My brother is looking to start investing his money in low risk investments but ones that would generate some passive income, and I don't really know the best way to steer him long term without basically managing his funds for him. What are the best resources for beginners who are just beginning to explore investing their money? He needs a bit more than just a finance for dummies book but I don't think he'd need something too extensive.

I’m targeting dividend growth ones since it’s a Roth IRA ..

What movie title would you use to describe your current job?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
