Howdy! Here's the weekly discussion thread. Feel free to comment below with anything and everything money related that is better suited to a conversation or a quick question and answer than a full post. Some ideas include:

  • Journaling about an ongoing job search
  • Asking for ideas about how to manage an emergency fund
  • Logging recent stock trades -Talking about the impact of inflation on your budget
  • Your plans for maximizing the rewards on a credit card

Again, those are just suggestions, if there’s really anything you’d like to talk about related to finance in your life, feel free to put it here.

Good news: Another one of my hobby investing picks, CLS, is up almost 100%. Unfortunately my brokerage won't let me put out a good til canceled order with fractional shares, so I'll have to keep an eye out and put out daily limit orders to take some profit.

Bad news: Some medical stuff that I thought would be a reasonable price came back as more than I hoped. Still not really excessive, as American medical stuff goes, but more than I was told, so now I get the joy of calling people to talk about it.
