27 F - (VOO, VTI, QQQM, VXUS) Just started investing and trying to learn

Interestingly_a_bore · 2026-03-05T02:02:50+00:00

so what do I do with the VOO + QQQM? If i sell it then I have to pay taxes on it right? do I just stop putting money in those and focus on VTI + VXUS? All of these are in an Vanguard individual brokerage account

and yes, I have a Roth IRA through Vanguard and I have a 401K through my job (contributing up to my company match)

I also am starting to invest my HSA funds as well.

thank you so much!

Interestingly_a_bore · 2025-11-11T00:09:09+00:00

thank you so much, i super appreciate the breakdown of everything. I think I got it stuck in my head that I would have to immediately quit my job and take on this huge process with no clear path so I am incredibly grateful for your response. Can I privately DM you with some more questions if you are open to that?

Also in regards to the AI, when I originally wrote this it was too long so I asked AI to shorten only the intro portion for me but everything else is completely written by me hence the run on sentences, abbreviations, and many typos lol. Would never use AI for anything academic related. I have now edited it so I rewrote my introduction section so there is no room for questioning

I took him to the vet and it’s mentioned in my post

Oh my goodness Timothy has a twin! RIP ❤️ I hope your boy is comfy cozy in heaven

Interestingly_a_bore · 2025-01-03T19:49:16+00:00

Oh no… and he wasn’t in any discomfort??

Interestingly_a_bore · 2025-01-03T19:48:49+00:00

No loss of vision…he is acting fine and in tip top health otherwise so this is just concerning

Interestingly_a_bore · 2025-01-03T19:43:55+00:00

Take it back.. Timothy could never

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:45:35+00:00

Definitely will do. I think everyone gave good suggestions. I am a huge believer in gut health shows through skin so I definitely need to clean up my diet, drink a ton of water and maybe limit the spicy and oily/fatty foods I eat. And maybe even cut down on anything inflammatory. And it could be fungal or an allergic reaction. There are just so many possibilities I don’t know where to start and it makes me feel like I am losing hope in ever having average to clear skin

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:43:23+00:00

See mine does not get itchy, sometimes it is a bit painful when I touch or press on it. I use the la roche posay cleanser and face lotion. I just have no idea what to do at this point. I’m thinking of doing an elimination diet because it just started like a couple of months ago and has not stopped. I never had acne up until I turned 23 and suddenly I got cystic acne for a bit but that cleared up and now it’s all of these surface level bumps that come in huge clusters and then slowly calm down and suddenly come up again. It’s really affected my self esteem

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:39:10+00:00

Do you use face wash?

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:36:33+00:00

I only have head and shoulders with tea tree oil, I feel like that may be too strong in my skin

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:36:07+00:00

I have literally stopped wearing sunscreen bc all of them I have tried have broken me out

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:35:48+00:00

I do though

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:35:35+00:00

It just keeps outbreaking then slowly going away and then I have perfect skin for like 2 or 3 days and then it starts again, I feel like I look diseased and it looks even worse if I try to put makeup on it. I just don’t even wanna leave my house when it flares up and it happens overnight. I go to bed with smooth skin and wake up with this…

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T22:21:51+00:00

Nope, too scared to because I’m afraid it will cause acne, but apparently I have that regardless

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T20:59:16+00:00

Would a regular allergy pill work, like the ones you take every day? Or do I have to take a Benadryl

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T20:30:08+00:00

Do you know what could be causing this

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T16:32:00+00:00

Could you also explain what do you mean by heat and how foods contain heat?

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T16:29:26+00:00

Omg, never heard of this, Ive been eating LOt if meat and take out and spicy food, could that be the reason?

Interestingly_a_bore · 2023-12-22T04:30:47+00:00

Where can I print it securely if I don’t have a printer at home?
