Torpedoed retirement to get myself out of consumer debt crater – what to do next? Ok. So. 10 years ago, at age 30, i was sold an IUL as my retirement plan. I realized about 3 years in that that was not a great plan. But surrendering at that point didn’t make sense fee wise. Fast forward to now. I managed to dig myself into a giant consumer debt crater (60k credit, 12k personal loan, 7k left on car loan) and was at the point w…

How to get back on the pay schedule as my last job? I have a new job with higher pay (yay!), but the day that the payroll comes out is different from my last position. For example, my last job paid me weekly on Tuesday, and my new one pays me weekly on Fridays. There is no real difference to us financially except that I just like the feeling of being paid earlier in the week. It makes me feel men…

How to maximize my dad helping me with car expenses? He’s willing to give me $2000 to either repair my current car or finance another car. His requirements for financing: Take the car to a mechanic for inspection prior to buying. I’ve yet to find a mechanic so can I take it to anyone?

Withdraw 50k and avoid capital gains tax? I am a 26 year old grad student. I have been investing for the past 9 years and I have 50k in a variety of ETFs.

As a grad student, my income will be less than 44k even WITH the 20k I’ll earn in total market gain. I guess I’m assuming that…

Can I pay back a 401k loan after a decade? I took a loan against my 401k almost a decade ago but then had a health event that precipitated a financial timebomb. Looking back to this now and wondering if I would be able to pay that loan back. I’ve seen some limited commentary about ‘plan specific’ rules’ determining payback, but this seems to be an outlier. Is the health event a unique fa…

Unique 1099-R use-case, can’t get good advice because nobody knows Last year I did a direct rollover from an old Solo 401k plan into a new one. Pre-tax funds went into pre-tax, Roth funds went into Roth. So I need to file two forms 1099-R one for each rollover, but no tax is due. What I’m not clear on is if boxes 5, 10 or 11 need to be filled (and as a result, form 5329). The 401k had some funds that were origi…

Owes the IRS ~$200k+ in taxes dating back to the 2000s, he hasnt filed (or paid) in years, and apparently there’s a lien placed on the house that is paid off (by my mother of course since he is so financially inept) He’s nearing 70, has a ton of medical issues, 0 savings, ton of cre…

Worth it to pay down a mortgage to remove PMI and acquire a HELOC? For context, my current loan balance is $485,000 and I pay 2.99%. To remove the PMI of $90/month, I would need to drop my loan balance to $435,000 ($50k towards principle.) Here is how I worked the math, and I would appreciate if anybody could shine some light as to why I should/shouldn’t do this. – Dropping the principle by $50k would reduce my…

Relocating for job offer, sell or rent or? Worried about pulling out of the market. I’m looking for some advice on a big decision my wife and I are facing.
