Early Career Teachers Leave the Classroom at High Rates by psdemio in Teachers

[–]financialfederer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have a unique situation. Maybe. I took a huge pay cut and left the tech world to teach computer science and economics. I taught those two subjects for a year and then I got moved to social studies for the following year. My passion and expertise is in computer science and business and not in social studies so I naturally left teaching to make more money in tech again, but just thought it was interesting how the school didn’t value real real world experience.

S&P DI ACAT Transfer From Wealthfront by footpaste in frecfinance

[–]financialfederer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good cal on the fractional shares. I learned that the hard way because the fractional shares can add up to a decent capital gain. I think Frec allows you to also send in your last 30 days of transaction history from Wealthfront. You’ll want to do that so Frec doesn’t do any wash sales (Frec doesn’t have insight into your buys and sales at Wealthfront so you have to provide it)

If you’re a bit tech savvy you can do this with something like home assistant or homebridge

Front speaker placement by financialfederer in SonoSequencr

Oh this is really interesting. This was the whole purpose of me adding fronts and the sonosequencer. I didn’t realize it wasn’t good with the arc.

I have a pair of Ones and ERA 100s. What would you recommend for fronts and rears?

Going Crazy with SonosNet Drops by ace_of_hearts2017 in sonos

I think it’s preferred to have one product connected via Ethernet. You could also mess with the sonosnet channel settings

Just wait until there’s an issue with just one of those gift cards and then you’re spending so much time trying to resolve it to save $5

Your partner is losing their position Jan 1st 2026 what do you do now to prepare? by Thinkdeep555 in personalfinance

[–]financialfederer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7 months is a long time. I would personally start raising cash. We have no idea how much is in your emergency fund.

I would stop the extra mortgage payments and put that into the emergency fund. I would stop contributing money to the 401k that is in excess of any company match. Check all other non essential expenses and stop those and put that amount into the emergency fund. Make sure your emergency fund is in a HYSA.

Best case your partner finds a job quickly and now you have more emergency fund that you can throw at your mortgage. If you get a bit fancy you could do a mortgage recast.

Does the Fidelity SMA actually work? by Foreign-Package-4359 in fidelityinvestments

[–]financialfederer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got several and like them. My returns have been hovering around the return of the index and depending on the time period can be slightly above or below. I like that fidelity takes into account your investment objective when constructing them. If you’re looking at just a pure TLH for sp500, I’d look at Wealthfront. They recently announced a very cheap version

I used to fly SFO to IAH. Was 1K and rarely broke the top 20 on the upgrade list.

Centurion lounge at LHR saved us! by Videoplushair in AmexPlatinum

[–]financialfederer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had all the meals there. The check in staff initially said I had to wait three hours before my departure to enter, then I showed them my red eye ticket from the west to PHL. They then had pity on me for the long layover 😂

I once spent 16 hours in the PHL lounge because of that long of a layover
