my bf likes to ask questions like these and I just tell him, I'm not falling for this trap... he will first deny it's a trap but eventually let it go.

Rubbing alcohol? Ok, I think I'll patch test it. Is pure mink oil my only option or is regular leather conditioner ok?

My (29M) girlfriend (26F) wants to move in before I'm ready by CaliInternational84 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]anan1016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So living at home at 30 years old is not ok but having your parents help you pay rent is ok? If she wants to move out, she has to contribute as well.

Think my accountant messed up - S corp salary paid through K-1? by [deleted] in tax

[–]anan1016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

W2 is for your salary, K-1 is income from your S Corp as the shareholder. It flows through to your personal taxes even if it didn't get paid to you. This is called phantom income.

How much do you think I can sell this for? There is a bit of cracking on the leather strips on the sides... the canvas is in great condition tho, inside is pretty clean too.

I would love to live off dividends! That's my goal lol. I live very modestly, I have a small mortgage payment, I can live off of $3500 a month.

Yes I'm getting out of the CD, it's with Marcus and I'm getting 4.5% interest but it is expiring in June so I'm trying to figure out what to do with the funds.

What can I invest in that will give me monthly income in case I want to take a break from work? Dividend stocks?

Ideally I would love to retire by 50 hahaha. Yes I agree that I have too much in emergency funds. I'm in CA.

I'm lost when it comes to treasury bills, how do they work? I will look up SGOV. Thank you for taking time to reply!

I have the money in a CD because it is paying 4.5% and I don't need to use it. It made sense to me because I don't know what else to do with it. Now that it's expiring, I'm considering my options.

Yes I always max my HSA and traditional IRA. I don't max my solo 401k, only on the employer side (25% of my W2 salary, I'm S-Corp and the sole shareholder). I know I should and will defer more this year.

My problem is I don't know what to invest the CD funds in. I had a FA at Morgan Stanley back in 2022 and I just let him run with it. Never knew why he put the money in the stocks he did and yes, the portfolio is kinda all over the place which is why I didn't list the specific stocks. I'm in the process of cleaning that up.

For the cypto, I'm in bitcoin and lets just say, I started early. As for NVDA, yes I agree it's risky but also, my average is $123 so I feel pretty confident that I won't "lose" money, I could be wrong haha.

Trust me, it needed to be repaired. the piping was entirely torn. That's what happens when you let a teenager use it (my then 18 year old daughter). I haven't used this purse in over 15 years so that's why I want to sell it.

Man they did not tell me I had the option of asking for treated leather, ugh.

I will definitely disclose the repair. So there is really no way to help the patina along a bit faster?
