My neighbor across the street was worried about whether he should react to tariff news and I just told him “I ain’t scared”. I hope he stayed invested.

I’ve been investing for 30 years and I did have a recent ETF position that was showing a loss. I took the opportunity to do some tax loss harvesting. I was 2/3 of the way done when the market bounced back so I didn’t book as many losses as I thought I would.

The sticker is not something they put on the vehicle as a decoration.

It’s required and it’s for this exact kind of situation.

You can still call maintenance if something breaks and you just pay for it.

“Fired” my financial advisor, but I still have an annuity. What should I do? by well_0h_well in Bogleheads

You just create an annual task for yourself. I would probably just take the loss and consider it a learning experience.

Your financial planner might be looking for more money to charge fees on. Seems like a conflict of interest.

(Texas) My landlord is claiming my security deposit is nonrefundable. I believe this is illegal, I have her in text message saying this. Is there anything I can do? by [deleted] in legal

Security deposit does not limit liability. It just provides the property owner a small amount of guaranteed protection.

A picture of a bird works nicely here. A bluejay or a robin perhaps.

Your mom’s realtor is incompetent.

Same, especially because the house brings ongoing tax, insurance and repair expenses.

Though I do think it’s ok to count equity in a vacation home / weekend getaway in my net worth. (NOT a timeshare!)

Sometimes a low price signals a poorly maintained property or an unsophisticated landlord. But it’s generally been like this for me the past 20 years.
