Yes. I bonds.
It's legal

As long as you have SSN, you are legally allowed to invest in ibonds.

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

What are ppl's thoughts on Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for 401(k)s?

Just read this girl's post about them last night
https://www.femaleinfinance.com/blog/maxout401k and why she only maxes out her 401(k) to the company matching instead of full bc it will affect her retiring early. 🤔

Not sure where I stand on it; I was planning to max it out to the max contribution every year, but I have to do some more digging and understanding how RMD affects me.
