I've seen some negative comments about dividend investing. I think its a pretty good way as passive income. I am 23 and contribute to my Roth 401k but I've also had my own portfolio since I was 18. I've mainly been focused on dividend stocks and I'm now at $250 a year from dividends. How can this hurt in the long run?

Just started my first job out of college. What percent of my income should I put towards retirement?

Hey guys, I just recently graduated with my bachelors degree and am working full time as a software engineer. I want to continue my education and in a few years apply to one of the bigger tech companies. Not necessarily a FAANG, but I would like to be prepared enough that I could take a job at a FAANG company at a mid senior level. What would you guys suggest doing to further my education? Are there classes or certifications that would be helpful? I hear a lot of people talking leet code?

I have about $70K total in undergrad/law debt. I accepted a job in big law starting in fall of 2022. I’d like to be debt free as soon as possible but given that student loan interest is frozen and has the potential to continue to be for the foreseeable future, any recommendations on where I put my money in the mean time? I’m thinking I’ll make the minimum payments upon graduation and let my money grow elsewhere until loan interest starts up again then make lump sum payments. Thoughts?

2 years Industry Accounting - manage small team, improve monthly processes, month end close, reconciliations, generate financial reports, generate budget and forecasts

Have a friend that just signed up for a 529 plan in Utah (we live in Texas) - is that really the best one or are there better plans out there offered by other states? Texas is no state tax so I don’t really care about the tax breaks unless it’s a federal one which I don’t think exists...

Has anyone ever worked part time with turbo tax or something similar? Buying a house and would like to find a way to bring in some extra cash. TIA!

Stupid question but I gotta ask. I’ve got like 30k sitting in a checking account, I feel like I should push it into VTI and forget about it, but for some reason I feel like a downturn is on the horizon and I don’t want to lose a chunk of it. Already have plenty in emergency fund, no debt. Already bought my 10k of iBonds.

How much should you ideally have in checking and savings?
