Why do I get too much money at an exchange? Before exchanging my cash to a different currency, I always check the current rate by googling or on Xe. Normally (and logically) you get a little less than that. I’ve had 2 occasions though where I received more money than it was ‘worth’. Example: 100 USD was worth 692 Bolivian Bolivianos (BOB) when I checked Xe, but I received 750 BOB at the e…

I am planning to set aside $100k of this for a down payment on a house, which I don’t expect to need for around 3 years. My partner and I are happy with renting at the moment and we are about to move to a city where i…

I can’t hold on to money For being an adult I am absolutely stupid and not fit for it, once again I’m sitting here 10 days before payday barely scraping by.

Where do I start, how do I make a budget and stick to it an…

The Protocol: Using the Money Printer If you have the money printer – as is the case for many of the blockchain projects with the power to create their own digital tokens – why wouldn’t you use it? PLUS: Vitalik Buterin riffs on meme coin and Ethereum’s new “blob market.”

Advisor says ‘Borrow money’. I have money. I’m buying a new house before I sell my current house. My advisor wants me to use my heloc on my current home (which is at prime -1%) instead of using my brokerage account (invested money, not a 401k or Roth). I’m in a hot market and my house will sell quickly. So, does it make sense to borrow money at 7.5% when I could just temporarily take it …

Pay Student Loans or Save Money i realized all my loan interest rates are lower than some savings account rates (i.e. Wealthfront @ 5%). does it make sense to pay the absolute lowest monthly payment and any money i was putting into loans to just put them into the savings account? it makes sense in my head but not sure if this is a thing. theoretically i guess it ends when my…

Guilt over spending money on vacation Hi, I’m not if this is the right sub for this. Please drop any suggestions if you know of a sub that’s more appropriate for this. I’m stressing and having extreme guilt over spending money on a vacation. It’s definitely a splurge and once in a lifetime opportunity thing. I think it’s all stemming from two things: 1) I decided this vacation so…
