Fishies, basic investment advice please! I have a Roth IRA with E*TRADE which I max. 10% to 401k (EY only matches up to 6%), and way too much just sitting in BOA checking. Does it make sense to open:

Max them tax advantaged accounts before thinking about taxable accounts. Top off that 401k!

I use Merrill Edge. Very happy with it especially with how easy it is to manage all BOA in one place

A brokerage account with Merrill since I have BoA, E*TRADE since I have the Roth, max my 401k with EY, or open another entity entirely such as Robinhood, vanguard, etc. assuming I want to remain a mostly passive, savings oriented investor with the potential to play around on occasion. Thanks for any input!

Get rid of .0001% checking. Get a 1.85% savings with CIT if you want to br safe. Maybe put 20% onto vanguard total stock mutual fund.

CD rates are 🔥 right now. Just put $50k in a 1 yr for almost 2.5%

First max 401k. Then open investment account and/or high yield savings/CD as mentioned above

Acorns

Thank you fish, good point about the tax advantage! From there ignoring CDs, thoughts on preferable brokerage considering my current accounts? Got one vote for Merrill.

Wow great find, thank you! I currently have the cash rewards so that’s quite a deal.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid."

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
