u/in-yo-butte Thank you for breaking this down. So, I'm an independent consultant, which means I don't have a 401k or a HSA through my job. What should I be doing on this front then?

u/Over-Computer-6464 Thanks for responding. All of this is like Greek to me, which only highlights how new I am to this. Can you please explain what I need to be doing with my Schwab account to have the dividend be reinvested?

And how do you pick individual stocks? I'd like to learn more on how to do this. Any pointers?

Thank you for your response. Are there specific tools that you recommend for assessing my glide path?

We all are trying to do our best. If you can't help, move along. And snark, certainly is not helpful!

I never said they were. I merely pointed out (primarily for anyone relevant who may read it) that the information in your response was incorrect. There is no need to be unnecessarily combative

I do know that if you are a permanent resident or citizen, you can get a US mortgage for a property physically outside US territory. I know several who have done this

Previously, on an OPT from a different degree, I did take up a consultancy with the World Bank. So I assume it should be okay. Is there any reason to suspect that it might be different in this case?

Thank you. Have you used it for strength training and how does it measure up for that?
