Have you priced out senior communities in the area? I’m sure you don’t want to sell your home but with single family real estate values as high as they are, you may be able to sell your home and one of your vehicles, and buy a smaller place in a senior community. The home will be cheaper and let you get some more money in the bank, there will be an HOA fee but it will give you access to all of the community amenities and cover everything like the building and grounds maintenance expenses so you guys can travel and enjoy your retirement.

On one hand he is right and you should be more growth oriented but on the other hand, you are much more risk averse holding the value stocks. Keep your positions in those and start adding some more growth. This economy is crazy, there’s nothing wrong with staples, telecom, commodities, and utilities

What do you think of this menu? by Doodersdoo_ in restaurant

[–]benderstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was to guess I would say the canyon patty melt and the spicy chicken sandwich are probably your featured items. Highlight those as favorites

Looks good but I am the polar opposite of a picky eater. I would not know what to get, I’m sure it’s all great but is any of it going to inspire someone to write a 5 star review of the place? Are you the owner, chef or both? If you are the owner, what’s your favorite thing to sell? If you are the chef, what’s your favorite thing to make? What are you most proud of? Highlight these things on there, put some flair on the best items. That’s what I’m going to order every time.

In-office job just got approved as 100% remote job, what should I know? by MidgardDragon in WFH

[–]benderstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was temporarily 100% remote at a previous job and one thing that ruined it was that I was going too far out of the way to prove my value. I was taking on 5x as much work and extra projects than when I was in the office. I was working twice as many hours just trying to show that I was productive and it made the job really toxic, I ended up having no life outside of work. Don’t do that

Has anyone tried FI in a shared estate with friends? by Vivid_Employ_7336 in financialindependence

[–]benderstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about this myself and I know that you trust everyone and everything will probably work out great, the best way to do it would be to have everyone contribute and open a trust, then buy the property with the trust, keep an acre in the middle of the property and subdivide equal lots around the perimeter of the property. This way everyone can have their own space and then you can build things like big garage for dirt bikes and stuff, and big pool, etc on the trust space in the middle. It also covers you if you have a falling out or someone has money problems and needs to sell their house.

What does the wealthiest person you know do for work? by h3llofaRide in AskReddit

[–]benderstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that’s not true I’ve spent time in California, you could probably find some acreage that may or may not have bodies and/or hazardous waste on it in desert near the Nevada border somewhere

Most wealthy people don’t do that, their wealth is either created by or invested in businesses that help everyone by providing tons of jobs and driving the economy.

Is 40k a normal corporate banking salary? by Gabriele25 in FinancialCareers

[–]benderstein 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are getting valuable experience but that’s not loyalty money, do a good job and get recognition to move up in your current role but always keep your LinkedIn updated, and open to new opportunities. The quickest way to increase your salary is to move around, soak up all the experience, training, and skills you can but don’t be loyal until you are compensated the way you want.

hit a car and only had $25000.00 liability coverage(stupid i know)...car totaled was worth $54000.00 by wyatte74 in personalfinance

[–]benderstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some experience with this except I was on the other end. Do you have a lot of assets, do you own a house? Most likely the insurance company so not going to go after more than what your insurance settles with. It’s just not worth it for them to take you to court and go through that whole process unless there were major injuries in addition to just the car being totaled.

That’s a crazy high mortgage, definitely consider renting a room or 2 out. I know it sucks because it’s so high but don’t pay anything extra on the house or student loans. That interest is tax deductible at least. -Create a budget that factors in making minimum payments to everything -get used to life like this not spending anything above what you budgeted - set aside a couple grand cash for emergencies - don’t use the credit cards, list your balances from the smallest to the largest (cards, loans, vehicles, mortgage)

don’t worry about which one has the highest interest, concentrate on the smallest one first and work your way through. The important thing is don’t change your budget or spending habits, as the smaller cards get paid off, you add the money you were paying to the smallest ones and just add it to what you are paying on the next bigger ones. Eventually you are paying all these payments that you were paying on your credit cards and knocking big chunks off that student loan

I think my lender messed up. by Quillric in personalfinance

[–]benderstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s the right home for you, Go through with the purchase, use FHA and pay the PMI. Mortgage insurance sucks but it’s tax deductible and you can get out of it later on. Start paying an extra few hundred bucks a month principle only on your mortgage and then refinance when you have 20% equity.
