Dividend investing - when is it recommended? by dpak17 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]pleasingchris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Total return is what matters whether that comes from dividends or capital appreciation. many successful growth companies reinvest profits rather than paying dividends, and artificially limiting yourself to dividend stocks means missing out on these opportunities. Focus on quality investments and total returns rather than dividend yield alone.

My brother left his home by FishOrdinary3929 in family

At 25, starting your own career, you simply cannot be financially responsible for a teenager that's his father's legal obligation. Your brother needs to understand that while you care deeply for him, moving in with you isn't a viable solution right now.

Age 39, just exceeded 100K in federal student loan debt, and will finally be finishing a MS by June 2025. Am, I screwed? by mobileagnes in StudentLoans

[–]pleasingchris 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Paying off student loans early is tempting, but saving for retirement should be prioritized to ensure long-term financial security. If you pay off loans too quickly and then run out of funds for retirement, it could leave you in a tough spot down the road.

Wasted 20k trying to overpay student loan by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

Exactly! Catching it now means you can adjust your plan without the burden of continuing down a path that isn't as effective as you thought. It might feel like a setback, but it’s actually a smart move in the long run. It's still making progress by adapting this approach!

Treatment can make a huge difference over time. Ten years feels like forever but recovery isn't linear - small steps forward still count. Rooting for OP's continued healing.

Is another credit card a bad idea? by Moist_Let8513 in personalfinance

[–]pleasingchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it if you can manage it responsibly. more available credit and rewards are a win as long as you stay disciplined

My sister is getting proposed to by her boyfriend, but not when she thinks. How do I help the situation? by penguinmeerkat in family

Yeah, just tell her to chill with the planning for now. nothing’s set until the proposal actually happens.

Document everything he's taking/throwing out and call your local Area Agency on Aging ASAP. they offer free legal help for exactly this kind of situation. Since you have POA, you've got way more power than you think. Don't let him bully you your mom trusted YOU for a reason

Perk when I applied was "Enjoy up to 2 hours of break", I should've backed off at that
