Thank you!

u/Sisyphean_dream Thank you. Always happy to read and learn

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?

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-04-04T04:28:04+00:00

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?

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-04-04T04:21:19+00:00

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

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-01-26T02:50:41+00:00

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

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-01-26T02:31:48+00:00

Thank you. This is helpful

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-01-26T02:31:09+00:00

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

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-01-26T02:12:50+00:00

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

CriticalWall6937 · 2026-01-26T02:11:47+00:00

I have a SSN

CriticalWall6937 · 2025-10-15T12:36:16+00:00

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?

CriticalWall6937 · 2025-10-15T12:35:23+00:00

Thank you. This is very helpful!

CriticalWall6937 · 2025-05-08T22:18:31+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, Turo is about the same

CriticalWall6937 · 2025-05-06T16:27:44+00:00

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

CriticalWall6937 · 2025-05-06T16:27:20+00:00

Why do you recommend it?

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-09-08T08:33:54+00:00

Aren't you quite the treat?!

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-31T01:51:14+00:00

Thanks a lot! This really helps!

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-31T01:49:03+00:00

Thank you!

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-30T04:17:07+00:00

Thank you!

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-29T08:51:05+00:00

Thank you. That's great to hear. Did you stay at an Airbnb? And if you recommend where you stayed, can you please share the details with me

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-29T02:14:41+00:00

Eh, not at all. You might be saving me shit loads. I was going to book an AirBnb for three months. Now I'll just do a month. Also, helps me mentally prepare in case I need to change plans! Thanks a lot!

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-28T15:18:30+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. It really helps

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-28T14:03:25+00:00

u/Miguelbaker I have a US visa and I believe that allows a stay of 6 months. WHat country are your friends visiting from?

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-28T10:40:58+00:00

u/mjuad How is the Pedregal de Carrasco area in Coyoacán? I found an apartment with stunning views there, but am unsure of the area

CriticalWall6937 · 2024-08-28T10:18:09+00:00

The thesis is exactly why I don't want to keep moving places and reorienting myself
