R u i-140 approved? When you say maxxed, do you mean for the year or match firm max?

Markets are a record high..so not sure if it makes sense to put all the money in one go.. for many people wanting a passive strategy the choice is really a low cost index fund like voo, spy etc..and keep putting regularly over time ..to cost average the price

Good point. What about real estate i.e. REITs?

yes 140 approved. i will be going sip route as markets are way high for lump sum. any MF reco outdide traditional voo , spy. i am thinking 3-5 diversified with monthly sip totaling 3-5k

Judging by your post, are you sure you understand how investments work? No offense.

If not then please go through KA and investopedia before you gamble with your money.

what is KA pwc2. also i am open to feedback in what i am doing wrong or not doing

thanks Ey1

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
