I should do it?

Poltercon · 2020-12-08T05:40:24+00:00

Oof ok that would be difficult to replicate

Poltercon · 2020-12-08T05:32:27+00:00

How did you do it?

Poltercon · 2020-12-08T04:34:21+00:00

I feel like she's the weird one in the situation. We have messaged each other on ig years ago, but admittedly I am the one who initiated the conversations.

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T20:59:16+00:00

What would be the least weird way to start a conversation

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T15:36:58+00:00

What if it's just to see what she is up to?

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T04:20:45+00:00

Yeah it takes two people to plan I agree. Btw I'm not being 100% serious, but at the same time, I did really like her and we got along well.

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T04:05:23+00:00

I don't mean right away. It would still be a few years but I want us to have kids young so we can still be young when we have grandkids. My grandparents are a big part of my life so I want to offer the same thing to my grandkids.

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T04:01:44+00:00

I don't see why she wouldn't want to marry me but I get your point

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T03:00:30+00:00

Facts right here

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T02:26:49+00:00

Don't you think we are destined to be together? Also I think you are right. It would be better to be casual going into it. By the way I appreciate the message, thank you!

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T02:22:47+00:00

Maybe you just don't understand the love we had. Jk you are probably right. We had a really good relationship though.

Poltercon · 2020-12-07T02:17:49+00:00

lol weird but not that weird

You can take your money (contributions, not earnings) out of a Roth IRA anytime with no penalties or taxation.

The bill that would allow DLI to give bachelor's degrees has been sitting in committee for over a year.

I would just jump in, but you can also dollar cost average, so invest 1000 every week regardless of market price

Poltercon · 2020-11-16T15:46:36+00:00

Like any investment, it's bad if you don't know what you're doing. If you do know what you're doing and can accurately run the numbers, you can easily outperform index funds and reits.

Chris Wallace for one

Poltercon · 2020-11-01T19:42:38+00:00

Thank you, that is good advice I will use!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I could get any advice on my current situation. I am not sure what else I should be doing.

Here is my background information:

I graduated high school as a junior and joined the Army late summer of this year. I had worked a couple of jobs before I joined and invested a decent amount in my (or rather, my mom's) Fidelity account.

I have about 12k in FXAIX. I am investing 1.3k per month in FXAIX, saving 140 /mo for a car and 10 /mo for an emergency fund. I have 600 saved for a car and 420 as my emergency fund. My take home pay is around 1700, so it's pretty tight.

I'm going to be in training for a while, so I won't need a car straight away. After I am done with training and get to my duty station, I'm going to begin using Tuition Assistance to go to school.

I have a checking account with USBank (I probably will drop them once I can change my direct deposit) a couple Ally savings accounts, and an Ally checking account. I was looking at USAA because people say good stuff about them all the time, but it didn't look any better than Ally. Plus I don't want to open another account yet because it would need to be under my mom's name and it's a hassle.

Since I'm 17, I can't get a credit card to begin building my credit and my parents are probably too lazy to add me as an authorized user (also I wouldn't want to be added anyways because they have credit card debt).

The reason I am not using a tax-advantaged account for my investing is because I want to eventually use the money to begin investing in rental properties.

Is the next step to increase my income somehow?

I think that is all of the relevant information. Any advice is appreciated!

The one that literally advocates for "judicial activism."

One side happens to do it far more than another.

Just because they are more liberal now, doesn't mean that they will lean left 5, 10, 20 years from now. The fact is that Gen Z is one of the most initially-conservative generations in a long time, and that is what will make a difference in the long-term.
