Hi Friends,
I have only been investing for about a year. Between my Roth IRA & my 401k, I have about $15k. I don’t come from a family with financial literacy and am trying to change my future for the better.
After watching from afar on Reddit, I chose my investments based off of what seems to consistently get good feedback here. It’s been going well.
What sources do you get unbiased information from when making your decisions?
I changed paths many times and have no Bachelor’s degree. I’m trying to change my life. Perhaps someone relates. 🤷🏻♀️
Boyfriend graduated with his Master’s! celebrated by attempting to cook a steak. I horrendously overcooked it but it was still tasty :)
I began my hair rehab journey July 2025. Since then, I started getting it “dusted” every 6 weeks, taking biotin, and doing hair masks to promote moisturizing, bonding, and volumizing/thickening. I finally felt like it was getting long and today I went for my trim and now I feel like all my progress is gone. I’m feeling defeated. How often are you getting it trimmed?
