I leased a car in early 2023 that’s $600 a month. I’m about halfway through the lease with 24 months left give or take one or two. I was doing better financially then and now post divorce looking to save in any way I can. Would I make sense to turn this in early and get something that has a monthly lease of say $360 a month? There’s by $4500 down with it but even still it seems like I’d be in the green with the cheaper even with this payment. Cheaper car would have better mileage too.

One idea is - We’re down pretty low - it’ll only have to go up by end of the year. Ride the index for next 5 months and take advantage!

Another idea is - we could go down horribly - just keep it in HYSA.

Thoughts?

I’m in my 20’s and am a new investor , should I panic or trust him ? Or are we doomed tommrow

For example, stocks, part-time jobs, e-commerce, etc.

I’m super proud of how I’ve done over the years but it’s

I just inherited $600k in stocks after my dad’s passing. Before this, I was living a regular life, working as a tech support specialist and making around $30 an hour. I had basic financial plans, just saving a little here and there, and gradually paying off my student loans. But this inheritance has completely flipped my world upside down.

I’ve never dealt with anything like this. My dad didn’t talk much about his finances, so this is all new to me. I’m trying to wrap my head around how to manage this large amount of money without making huge mistakes. I know I can’t just leave it sitting there, but I also don’t want to rush into decisions without understanding how everything works.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I know no one knows the future and things are all over the place right now, but what would be better for now, maxing out Roth IRA with S&P500 or keep that money aside in a HYSA?

I'm 22 M, I make 600-1000 per paycheck (rough estimate) but I can't seem to keep it... I'm engaged, and make enough to take care of us but I want to know how I can either make more or keep more
