I'm wanting to know what people think is better. Kaiser or ucla health for working as an admin staff. Ucla seems to have good pay from what I see on the job descriptions but kaiser only shows pay grade. Ucla has pension and a raise it seems every year. But I was alao told kaiser offers a dollar each year as a raise. I want a place I can grown and stsy Long term. Any one have any insight on kaiser and what they offered.UCLA Health Kaiser Permanente

Love the attempt at halo effect. And also appreciate the transparency. Sorry for your loss 8yrs ago and glad to see that you’ve made good use of the inheritance.
Other than that there’s no much financial advice you can provide anyone other that max your tax advantaged account. So talking about your CPA and showing market returns like that should make you some authority is a really strange thing.

How do I inherit $200k and ensure I have a multi decade bull market tailwind?
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart
Damn... Starting out with 200k really helped out
Get money. Put in index. Ok I think we’re done here. Next!
Besides the original 200K, how much money you put from your pocket?

What does that even mean lol
You single?
Do you have any real estate in your portfolio? Care to give a rough outline of the asset classes you’re invested in?
I don’t have any real estate but I’m planning on buying a house in the next 4-5 years or so. All depending on gf and the future with that, and also haven’t decided where I’d like to settle yet (I know northeast but not much more than that)
Nice work, but getting a $200k chunk of change at 21 is a pretty nice head start over almost all of us.
Yes I know I’m very lucky
I have about 80K in savings account that I don’t know what to do with. We might try to buy a 800K+ house in a few years or less so don’t want the money too tied up. What would you recommend?
Nothing is 100% risk free. But this is the future and early adopters have a chance to benefit now. DM if you want referrals to platforms that pay high rates. I spread my holdings on different platforms for security and all earn over 8% https://hbr.org/2021/02/what-happens-when-cryptocurrencies-earn-interest
Let me get this straight, you’re 28, still qualify for Roth IRA contributions, wasted your entire 20s in a stable job at a big 4 firm when you had the financial support to go take risks and also are too lazy to actually research your investments so you just invest in VTSAX. Thanks for the offer but I’m all good on advice here. Next you’re probably going to tell me you’ve been maxing out traditional 401k instead of Roth. Congrats on the money but also you could be retired already if you had taken some risk and invested into some leveraged ETFs (SOXL, TQQQ) or maybe tried starting a business on your own instead of taking the safe route. If I’m being honest you basically squandered the $200k just having it sit in a market ETF while you worked a stable 9-5 saving ~25% of your income. Anyone could’ve done what you did, but just goes to show how risk averse CPAs are.

Sounds like we have different investing strategies and you are coming at me for not having the same strategy as you. Thanks for the lecture on risk though very insightful!
One of you DM’d me and I accidentally hit “ignore”, If that was you feel free to re send haha

What are you mostly invested in ?
What funds are those
Why would they DM you instead of just posting a question in the bowl? I am confused
True, edited the message to say feel free to comment
Can you share how much money you kept adding every year ?
I maxed out my 401k, which is about 150k now. I max out my Roth IRA and just this year I started an HSA. Other than that I’d say I add about10k a year on average to my index funds and just let compounding interest do the work
I just started using personal cap and was wondering how they keep their data secure/make money? Do you find it unnerving all your financial data is on one app?
PerCap makes money from the users who meet the criteria (100k in assets?) and sign up with their financial advisors
I do have a question actually. If you roll over a 401k or IRA from what I’ve heard you can withdraw your initial principle from the IRA but how exactly does your new retirement account administrator know whether you withdrew more or less? Couldn’t you just lie? Especially if your retirement account isn’t that large and you’re income isn’t under the IRS radar. I’ve always heard that people with income under 200k stand a very low chance of getting audited which makes sense because they are after the high earners
This is I credible
What types of investment accounts do you use?
Yes
I have a bunch of RSUs that are currently at a multi-month low. I have a specific number in mind at which I’d be happy to sell them. Should I do covered calls?
I don’t know enough about covered calls or RSU’s. But from what I’ve heard about puts/calls etc. is that it’s very easy to lose a lot of money quickly, so be careful
Could you share some salary info over time generally? You're at kpmg so I'm assuming you weren't pulling 150k out of college or anything too bonkers like the other thread in this bowl where it was an ibanker who's blog said anyone can retire at 30 if you buy his book. just curious if you jumped ship at some point for big salary bumps.
Also what's the big dip at 600k? Bought a house? Or not sure if that lines up with the dip in markets at the beginning of covid
Sorry lol, idk at first glance it looked farther back than the beginning of 2020. Guess I didn't realize were like 18 months out from that. Disregard my stupidity
