Well folks, after 60 agonizing days of dealing with car salespeople, test-driving far too many vehicles, visiting two auto mechanics to diagnose and fix my current car, and wasting an unhealthy amount of time on online research, I have decided not to buy a new car. I know this may disappoint everyone who generously shared advice and recommendations. Believe me, I listened. At the top of my list were the Lexus GX 550, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Highlander, Rivian R1S and R2, Range Rover Sport, and Tesla Model Y Performance with FSD. I am sure I would enjoy every one…

    Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich continues his discussion with Mike and Noel in part two of their financial deep dive.

That is why it helps…

Pulling money from your 401(k) early can feel like breaking the rules. We’re often told never to touch that money before age 59½.   But when life throws you financial curveballs, you may have little choice other than to dip into your plan a bit early.   The IRS allows for early withdrawals if you qualify for specific hardship distributions. In these situations, you may be able to access your retirement savings without having to pay the standard 10% early withdrawal fee.  In most cases, you will still have to pay income taxes on the money you withdraw, however.   It is important to note that each…
