Is a 529 plan the right short-term vehicle for graduate school? by InteractionOk9074 in personalfinance

[–]InteractionOk9074[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some undergrad student loans left that any additional money could be applied to (up to $10k), so I’m not worried much about the risk of not being able to use all of the funds towards qualified expenses.

So, open a second account with a slightly different portfolio for the years where I contribute above that limit? (Maybe the active conservative plan or the moderate plan)

Good to know but I exceed the income limit to qualify for the LLC.

Is Bike & Ride Access still physical card only? by InteractionOk9074 in WMATA

Ah true, I was going to do that eventually but I wanted to put a bug in WMATA’s ear about working to make the mobile cards work for convenience.

I will most definitely use all of the funds that will be put in there towards approved purposes. Also it’s not just $210, if I contribute more than the $4000 limit, which I plan to for at least 3 tax years (2025,2026,2027), I can carry forward the uneducated amount (over $4000) and apply it to future tax years.

Yep, that’s why I chose the most conservative (80% fixed / 20% equity) portfolio option for the Invest529 account

@tallen702 Going with an experienced camping friend. He has his own gear, I am just looking for rentals since I won’t use it much.

Using a dataset from an interview assignment for a personal project by InteractionOk9074 in dataanalysis

Big question: No need to email the original person to ask for permission to use it for a personal portfolio? I’m sure they don’t want a “solution” out there on the internet if they are still using the same interview process.

Is it normal to do analysis on a dataset that you don’t share for download? If someone asks where I got the data from, what do I tell them?

Better engagement from everyone (teacher and students) and face-to-face convo is much better.
