Can someone please explain a “backdoor” ROTH? When its required/why? I’m very new to all this. I keep seeing this mentioned but no idea what it means.

Should I throw my entire $6k of Backdoor Roth contributions into VTI or DCA in case of market downturn (ex: $2k per month)?

If I roll my old employers 401k into an IRA this year, am I correct in thinking that what I contributed this year in that 401k still counts against my 401k contribution limit?

I don’t think I have enough saved (80-100k) to justify a financial advisor. But I also was never taught/learned about money management and planning. Are there any good resources or books in which I could learn about how to invest in my retirement?

Need advice. 44 single female with 250k cash in bank, 140k in 401k, 15k in CD with 2.25% interest and 200k home mortgage. My taxable income is 230k with bonus. Have opened a trading account in (contd

Engaged, and beginning to do joint retirement planning. I’move got IRAs, 401ks, the usual. My fiancé says she’s never opened an IRA because her parents started a program for her under New York life. Went to the website and it seems like it’s completely different - some annuities, some life insurance that you can withdraw early (?). Anyone ever go this route or have insight into it?

I am in my early 40's and have about $300K invested and some in cash. I have $70K in credit card debt (no lavish lifestyle, just 2 bouts of unemployment and some major medical expenses, even after insurance).

I live below my means, LCOL city, used car, max my 401K, save my bonuses, etc.

I am going to get a large bonus where after tax, I'll get a couple hundred thousand.

Should I prioritize pay off all credit cards or pay down half/some of the cards and use the rest for a house down payment?

Need some FIRE advice please. I am currently 25 M, with 125k in savings across my 401k/ESPP/Personal Brokerage Acct. etc. I have no debt. Base salary of 125k with up to 25% bonus.

I contribute 20% to my pre tax (employer matches up to 6%) and 5% in my Roth 401k and 10% in my ESPP. I keep only what I need in my checking to pay rent and have some fun on the weekends, but all relative would you say that I am allocating my funds correctly. Huge believer in value investing and compound interest.

TL;DR: Social Security matters.

My wife & I are 35. If we quit working today, at 70 we are entitled to a combined $50k in annual SS in today’s dollars. (Source: SSA.tools)

$50k real is significant. Let’s be conservative and say that a 70 year old couple spends $100k per year. That’s SS meeting half of your required expenses.

Current law with current demographics shows that SS can fulfill 79% of benefits into perpetuity.

Assuming SS will disappear means working decades longer than needed

When you finally achieve FIRE, what are your options to cover health insurance? Any specific strategies to lower the health insurance cost?

Mega Backdoor Roth IRA question/After-Tax contributions

Crosspost from a thread in the KPMG bowl discussing Mega Backdoor Roth IRA/After-Tax contributions. I wanted to ask a quick question for a “mistake” I may have made.

I forgot to change my contributions from after-tax to Roth + Traditional. A few paychecks went through as after-tax and hasn’t touched my $20,500 contribution limit for the year yet.

How will those funds be used/taxed? What are the implications here.
