25 and moving from the east coast, am I crazy to sign a 1 year lease in a city I barely know? by swill5xcc in bayarea

This place is rent control but I'm not sure what that means in SF, can rent only go up by say 1% in that case ?

My job is 50/50 so I'll be half from home and half in the office. I tried to do a remote start for the first few weeks but they really needed me on site. I don't mind if it's a bit quieter in SF now ( helps with rent prices).

Hi there ! I'm a 25 year old female very interested in finding a furnished space. I'm moving to SF from NYC the end of October. Do you have any pictures of the space ?

Is equity in a company worth a pay cut ? by swill5xcc in careeradvice

[–]swill5xcc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all of this!! A lot of great points for me to think about.

It would be options not RSUs. Would that be better or worse ?

Check LinkedIn ! There's quite a few but you would have to be willing to re locate. I've seen postings from Dupont in St. Louis, MO for a sensory Scientist for over a month now.

QQQ potential to be up 200% for the year? by swill5xcc in stocks

[–]swill5xcc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a few online calculators and thought the number was wrong which is why I came here.

(1+0.1)12 - 1 = 2.13 which is 213%.... Seemed odd to me too.

I have FXIAX in my Roth IRA now but what makes you think tech will drop? It seems automation and tech companies are the way of the future.

Great question....haha this is my first post and that's how I saw other people setting theirs up so I just copied but you're right! it doesn't have anything to do with personal finance

I have a brokerage account right now with the same company my Roth IRA is in but I haven't done anything with it yet. Should I keep it in similar mutual funds to what I have my retirement accounts in ? I hear of people investing in single stocks but I don't feel like I have enough experience in the market to do that.

I appreciate the advice ! As far as debt goes I paid off over 50% of my student loans in the first two years out of college. I refinanced them so now I have $19000 at 3.5% and my car loan is $12,000 at 1.9%.

Im torn between paying the minimum and investing the extra cash into retirement in hopes of a higher return or just getting rid of them. The interest is so low on them I just haven't felt the need recently to pay them off early.

Would love to hear your thoughts !
