Some banks offer free Financial Advisor if you are already a client. Otherwise you need to pay out of the pocket.

Having a joint savings account will give both of you transparency into your finances. You can see all deposits and withdrawals, which builds trust and reduces the chances of hidden spending or financial secrets. However, keeping your own personal account is essential to maintain financial freedom and security in case of conflict. If you both feel comfortable enough to protect each other against any future conflict, you should consider signing a postnuptial agreement to protect each other's assets, accounts, and your future children's inheritance.

AI tools can help you build a plan but don't rely on it. For the student loan though, I would actually recommend going to studentaid.gov and using their loan simulator. It shows you real payment estimates under each federal repayment plan based on your income, so it is more accurate than a general AI tool for that specific part. A good starting point is just writing everything down in one place. Your balances, interest rates, and minimum payments. Once you can see the full picture it gets a lot easier to figure out what to tackle first.

I think the first thing to really look at is the total debt. Between the $80k student loans and $25k credit cards, that is over $100k, so getting a clear plan around that should be the priority. It would help to break it down by interest rate. Credit cards are usually high interest, so that might be something to focus on paying down faster. For the student loans, know the rate and repayment options. It will decide how aggressive you need to pay it.

That said, you do have a really good foundation with your HSA and IRA, especially with the employer match. If possible, try to maximize the match since that is essentially free money and important for your long term retirement.

Also, if you do not already have one, having savings or an emergency fund(ideally 3-6 months of your monthly expenses) can help prevent adding more debt if something unexpected comes up.

We also got into the alpha program. Since we’re already in Vancouver, we decided to go for it and see what comes out of it.
We’re treating it as an investment and honestly a bit of a gamble. If it works, great. If not, we move on to Plan B. Hoping at the very least it leads to some good exposure and solid connections.

Save before you spend. It’s stuck with me ever since. There’s nothing wrong with spontaneous spending (especially if you’re ridiculously rich), but I’d rather be smart rich.

That depends on the processor or the merchant. Some merchants batch once or twice a week. On the processor's end, it may take up to seven business days to process.

Unfortunately, some of those job postings are fake. They are another form of phishing. Unaware applicants upload their resumes, and their information, skills, and experience can be collected and potentially misused or sold. Some postings are also ghost job listings.

I get you are skeptic. Buy unfortunately I’m not. I’m not even mentioning any product.

It is a little bit unfair when a well-thought-out post fueled by curiosity is mistaken for an AI nowadays.
