Hi there BFC! Here are the rules. I think we've been pretty good at self-policing and I'd like to keep it that way, but if you have any ideas post them here and they will be weighed with the utmost consideration and care.

NEW RULES

If you ask for advice please make sure you are prepared to take that advice. DON'T CLOSE YOUR THREADS- someone else might have a related question. E/N rules apply to E/N posts.
When making a thread asking for advice, please include: your age, income, assets, debts, financial goals, and anything else that might relate to your situation. Make sure you read through the first couple of pages before posting - there are a lot of megathreads here that might be the best place to post your question.
The unofficial (completely unofficial, nothing official about this) discord link: https://discord.gg/Dfr7A6B Don't post about discord stuff here, don't import drama, don't ask us to moderate poo poo happening on discord.

Just wondering, what's the status on the "all encompassing personal finance advice" thread. You know, where we always say pay your debts ranked by interest, max out your 401k, etc.

Not sure, I'll ask guaranteed when she thinks it'll be ready. We'll try to have it up in time for New Year's resolutions :shobon:

The second one you posted got that poster probation already. If you have a problem with a post, that's what the report button is for. Use it or email/PM me.

I'll open the thread back up.

I'd like to make a "should I take this job?" post asking for advice. Would it be better off here or over in E/N?

We love financial E/N threads here, post away.

Everybody gets one thread in BFC, go ahead and make it! I would also go and ask in the NYC thread in T&T since they might have a better idea of NYC-specific stuff.

Doing a quick look at the first couple of pages, I don't see a real estate megathread aside from the house buying thread. Is there also room for a investment property / rental / house flipping megathread?

Sure, go ahead, as long as it's informative you should be fine.

Blue Story was either a troll or not, if she was not, then she was possibly the most BWM person alive and also the worst parent alive. She and her husband spent all their money on Star Wars figurines and lovely art and concert T-shirts and couldn't figure out how to cook oatmeal and also once she got pregnant wouldn't stop eating deli meat and her husband was semiautistic and "allergic to vegetables" and oh my loving god, I hope she was a troll.

Is this the right forum to ask about people's experiences in social work?

Sure, maybe in the "career path" thread but I don't think anyone will get butthurt if you want to make your own thread with questions about it.

Is there an ethical banking thread? Any recommended resources for finding one?

It's a topic that comes up in other threads, generally the advice is to use a local credit union if you can.

Is posting a referral link okay if it's not part of a 'scheme'?

I don't know, is it going to annoy people or turn a thread into a bunch of people posting their referral links? I'd say if someone asks for a referral link to something (like that HM Bradley account deal) then you can just PM them your link. If nobody is asking, then don't post a link. Does that work?
