“Hi do we have access to an after tax 401k, sometimes called the mega back door Roth?”
But is that the step you’re on based on the flow chart?

“Covered rent fully”
For which period?
2/13-3/12?
3/1-3/31?
What does the lease say for which day of the month rent is due?

Make sure you REALLY understand the numbers if you’re going to go the real estate route.
And make sure you have a very detailed agreement and a stomach to enforce it if it’s something you’re going to do w friends

I recommend the above guide as well.
Just sit tight, be consistent, and in 10,15,20 years you’ll see where you are.
Investing is boring.

Reply to Gyms: YMCA vs vida by cjazz24
Vida was super easy to cancel. I was shocked. I was prepared for a fight bc of general gym cancellation horror stories. But it was super easy and available but to do online.

When you say any type what do you mean?
An investment account is an account like now checking is an account.
You can open that account at different brokerages like fidelity, vanguard, schwabb. And betterment. Those are all accounts not different types.
You can also open a Roth IRA at these brokerages
Similar to how you can open a checking account at Bank of America, ally, TD bank etc

Agree w werewolfdad
I’d add - just have your wife get a credit card. Maybe start w a secure one, or maybe she can get one w high interest, just make sure you always pay it off in full. After a year her credit should be good enough to get better cards.
Why do you want to invest more and outside your 401k/Roth? The answer to this is important for us to give you better advice

Fwiw we LOVE our local ups. But since they’re franchises it probably matter based on location. We’ve had great customer service

Talk to your work. You can have a different mailing address vs your “physical” address for taxes.
We have packages that get stolen and use a ups mailbox for that. When my company has to send me like an extra keyboard they use my ups mailbox.

Reply to Amortization Calculation in Excel by Fun_Adagio5494
I would run an amortization calculator on your base case. And then look at the actually amortization table (where there’s a line for every year)
I would then Recreate that table in excel w formulas
And then add a column for “extra payment”.
Should just be basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication

It won’t matter for the terms of the loan offered. It could speed up the underwriting bc they already have access to certain information
