I’ve been doing rentals as a big law associate for a couple of years. Bigger Pockets books are phenomenal. Long Distance Real Estate Investing, The BRRRR Method, and their books on taxes are all good titles. For *very* high-level insight and inspiration (sad that I need to make the disclaimer so clear because of how much people like to diss Robert Kiyosaki), I found Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the Rich Dad YouTube channel quite helpful.

Get a good grasp of the tax concepts. The puzzle comes together there

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

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!!
