      I honestly don’t feel bad for him at all. When you’re 71 and had an entire lifetime to work at this, and 200k in debt and zero money is what you have to show for it, with 90k coming in, i just don’t feel bad for him. Especially the fact that he blames his daughter and wife for a lot of problem. It’s like YOU married her, and YOU raised your daughter. Dude needs a big ass mirror lol

    One of the things that people don't consider often enough when buying a condo is the HOA fees. My Mom pays only $40 a month, but neighbors in the next condo over pay $269. Make sure if you are paying high condo fees, then be sure you are using all the features that HOA fee provides and how well managed the company is.

    • @diamante1ification

      Most condos I have seen HOA fees go no where noything is fixed long wait periods. My associates condo was 43 degrees inside temp in the winter because heater was broken. Another associate had a broken diswasher which I fixed for them with only a $60 part and 20 minutes of work. Condos in warm area in none wealthy neighborhoods mismanaged trash etc. If you want to purchase a condo make sure you are on the board paying these fees are like blindly investing expecting positive returns.

    • @notgivingmyemail3381
      @notgivingmyemail3381 9 місяців тому +1

      I think you may be misinformed. The Post 9/11 GI Bill grants 36 months of benefits, not a certain dollar amount (there are limits based on public tuition rate, but then exceptions for yellow ribbon programs). If your service was long enough ago and you didn’t convert from the Montgomery GI Bill, there is a specific dollar amount per month based off of enrollment status. However, it also paid benefits for 36 months. A typical school year is 9 months, so 36 months of benefits cover 4 years of school.
      Edit:
      That all assumes you completed the service requirements to receive full benefits.

    We raised kids that turned out well but I wouldn’t have told them they have 50,000 coming. Kids are kids. Not only that this fund goes to them at 18 and the parents have no say, I don’t think you can put strings in this? How about saving within your own accounts where the compound interest will pay higher with the idea of gifting them yourself. Each year you can give I think it’s 15,000 now both you and your wife to a child and spouse of a child with no tax implications for them. That way if something unseen now comes up you have a piece of control.

      What is he talking about? Not fixed: emergency repairs, heard of large emergency HOA fees, maintenance, variable property tax, etc. Mortgage is the least you will pay every month. Rent may increase once a year and be done but owners face uncertainty of yearly property tax and HOA increases as well as every month if something breaks.
      Maybe he is referring to the forced saving of home ownership (better than nothing) for those without financial discipline.

      Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.

    The average mortgage payment where I live is almost $4000. For housing cost to be only 25% of your take home pay, you’d have to make around 16,000 a month. Just doesn’t seem even close to realistic to me.

    • @BlakouttheMM
      @BlakouttheMM 7 місяців тому

      That average might be based on people putting very little down. A large down payment changes the monthly payment dramatically. Second, I hear this all the time from people who live in super high cost of living areas. Did you ever consider that you don't have to live in this one specific city? As Dave likes to point out, math doesn't care about your feelings. Maybe you move away and come back when you can afford it. You're not entitled to live in a super expensive ZIP code.
      I speak from experience by the way. Most of my family lives near DC which is just ridiculous. Rather than financially killing myself trying to live near them, I live near West Virginia and visit often. If I decide that I want to live there in the future, I can do so with the mountain of money I can save living somewhere I can afford.

      @@Karisa1316 it's not about what Dave says or thinks. There are very, very few reasons why someone absolutely just cannot move at all. I've talked to plenty of people and it's always a bunch of rationalizations to justify staying in a place that is killing their financial future. You may be the exception, and genuinely be stuck, but again that's almost no one. People packed up their entire life and rode wagons across this country to make it to California back in the day, these days we have planes and cars and we can video chat with family and yet everyone feels like they have to be stuck in their old hometown.

    No! At 59 minute mark.. don't roll old 401k into IRA. Leave it. Moving it to IRA can mess with aggregation rule when trying to execute future backdoor Roth. This is my second comment on backdoor Roth. Please study the rules before advising. Beggin ' ya. Really need a class on backdoor Roth pitfalls. Nontaxed monies in an IRA without basis can crush that huge benefit.

I've heard that you can drain 401k tax free to make a down payment on a house"which I plan on doing in the next two years" should I just hold off and tap that money and close those accounts when it's time to put down money for a down payment?

      personally, i would stop contributing to the traditional 401k and start contributing to a new roth 401k or IRA instead. i'm not positive you could rollover the pretax funds into the roth... however i was able to roll my previous employer's roth 401k match (which their portion was pretax) into my roth 401k. explore any rollover option, but i would avoid the taxes and penalties from any withdrawal if i could. the balance is already low, so it won't impact you greatly in the long run. keep investing :)
