Saving for home maintenance and emergency fund

( www.reddit.com )

I see that it’s recommended to save at least 1% of the house’s total cost for repairs. Do you…

( www.reddit.com )

Moving somewhere new. Is purchasing a home the wrong move? In the next few months I plan on moving across the country for a new job. I’m confident I will enjoy the work but also want to be sure I’m not shooting myself in the foot financially. I’ve considered renting to avoid being wrapped up in a mortgage if I decided to take a different path and move after a year or so. I’ve received some feedback (not…

( www.reddit.com )

Putting 15% of my take home pay into retirement I’ve read it’s generally recommended to put 10-15% of your paycheck into a retirement account. Is this just referring to 15% of your take home pay?

Nice homes in my desired area are $750k – $1M. It seems like …
