Max out an IRA and a 401(k) first. Then dollar-cost average into indices like the S&P 500 and the Russel 2000.

Go to the casino, bet an entire paycheck on roulette. After winning, let it ride. Repeat.

Jokes aside, I agree with the above. HSA, 401(k), Backdoor Roth. Go to BigLawInvestor and you can learn a lot.

Also get an HSA and max that out. Select 80% general broad market index fund, and the rest in bond index fund for all accounts. Even putting everything in a target date retirement fund will be better than most.

After making out all tax advantages accounts, start investing in your brokerage account.

After that, I don’t know. Taking advice. Real estate (I guess)?

like

Start with an emergency fund. At least 6 months total expenses. A CD ladder is good for that. Then max out 401k. Once those priorities are tackled, put additional funds into portfolio of ETFs or index funds. 80% stocks. 20% bonds. Invest every month and don’t pay attention to markets. Just pile the money away. And live way below your means.

Yes to all the above. While a Roth taps out at 6k/yr, it is a beautiful thing. Find a trusted financial advisor if you’re really not wanting to deal with too much responsibility. Others may not agree, but I’m happy to have him take 1% to save my time. Mine has been great at setting debt-free dates, investing for short term (down payment on house), and long term (Roth/misc brokerage accts).. Additional upsides - amazing life insurance policies and extended leave insurance (babies).

Max out my Roth IRA contributions for the previous tax year (sitting at like $4k out of $6k so far) with my stimulus check, or split it up between speculative plays I think have a ton of potential? (PLTR, CCIV, Bitcoin, and Ethereum)

Roth IRA is 100% allocated to the Vanguard Windsor fund btw. I’m 23 and think risky plays while your young are the only way you ever truly make it, but recognize the benefits of maxing Roth IRA YOY. Help!

It was always clear to many that the traitor was a demagogue who used the misfortunes of the struggling Americans to further his political (and other) fortunes. Those frustrated with difficulties in their lives found an “outspoken” voice in him. Regardless of the political theatre put up by the traitor, it’s no doubt that many Americans have struggled, economically, for years. And politicians have often overlooked serving the suffering corners of the populace, in a bid to retain power.

My little brother is in law school and unsure whether to pursue a big law career. He’s ambitious, but wants a meaningful job that is not 24/7.

He therefore doesn’t feel he "needs" big law money.

I’m in big law bc I’m a degenerate workoholic, while he has a life. Find it difficult to offer him advice.
