Profited from selling my house… now what? I (31, male, divorced, one 7 year old child) recently sold a house and started renting an apartment. I realize that is already negative marks for some, but it’s a personal decision that I made in part because I do not intend to live in this area long enough to justify buying again; and in part to cross off a bucket-list item for myself (I’ve alw…

I have a 401k through work, through Fidelity. There is an option for both pre tax, and Roth contributions. They go to one account. How does this work? Is this intentional? Why aren’t there two accounts? How will this affect taxes when I eventually retire? https://imgur.com/a/ju0EtCD submitted by /u/baineschile

3% Mortgage Too Good To Give Up? We bought a fabulous house in a great neighborhood with good schools. Raising kids and it has been a great spot. Coming to the end of this stage of life.

LPT: When you drop off dry cleaning, take a couple of quick photos of everything I’ll do this from now on after my regular cleaners lost a pair of my dress pants. I’m not a clothes horse, but have enough variety that I could not remember exactly which pair I’d dropped off…but I was damn sure the black corduroy jeans I got back were not it. submitted by /u/Tweetystraw
