In early 2021, better to try to max out retirement accounts to maximize financial aid or to just start saving?
200k is so much.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

Can we start a profit/loss thread? People should be able to learn, celebrate, discuss winning/losing trades.

do you prioritize maxing out your 401K or investing in something that has a lot more potential to grow like stocks? and why?

I know the stats HS provide on need based aid. But how does it really work? Could you lie in terms of your assets and potentially what you make. How would a background check uncover those.
