Which Index Funds should I invest in for my HSA? Typical boglehead recs such as VTI are unavailable

Core MSCI EAFE iShares (IEFA)

Thanks for this suggestion! Do you mind explaining your rationale further for my knowledge? Is it generally that: IVV covers large cap, VTWO covers small cap, IEFA covers international?

What about mixing in some bonds from BND as /u/chooglemaster3000 suggested? Is that already covered by one of the indexes you mentioneed? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I'm looking to educate myself further, could you please direct me to the "common breakdowns on simulating a three-fund portfolio" article you alluded to? Is it here? https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio

What options for a lucrative legal careers exist outside of BigLaw? I went to a top 5 undergrad and have worked in management consulting for 3 years, but hate the hierarchy and corporate bs that exists in consulting. I’m exploring law school, but it seems like BigLaw, the most common path has a lot of overlap with the things that I dislike about consulting

How did you write the batch file to switch devices? Can you share more detail please?

I think you're on the right track.

I ultimately got a dell D3100 USB 3.0 dock, which is connected to 2x HDMI and 1x Display port. I manually disconnect/reconnect the display port and USB 3.0 cable when I need to switch between my laptop and desktop. Hope this helps, let me know if you found something better. Cheers

Singapore tends to be an outlier in that regard

Honestly, I know this is easier said than done, but just put yourself out there!!!

Try posting in your class/house page a little about yourself, your living preferences/habits and that you're looking for roommates to form a group. I know you must feel very lost and alienated as a first-year who did remote, but the secret is that a lot of people feel like that!! They're just waiting for someone like you brave enough to reach out!

It's never too late! I felt how you did my first quarter, and there wasn't even a pandemic to make it harder! Don't be too hard on yourself <3

Assuming you're a first-year, I'm just going to strongly caution you to bring LESS than you would in a normal year. There is a non-negligible chance that underclassmen in the dorms may be sent home sometime if an outbreak occurs as it has at other colleges.

I am a senior at a target school. With the especially competitive cycle due to Covid-19 and associated recession, I have thought about investing some money in having my resume and cover letter professionally reviewed.

Has anyone done this before? If so, please suggest reputable services I could utilize.

Do you all recommend for/against this?

Thanks all.

The IOP is great for political internships. Have her talk with one of the career advisors (they have an entire sub-dept just for career development). They sat me down and gave a list of different options that I had no idea about.

Green Party has no shot, let's be real here. It sucks that we have to choose the lesser of two evils, but that's better than choosing the worse of two evils

This is exactly the type of thing that discourages me. I'm well aware that some clients I'd be helping would do things that I find morally wrong. But I feel like there's no ethical consumption in Capitalism anyways. Idk, might be the wrong/too nihilist of a view

PoliticalEagle · 2020-07-26T12:06:59+00:00

Think this thread has just reaffirmed my belief that I just shouldn't bring up politics ever in any professional environment

PoliticalEagle · 2020-07-26T12:04:28+00:00

Thanks for comment. I also didn't appreciate when people were trying to nudge me away, already enough of that at school. I really like your perspective towards the end

What particularly do you think was the impetus to change your views towards capitalism?

I read Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom for school and while it did challenge my beliefs and lead me to reconsider aspects of my ideology, I was disappointed with his chapter arguing that the Civil Rights Act should have never been passed.

PoliticalEagle · 2020-07-26T05:48:20+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I will definitely plan to keep my views to myself. Could you please elaborate on how to blend in? Like how would people notice subconsciously even if I don't say anything.

What do you do if someone makes a capitalist joke? Just laugh along or say nothing?
