    Read excerpt

    I'm a chef who is in the process of switching careers. I plan to pursue the Enrolled Agent credential. I'm also an avid investor. About four years ago, I started studying everything I could about investing and personal finance. I also encouraged my sister to do the same.

    My wife and I are in our 70s. Should we move to California and take on a bigger mortgage to be near our kids? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My wife and I are in our early 70s. We currently live in a relatively low-cost, lower-tax Northwest state. Both of our children live in Southern California, where I estimate our cost of living would be roughly 20% higher. As we gradually move from our "slow-go" years toward our "no-go" years, we will likely want to move closer to our daughter. She has told us that she'll be there to help us as we get older, which makes being nearby particularly appealing. Bloom Energy was just named to the S&P 5

    ‘I feel shoehorned’: My father funded my $800,000 Roth IRA. Does that give him the right to say how I invest it? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I'm 56, and my partner is 59. Together, we're worth about $2.3 million. My Roth IRA is worth $800,000, and I've had it since Roth IRAs were first introduced. My generous parents have funded it every year, and, following my father's advice, I've kept 100% of it invested in stocks.
