Anyone else killing it financially during this pandemic?

[sf813]

- I refinanced my condo dropping 1%+ (it's rented out)

- I refinanced my student loans to an even lower rate (have the cash to pay in full but holding onto cash for the time being)

- Added somewhere around 15K-20K into my savings over the past 3/4 months

- During those extreme volatile market periods in March/April, I rebalanced out at high prices and bought at low points, swapping high expense funds I was holding for low cost and better funds. My retirement accounts are currently at all time highs.

- I made some riskier side investment bets that have generated 300% return

- Continuing to save a good amount every paycheck into my savings

What good financial moves have you made during this?

Keep it up bro, sounds like you're on top of your coin!

The best move I made during this crisis was not selling my stocks during the downturn.

Seizing the opportunity given to you, well done.

Wouldn't say I'm "killing" it but inability to travel has been very good for my financial situation. Would rather be on a tropical island right now, but pumping extra money into my mortgage is probably better in the long run.

15-20k into your savings in 3 months is impressive. Well done.

whos gonna care once the economy crashes in november and we become a socialist /civil war country and then bought out by china?

[MuayThailand]

Had 73 contractors staying in my furnished rental houses in February. By the end of April it was 2. Now I'm up to about 20. I'm trying to make a deal with a company bringing in about 30 guys, and I would provide their housing. The company currently pays $500/week/person to put them up in a hotel room. I charge $200/week/person and they share a 3 or 4 bedroom house. The companies project manager has toured my places, and he's all for it. But he is not the one to make the decision. Some guy in an office 500 miles away makes it.

Reps to everyone on this thread if I land that company.

Yes, I am currently do the best that I have ever done in life thus far.

[lilbloaty]

I'm far from killing it, but I've been working full time from home and saving money on gas, so there is that.

[MinisterOfLust]

I am able to saved a little bit more. I have $10.000 more than I had four months ago in my saving account

[AJ1528]

I refinanced my house saving me about $400 a month and was able to save about $12K since March. I’m extremely fortunate but I still feel horrible for people hurt economically by this pandemic.

[scare]

Hope you land it! I like your posts, been following your rental stuff for some time and I like your transparency and realistic numbers srs

Pandemic has brought lots of opportunity to me on all fronts. Main company doing so well we upgraded to a bigger warehouse and all got bonuses. Side business increased revenue several times over. Been feeling pretty blessed tbh.

Absolutely nothing that I personally did to deserve any of this. Just in the right industries at the right time, with the right products srs
