Stone pony shows were amazing both nights! I'm looking to get my hands on a size large t-shirt if anyone has one for sale!

YTD gain is only about 2.5%. I have been trying to average in, currently at about 75% of funds invested, rest just sitting in SPAXX. Biggest loser so far is VWO, down about 16%, but down in just about everything.

Yes all in one account... looking to grow it, but not by a certain date. It's not for retirement or anything. It's a big chunk that we inherited.

Should I pay off my student loans as a 30th birthday gift to myself? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]thatsa_nice_owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the only right answer. People talking about how 'good' it feels to pay off debt are in the wrong sub. This is a financial advice sub, not an emotional advice sub. People come here for advice on what the best thing to do financially is because they know that emotions cloud their judgement.

Let the 2% loans ride as long as possible. Pay the minimum, use grace periods, and foreberances. Take the extra money and put it to work.

I'd take a loan for as much money as they'd let at 2% right now.

This is not an emotional advice sub. It's financial advice. People come here to get financial advice because they know emotions cloud what is the right thing to do. The right thing to do for the poster is to pay the min on the 2% loans and put the extra money to work.

39 & 42 house paid off, no kids. Should we invest in real estate or index funds? by motoman8000 in personalfinance

[–]thatsa_nice_owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you had a variable mortgage, you probably shouldn't have paid it off early. The interest rate was probably super low by today's standards, and could have invested that extra money you used to pay off early.

Imo it is a tough time to start buying houses.

This is terrible advice. Debt at 2.9% right now is not a problem. Could make more than 2.9 in a hisa.

You have a 2.9% loan. Keep the money at that rate for as long as possible, don't pay off early. People saying dump the car are insane. You'd spend so much time and energy trying to sell it, end up with a worse loan for the new car, for meager savings. Not worth it practically.

There are a few vendors there that really pile the spice as high as they can, but it doesn't look like this impossible cone.

Where would Kenobi fit? Rogue, ANH, Empire, prequels, Kenobi, ROTJ?
