Left the previous firm, should I rollover to current firm’s 401k or rollover to my Roth IRA? (Currently has contributed $2k so far) would the amount (8k) rollover to my IRA exceed the $5500?

I would roll to Roth because you can invest that in anything, rather than whatever arbitrary funds (and fees!) are in your new employer’s plan. The rollover doesn’t affect annual contribution.

But if you roll over to roth you’ll have to pay taxes, so make sure you can cover that

The other obvious option would be to roll to a traditional IRA. No tax due.

And no - rollovers to an IRA (whether traditional or Roth) do not count toward annual contribution limit.

the limit is 6k this year, indexed for inflation so they occasionally adjust upward.

If you roll over to traditional and want to do a backdoor Roth later it’ll complicate things due to pro rata. I’m actually in the same boat now and need to figure out how I want to handle things.

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
