Is this a real question?

It’s your savings, but not an emergency fund. Or a new car fund. Or a home down payment fund. Or a start a new business fund.

401k is a retirement plan - not as liquid as savings

I mean I view them similar - in the concept of "saving"

401k can be liquid in a hot minute as long as you’re okay with taking a tax hit. It’s always money you can access, but the penalties for doing it before retirement age suck

like

Roth 401k is also more liquid since it’s already post tax (not saying withdrawals are good)

It's a retirement savings account 🤣🤣🤣

I view them as different. 401K and IRA are retirement funds I do not touch. They get maxed out. On top of that, my “savings” is also a specific amount I put aside every month (don’t really have savings account, but rather a brokerage account for investing which I call “savings”)

Hope this helps.

I guess it depends on if you’re investing individual stocks or something more stable. I keep 20k in hysa. I don’t add to it or touch it. The rest goes into investing.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
