HELP!
If I sell a mutual fund (aciex) to buy an etf (splg) in my Roth IRA account, do I have to pay tax on the sale when filing next year? How does this work? TIA!

No, you have no tax obligations for anything in your Roth IRA, you’ve already paid taxes on the contributions and the earnings are tax exempt.

Roth IRA is the best. All your gains are tax free. You can buy and sell the same day, no tax!

I pour a lot of time and effort into my job and this felt like a true sand banging. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it firm being cheap w/ the current economy? TIA.

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married. They already live together in an apartment but both want to move to a house to build equity and have a yard, not share walls, etc. Should one partner buy the house and the other pays rent until they get married, or should they get a mortgage together without being married? I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.
