I’m 24 and I have 60k that I’m looking to invest somewhere. I’m already maxing out roth, put 14% with 6% match in 401k and put an additional $250 per month in a brokerage account. Also have additional savings/rainy day fund that gets contributions but I was wondering if anyone has ideas for what to do with this additional money. Thanks!

Real estate is your next best long term investment option since u got everything else covered

60k is a lot, and you’re going to be able to add more and more to it over your lifetime. I’d get a financial advisor if I were you and have them help you figure out how to manage it. Financial advisors aren’t for everyone, but ours has helped us tremendously because my husband and I aren’t super savvy in all that stuff. I don’t mind paying the fee knowing that they’re helping me make informed decisions.

If you go this route, get a good one. Don’t use your buddy from high school.

Honestly, it sounds like you're doing great on saving and investing. Hate to be the one person in here to recommend this but I would advise you use some of that saved up money to live life a little and enjoy your hard work.

Being frugal is great. You've got a great start. Just make sure you're balancing all of your saving with a little joy. You never know when life throws a curve ball and at the end of the day you've saved a lot of money but haven't had a ton of memorable life experiences.

So much negative emotions 😕. Why? You just need to have decent parents who think that 20 yo kids need to enjoy the life or save some $. It can be middle class too. I would probably spend all this $ for travel before getting married and have kids. ENJOY YOUR TIME YOU HAVE NOW. 😘

Would be a good recommendation if interest rates weren't insane

Try and max your 401k.

State sales tax for online sellers. Essentially stating that a Amazon warehouse constitutes a brick and mortar location for any product you sell based out of that location and is subject to sales tax of that state.

A lot of states fixed it by making it the marketplaces responsibility, in this case Amazon, to collect/remit sales tax on behalf of the sale to the state. But at the time a lot of people owed thousands in back taxes or now to states where the product was actually sold and in turn also were due refunds from their home state. It was a bit of a mess.

Who stole my pension? 401ks are outdated plan now.

Did I mention the amount in my last comment?

I would stay in cash for now, or slowly size into a SP500 fund over the next 6-12 months. Or find a good deal on a house or rental property. Rates are high but if you can find a deal would be worth buying and refinancing later. Rates / housing prices are starting to come down again in certain markets.
