I know this has been asked a million times so apologies in advance. I'm 24 and this is my first full time job. I'm putting 10% into 401k and $5500/yr into Roth IRA. Anything else I should do?

Does your 401k have a Roth option? Max that too

like

If you live in nyc and don’t plan to live there forever Roth is not the best option. Tax rate is probably higher in Nyc than where u retire

Your HSA savings account functions similarly to a traditional IRA, and the good news is you can use the proceeds eventually for non medical expenses (with a small penalty—but it’s better than paying taxes on the money upfront), so definitely max out contributions to it too. Plus if you do have medical expenses, you should pay them out of that always...

Put way more into the 401k, max is around $18k each year

Roth is key, more 401k if you can afford it but if not, at least up to the amount your company will match. Set some into HSA (only annual medical expenses). Also keep 3 months expenses in cash. Rest of it throw into a regular trading account

like

Maybe I’m just a little confused but if you’re making over $135k on an individual basis, you can’t contribute to a Roth IRA.

Pretty sure that even as a 1yr Analyst you’ll be busting through that cap.

1st year analyst in IBD will bust through that easily. 1st year analyst in back office won’t even come close to that

If he makes above $130k, maxing his 401k should be easy

I just heard recently that if you refinance and your house appraises at 20% more than the amount owed, you can remove PMI. Is this correct? Getting a divorce and trying to keep the house but moving from a VA to a traditional loan and would rather not pay PMI if I don’t have to. House was purchased for $460k no money down (VA loan), refinanced at $450k to lower payments $400/month, now have $430k left on the loan... would it have to appraise for $516k?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
