Investing for the brain damaged

( www.reddit.com )

Investing for the brain damaged Embarrassing, but I can’t get help if I’m not forthcoming. After a head injury, certain things are just beyond me. I can invest 50- 100/ month. I thought a fund that is based off the s&p 500 would be simple? I signed up to ally invest for the $100 bonus, in a self directed account. Perhaps I should change that to robo, or another account entirel…

Been passively investing in 401k but want to be more serious about my finances. Hey everyone, I’m 25 y/o living/working in the US making a $97k salary.

Besides my terrible spending habits, I pay $1500/mo rent in a L/MCOL area and can spend probably another $1000/mo on …

Investing or Student Loans

( www.reddit.com )

Investing or Student Loans Student loan payments are coming back and I’m torn on how I should best pay them off. I had about $60k in student loans coming out of college – half in my dads name, half in mine. I paid the 30k in my dads name off recently as they had the higher interest rates. That leaves me with about 30k left across 5 loans. Over the last few years I have ma…

Meanwhile, audiences are dying to re-watch shows that never had a life on DVD after their initial run because they didn’t secure the proper music usage rights. I’m thinking mostly about the millennial hit Ed, but also …
