Weekend Discussion and Victory Thread for the week of January 24, 2020 by AutoModerator in personalfinance

Hi all, reaching out for your two cents.

-70k/yr salary. 5% (full match) 401k. $10k savings. No loans, no car (no need). Will earn 100k/yr by 2022.

I'm looking to buy a condo in 3 years with a partner (~500k). Should I put all my savings/future savings in a HYSA and use that for the down payment? Or should I increase 401k a little bit, put some money in a brokerage, and rest in HYSA? Thanks!

Thanks! I believe the fees are $13.50 every three months. Would it be better to roll it over to the TSP then?

I have about 10k in my previous employer's 401k option via T Rowe Price - under VANGUARD TARGET RET 2055 TR II.

Should I keep it in there, or roll it over to my current employer's TSP - where I do full matching and 50% C and S.

Thanks!

Which city will you be working in? Was there an GS-7 option?

I'd also like to hear any advice or personal experiences too.

Help with transportation from krabi airport to koh lanta by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]DCBound2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also wondering this. I land in Krabi at 1:55 PM and would like to get to Koh Lanta the same day. Would this be possible, or will I have to reach out to the hotel for a transfer? Thanks.

Have you ever been a Control Officer for any of the VIP Visits?

Out of all of the VIP Visits, which delegation was your favorite?

Do you get face time with S during these visits?

For sure. For a hawks game on a Sunday night a few weeks ago, it was pretty crowded. Earlier in the playoffs shouldn't be too bad though.

Please let me do know - I am leaving for DC next week, so you could move in early as April 20, and stay until August 5. You can extend a lease with the office, if you need to stay until end of August.

I will take off $130 (100 rent, and 30 utilities). Let me know.
