24, make 200-250k. Have ~90k in retirement, ~60k in brokerage. About 35k in cash I just got in from a bonus. Any recommendations? Already maxing out 401k / backdoor Roth IRA. In general I tend to save a lot and have a hard time spending money. Live in the Bay Area

So you are a trader and ask to a generic online forum how to invest? Also you include irrelevant info (income, that's 100% there to brag) and do not include relevant info(stage of life, objectives, risk profile)

Do you have an HSA?

like

This is good advice.

***this is not financial advice. But this is what I’m doing personally.

1. Buying as much Bitcoin and/or IBIT ETF shares as possible before the 4/20/2024 halving. Time is of the essence.
All other assets in the world are overvalued.
Bitcoin is currently one of the few assets in existence that is currently undervalued.

2. Maxing out HSA contributions, if applicable.

3. Paying down any and all debt (including mortgage debt)

4. Buying reserves of food and water and other emergency and survival supplies. This includes PDWs and ammo (probably not feasible in California).



Last pieces of advice:
GTFO of California. Figure out a way to remote or move your job to a better state. Most large banks and investment firms have already begun this trend anyway to avoid taxes and other costs, so stay ahead of the curve and do the same.

Try to get your MBA from a top 5 global MBA program. Your company might cover most of the cost for you.


Take classes specifically on Negotiation.
This is one of life’s most valuable skill.
No one else will be your advocate in work or life, so learn to be your own advocate.

At 24, you’ve got lots of years ahead of you, and you’ve got an excellent head start.
Stay focused, and never compromise.

funnylike

Cool, just stay out of hot water. I know there a A LOT of restrictions be proposed on the west coast, so just stay aware. One more reason to consider GTFO so it’s one less thing to worry about.

But if you decide to stay, you know what’s possible and what’s not.

Sounds like you’re smart, so you know how to be ready either way.

One more thing if you decide to go this route: GET TRAINING.
Equipment is no good without training.
And training is essential to staying safe and staying out of legal trouble.

You ever hear of how therapists will often also have a therapist? It helps them to both offload their load and helps to keep them on track. I’d honestly recommend a fee only advisor to chat with here and there. I’ve been considering one myself. I’m 25 and a little behind you, but still pretty far ahead in general.

Also, give to places you care about man. It’s far better than consuming. I give to my local church and a non-profit I care about. You make a real difference and it changes your heart. Good luck brotha

You're retirement seems like you are set. Just run your retirement programs on yourself. See where you stand. Likely, if I were to guess you'll be needing more tax free funds during retirement. At 24 years old, I am guessing 2 years into the work field. I am unsure what kind of retirement you already have. I am also unsure of your risk appetite, but it's likely large. Do you have a family, dependents? Maybe look into a 529 if you have kids. I'd get an advisor so go over your stuff with you

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Anyone familiar with nanny taxes?
We've always just paid cash to our previous nannies and our new one is requesting to be paid via a W-2.
That will force us to pay additional 7.5% in FICA as employers.
