Stocks because it is not locked up money unlike 401k
To elaborate on IBM1, there are several ways to pull out retirement money before the retirement age (kind of a lot to get into on FB, I recommend anyone curious to google it). Plus, a 401k literally offers stock investments, so it’s weird to act like the two are different.
My 401k is stocks. The only benefit of a 401k is the tax advantage. The government agrees to take their greedy hands off your money either initially or when you withdraw depending whether it’s a traditional or Roth. That’s a huge benefit as otherwise you’d need to earn over 15% higher return to justify having your money in a taxable brokerage account. That’s said, 401ks are also a huge pain in the ass when you need to roll them over or make other changes to the account.
