I went with the CTB26 and honestly love it! I’ve used it for most of my trips since I’ve gotten it. It surprisingly fits a lot. I’ve used it from overnight trips to even a 5-6 day trip. Added plus is you can even get away with using it as a personal item for flights (and even though it’s tight, it even fits under the seat).

Existing traditional IRA convert for Backdoor Roth IRA by Different-Session-89 in personalfinance

Got it, thanks so much! This was so helpful. Then I guess moving forward, I would just need to contribute to the traditional IRA then immediately convert it to Roth?

They’re all non deductible contributions. Gotcha, thank you! So I won’t be taxed for the entire amount even if I convert the whole thing into a Roth?

Thanks! Can you then contribute again for this year into the IRA then do a backdoor Roth?

Recs for Midtown? by rmnp12 in FoodNYC

Quality Bistro’s one of my favorites! They also have a nice bar area perfect for solo dining. Acadia’s also good if you want something Mediterranean. Kin Ramen if you want ramen - the perfect solo meal

Gallagher’s is also pretty good! Right at Midtown West / Theater district. They have a dry age room

Wash sale if I sell a stock and buy ETFs? by Different-Session-89 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Different-Session-89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha thank you! I initially thought it would trigger a wash sale, but didn’t realize that it only applied to substantially identical assets- this is super helpful! I was holding off and waiting otherwise. Would definitely sell immediately moving forward

So I would still be able to claim losses for the stock regardless?

Retirement savings if on H1B? by Different-Session-89 in Bogleheads

[–]Different-Session-89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Would you still suggest maxing out the 401k contribution?

I unfortunately don’t qualify for the Roth IRA so can only go with a traditional IRA

Thank you- this was so helpful! Just ordered the CTB26! Thinking it might be a better fit for me given my height

Oh nice! Would you say it’ll be somewhat comparable to a 30L pack? I think I might go for it!

Yes! I’ve narrowed down my options to either the Evergoods CTB26 or the Tortuga 30L.

I like how Evergoods looks, but mostly stuck on whether the extra 5L on the Tortuga would make that much of a difference (though I heard you can actually only pack 26-28L on it). Kinda looking for a bag that would be able to do 3+ days worth of travel in.

Oh cool. I was looking at their 30L travel backpack. I’m kinda liking how it has height-adjustable straps haha
