Like I said , not sure. From what I can tell they're going on some website and spreading fear with certain phrases in the hopes that everyone will start panic selling.
Not sure which is a better use of funds right now.

Why would anyone invest substantially in stocks when purchasing real estate/rental property results in an actual, tangible asset that isn't 90% marshmallowfluff
>>1036205
3 reasons:
1. Diversity
2. You can't invest in real estate until you have saved up a sizable deposit
3. Superior Liquidity
Barrier of entry is much lower for stocks. Also, property requires physically researching, while stocks research can be done sitting on your ass.

How do people even get into credit card debt?
I could understand getting into debt for something like student loans or something, but what are people buying with credit cards that they need in order to make money and that they expect will make them enough to pay it back?
One of mmy Junkie family members Racked up a couple thousand a month buying returnable Walgreens gift cards....
Simple, they make the minimum monthly payment significantly small. Lure you in with 0% interest for 12 months, followed by 17 to 24% after that. Really easy to convince yourself you'll pay it back later. Do this long enough, while maintaining the minimum, and having the card raise your limit without asking, it goes out of control. The key mistake made is using more money on the credit card than you have available in cash. Smart people can use credit cards to their advantage, but most aren't

This. And ignorance. I speak from experience :(
If only I could turn back time...
In order to make some more money this winter, I decided to start my own small business doing snow removal. I have no history in this business and am doing it on my own. I also got this going last minute and had trouble finding anyone who was both interested and that met my requirements (I don't have a plow so I can only do driveways, sidwalks, walkways, etc but no parking lots).
I approached an apartment management company and was given charge of shoveling for 4 buildings that didn't have caretakers. Because I don't have any professional experience and...

Dont pay it.
Send them a letter back with the invoice and say you are disputing it.
If you didnt sign a contract with them then they cant do shit.
Disclaimer: im not a lawyer, but it's what i would do in this situation.
>>1036131
I think you can actually sue them for paying you less than minimum wage/hiring you without proper documentation. Regardless of what they were giving you off of your rent.
Send them a bill for 312$ to cover the harm they gave you from food poisoning
Let's say I wired $300k to a company account (not mine) in Hong Kong last year. And let's say that $300k gets wired back to my personal account in the US next year.
Does either wire transfer raise a flag/SAR or get automatically reported to the IRS?
Does it carry a tax reporting requirement on my next filing?
Thank you.
CTR will be filed but make sure you have docs as to where money came from if IRS asks
>>1036152
docs as in "invoices"?
What is SAR in this case?
When I see SAR, I think "special administration region", especially when talking about HK.
Did you invest in a company in HK?
Welp. I messed up. Big time. Now my credit card debt is too high. Trying to pay them down as best as I can, but most of my paycheck goes to bills, student loan, car payment, and rent. I surmise across 4 cards there is 12k I have to pay down. Trying not to get a second job since my first job takes up so much of my time (work 10-12 hours a day), but I will if it comes down to it. Is it worth it to get a loan? I don't really know anything about finances. Pls help.

This.
That doesn't mean you can't succeed in a crowded playing field. It just means you can't be below average and make it. That's why 47% of Americans don't make enough money to pay taxes.

Maybe you don't have enough money.

What did you expect? You're watching numbers tick up and down and setting auto sell points to help prevent loss. Yes, it's boring as fuck and compute programs exist to help with it for that reason.
Also, are you "day trading" or actually day trading?
If you don't have 25k in stocks or more right now you are very limited in what you can do. If you're stuck having to hold all stocks for 24 hours (USA laws) before selling then you're in the mock day trader class where...

Where are you interning this summer /biz/?
HP
>>1035647
Hey,
I'm not interning, but I run a small business.
Is it possible for me to get free labour for a month or two with 'internships'
How do I get them? Go to local community college, put up flyers?
Will anyone actually intern, or do people only want to intern for big companies?
>>1035944
Unpaid interns are not allowed to do work integral to the functioning of the company. They can watch and take notes, get coffee, maybe run some small errands and make copies but not much more than that.
How are you preparing for the impending crash of the housing bubbles?

I want to neet but I also want to start a family, help
i would advice your parents to kick you out of the house.

then I'll just be homeless

I understand you.
The best you can do is to retire into comfy neetdom. Getting educated and working hard naturally procures a dank qt azn wife, and having her will keep you disciplined towards retirement. T a k e t h e p l u n g e.
I just got accepted into a top 30 United States MD program. If I don't get any scholarships, then I'm potentially looking at upwards of $300,000 of student loan debt by the time I'm in any position to begin paying it off.
Is this a financially sound decision? Lately I can't escape this nagging feeling that I may have been better off going into investment banking. I have the brains as well as the gut for it, but I always considered medicine a more noble profession. Now, as I grow older, I'm turning more and more into a money-hungry scumbag like...

>Is this a financially sound decision?
let me get this straight for you. financially, these options are roughly equivalent if you dont get a scholarship:
- graduating as a Doctor in the US
- graduating as Doctor in Europe and own a house + Porsche
Your choice.
>>1035509
i dropped out of a lower tier MD school after a semester so i kind of have some valid input on this topic. (i didn't drop out because of finances but because i hated studying medicine and i didnt want to be working ridiculous hours for the rest of my life.)
your student loan balance is a non-issue. you will be financing your education with federal loans (grad plus loans.) grad plus loans are eligible for pay as you earn, whereby you pay (gross income - 1.5x federal poverty level for your family size) *...

I'm a 30yr T-bond trader, but I could trade almost any market. Ask me about some stock/future to analyze, and whether you want a fundamental picture, or a technical one, and also give me the time frame of your trade/investment. I'll take very few other questions, unless they pique my interest.
Also 30yr is the maturity of the T-bond not my age.
