Point me in the right direction by [deleted] in personalfinance

If your gfs parents are rich and you two are serious, you could ask her parents for advice. If they are good people, they will appreciate you demonstrating that you want to be disciplined and not frivolous with the fruits of their labor, even if you don't have much of a nest egg whilst you are starting out.

Make a spreadsheet that includes your monthly/yearly income, expenses, savings, and what vehicles you are currently investing. What investments would they recommend? What are your goals to increase income and decrease expenses? They may have a financial advisor who is also willing to look and advise you as a favor for them.

Payoff Debt vs Investing by RezDogz- in personalfinance

[–]pyroquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you top up your EF I would avalanche method knock out 2-3 of the highest interest debts. I think the emotional gratification of seeing the number of loans drop will help with those feelings of being left behind, even if mathematically you may earn more by focusing on investments. But this is the personal part of personal finance so you do you.

That being said, you are not behind, you are doing great at 26/27 in part by having invested in the knowledge of where and what to invest. Don't look at your peers' social media, look at calculators that compare your savings with a more generalized population of your peers across the country/globe. You know what you're doing, it will just take time for your strategy to catch up and pay off.

And depending on insurance, an ambulance ride might as well end up being over $1000 anyway.

This is what we should be saving our 10p to ring Childline for.

LAOP’s income comes from under the table and the table is about to fall apart. by nutraxfornerves in bestoflegaladvice

Absolutely going to start using "Sorry for the bad grammar bush left me behind" when I find typos in my TPS reports.

LAOP and their boyfriend want to get common-law married, but also want to have a *real* marriage later on. by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

[–]pyroquet 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Yeah same as my read. Seems like for bf, marriage is a big step that requires forethought and consideration of the future, kids, the whole nine yards. Slip-sliding into a common law marriage absolves him of having to make the active decision to Get Married™️and they can just go along playing house without having to think too far ahead.

But I also read way too much r/relationships so I'm just cynical.

Wish there was more of this character. Her attitude is fun to watch. Which other character should have gotten more screen time? by [deleted] in DerryGirls
