This post has been removed because it does not meet the subreddit submission guidelines (rule 1).

Posts must be a personal finance question or discussion with a descriptive title.

We don't allow:

• Polls, surveys, or questions that ask others to answer for themselves
• Hypothetical or improbable posts
• Success stories or thanks (use weekday/weekend thread)
• Meta posts
• IAmA/AMA requests or posts
• News without a discussion, quote, or summary

If you have questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

Please post your success story in the victory thread at the top of /r/personalfinance (well, unless it's Thursday during tax season, please wait until Friday afternoon if the Tax Thursday thread is up)!

You can ask any questions there too.

You may also find our wiki helpful:

• "How to handle $"
• Guides on many topics

If you have questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

Due to the number of rule-breaking comments this post was receiving, especially low-quality and off-topic comments, the moderation team has locked the post from future comments. This post broke no rules and received a number of helpful and on-topic responses initially, but it unfortunately became the target of many unhelpful comments.

Your post has been removed because it is a poll, survey, or question that asks others to answer for themselves (rule 1). Posts asking for advice should be specific to your situation, not hypothetical or improbable, and include enough information for people to help.

• If you would like to post a poll or survey, consider /r/samplesize.
• If you would like to post an open-ended question not specific to your situation, consider /r/AskReddit.

For example, instead of a post asking "How much do you spend on food?", please ask a question like "I need feedback on my monthly budget (having trouble with food spending).".

This post is a bit off-topic here, but we would like to help you learn about investing!

1. Start with the PF Investing wiki page.
2. If you have questions, please ask on the weekday or weekend thread (please wait until Friday afternoon if the Tax Thursday thread is the current sticky). If that link doesn't work, it's the second post from the top on /r/personalfinance.

Note that rather than stock picking or speculating, our focus here is on being diversified, never being too risky or not risky enough, and investing for the long run. Discussions about active investing, investing in individual stocks, sharing investment ideas, etc. are off-topic here.
