she handled all the claims for us. AIA was purchased through telemarketer so I figured I have to do all the documents myself. submitted by /u/getrekt_0209 [link] [comments]

During my first screening with the recruiter, he mentioned, the company have no problems with 20-30% increment from my current yearly salary. But part of it will be in the form of equity.

This is an international tech company with their stock price increase tremendously for the past few years,and iam mysepf not sure whther it is currently overvalued or not and how the stock valu would go in few years I really need other people's opinions on this Would any of you accept this kind of offer I am not familiar with this type of compensation. What should i further ask diorng negotiation Regardles of the job offer, if i would invest about 1k usd, quarterly, on one of the tech giant, is this a good move, from investment point of view Hope to hear everyone opinions/experience on this.

I'm turning 27 this year, still living with my parents. Earns about 7k and usually have 2.5k leftovers monthly after expenses. Been eyeing this 300k apartment for quite a while now and wondering if it's a good time to buy. Heard from quite a lot of people that it's currently a buyer's market, and part of me feels if I wait longer, property prices will just keep going up. But at the same, I'm still single and honestly enjoying life now, travelling quite a lot, flexible lifestyle, not really settled down yet. I do want kids and a family eventually in my early 30s, but right now I still enjoy having the freedom. Main concern is whether buying now will just tie me down financially for the next many years. But if I don't, maybe I'll regret later too. Curious how you guys decided when to buy your first property. submitted by /u/groundnut666 [link] [comments]

currently living in pkns flat in shah alam built in 1983. im also nearly 50 and still working. i have some savings that i could put maybe 50k down on a small studio. then rent out for the monthly mortgage payment. even if i can get 90% (including maintenance) for the monthly payment it is still good. my (probably naive) thinking is, if i don't buy now, property prices will keep increasing. my dream is to own a small property in a walkable peaceful area (like around shah alam lakes). my flat now is 740sqf (which i feel is too big) and deteriorating . every year i spend thousands to fix. if u see these old pkns flats you will know why. pkns no longer cares for these old flats. i dont expect urban renewal act to ever come to fruition. should i forget my dream and stick to reality? just try to enjoy my current place now despite the maintenance costing thousands yearly? submitted by /u/Real-Leek-3764 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, would really appreciate some advice regarding this as I’m currently in the process of purchasing an older condo in Penang. The unit was advertised with 1 dedicated car park, and during viewing the owner mentioned that the same parking bay has been used by the unit for many years with management recognition. However, after doing a strata title search, I noticed there is no accessory parcel / car park parcel stated in the title (“Petak Aksesori: Tiada”). I would like to ask whether this is considered normal for older condos in Malaysia? Does a dedicated car park usually need to be stated in the strata title / SPA, or are management-allocated parking arrangements common for older developments? Also, in situations like this where the parking is not formally titled, what level of protection would the buyer usually have in the future? Thank you in advance for any advice or sharing of experiences. submitted by /u/kangkorman [link] [comments]

Republican said she hoped recent commutation of Tina Peters by governor would free up federal funding for clean drinking water Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert suggested that Donald Trump blocked funds for a clean drinking water project in her state over the prosecution of election denier Tina Peters.

The former Colorado county clerk had allowed unauthorized people to access voting records amid efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, in which Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Iran has a long history of unconventional operations, all designed to divert, distract and destabilise current or potential enemies The arrest by US authorities of an alleged Iraqi commander of an Iranian-backed militia group now accused of responsibility for 18 terrorist attacks in the UK, Europe and Canada since the beginning of the Iran war is an astonishing development – yet not the least bit surprising. According to a complaint unsealed on Friday in a federal court in Manhattan, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi is allegedly responsible for organising – among other operations – a string of recent firebombings of banks and other targets in France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, an arson attack against a synagogue and a shooting at the US consulate in Toronto in March, as well as – most recently – a wave of attacks on mainly Jewish targets in the UK including places of worship and charities.

With Punta Marina residents loving or loathing the incomers, ‘peacock rangers’ have been appointed to defuse tensions Federico Bruni was sitting on a bench, eating a piadina romagnola (flatbread sandwich) and minding his own business, when a peacock strutted up in the hope of a few crumbs. High-pitched squeals emanated from the direction of a disused military barracks across the road. “That would be the call to love,” Bruni said. “The male peacocks are courting the female ones – we’re in peak mating season.” As another couple of peacocks wandered by, their iridescent trains sweeping the pavement behind them, this could be mistaken for a wildlife park. But the scene is Punta Marina, a seaside town on the Adriatic coast of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region that has been colonised by the birds, to the delight – or despair – of its approximately 1,000 residents.

This live blog is now closed. Colorado governor commutes sentence of election denier Tina Peters Sign up for the Breaking News US email Jamieson Greer also said US export controls on semiconductor chips were not a major topic of discussions with Chinese officials in Beijing. The US trade representative’s comments to Bloomberg on Friday suggest a breakthrough on selling Nvidia’s advanced H200 chips to China remains far away, Reuters is reporting, despite Nvidia chief Jensen Huang’s last-minute invitation to Donald Trump’s Beijing trip this week. This was not a major topic of discussion at the bilateral meeting. We did not talk about chip export controls at the meeting.” First of all, it’s really important for China to have the strait of Hormuz open – no tolling, no military control. That was clear from the meeting, so we welcome that. With respect to Chinese involvement with Iran, our view is the Chinese are being very pragmatic – they don’t want to be on the wrong side of this. They want to see peace in that area, President Trump wants to see peace in that area, so we have a lot of confidence that they will do what they can to limit any kind of material support for Iran.” Continue reading...  ( 44 min )
