Hi - paid off some debt so now have income I can use to start investing in addition to 401k. I’m relatively new to investing and seeking for recommendations on platforms or companies that I can start using (I.e., Charles Schwab, Robinhood, etc…?)

I would recommend Schwab, fidelity or Vanguard for in no particular order. Depending on when you need the money, I would just suggest you consider IRA before taxable brokerage account

like

If you have more to invest than the contribution limits, or if you want to invest in a brokerage, stick with VOO, VTI, VTAX, stuff like that

EY1 makes a good suggestion, but would also consider a taxable brokerage for short term goals such as a car, home improvements/purchase, etc. IRA money should be used for retirement, but you have a lot of other expenses between now and then (provided you are under 40 yo).

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
