I would love to know about investing. What books or materials would you guys recommend? I want to understand the benefit of contributing to my 401(k) and ways that I can make money. I just don’t know where to start.

I always just split my 401k contribution - e.g. 6% in Traditional and 6% in Roth. I am now 35 with TC of $300k+ and wondering if this is still the best plan.

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.
