Hey everyone! Still early in my fire journey but wanted to ask some experienced people how they manage their investments/retirement accounts. I have a 401k with my company, Roth IRA on one app, HYSA on another and 2 other separate apps/accounts where I invest in individual stocks and mutual funds. Should I consolidate this into just one app/account? So one app with my roth ira and non retirement investments?

We use Empower. Mint was so much better, but we aren’t willing to pay for third party services and Mint is gone.

I just started a 7 day free trial of Monarch Money to aggregate and track - and am enjoying it so far. Not sure I’m willing to pay $100 annually, but the first year is $50 which I may go for. It does feel like a strong step up from Empower/Personal Capital.

I manage my brokerage account and IRAs through one provider. My wife has a different provider we manage her 403b and IRAs through. Consolidating providers is convenient but there probably isn’t really a large tangible benefit outside of convenience IMO

Excel. Dull, but effective…

Sorry, should have phrased the question better. How many apps should I have? Should I transfer everything to one app like robinhood? Would that make things easier? Not sure if I’m missing anything important!

No. We have 20+ accounts. Just track what you have but be intentional. If one company/account doesn’t make sense don’t do it. Centralize. Our primary bank is Schwab but we got the nice Robinhood bonus for our VOO and need to keep account open for 5 years and will do that. Work is Fidelity. HSA is Optum. Business accounts are TD. Mortgage is Chase. Credit Card is Citi etc.

I’m looking for assistance on building your own portfolio in my traditional 401K. I’ve been reading that it’s important to choose funds with low expense ratios. Also, that it is recommended to have at least one US stock, international stock , and bond. I am 24yo so ideally, I’d want to allocate 90%-100% to stocks and 0%-10% to the bond. Any other things I should be looking at?
