I have 75k in my 401k and plan to max out annually from now on. Currently in a target retirement fund but noticing some fees with fidelity. Is there an index I should do instead?

I never do date funds; do a bit of research and invest on your own.

This all depends on goals, how many years from retirement you are. You can mimic a target fund by reviewing the investments in it and then using low cost funds to get similar mix. I hate seeing my money thrown away on high cost funds.

I have an urgent situation that I need advice for: what job to take? I currently have 2 job offers. Offer A (Scientist 3): 70k with full benefits including 15 PTO days and 5k tuition assistance yearly. It was sent to me last Wednesday and yesterday they left me a voicemail asking for a decision at my earliest convenience. Offer B (Manager): 76k with full benefits minus tuition assistance and only 5 PTO days first year (15 days after). Both companies said they'd groom me to take management roles.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
