I recently opened a Roth IRA with Vanguard and have been contributing to it in addition to contributing to my 401k

I use E*TRADE personally, but for the most part they all function similarly. Unless you are looking for specific ETFs, just look up visuals of each interface and see which one looks best to you

After 401k, you should do back door roth ira assuming that u are maxing your 401k ure over the income limita for traditional roth ira

If you can go directly to a Roth IRA it is a little easier, but if you are close to the limits or are unsure backdoor removes the uncertainty. Just make sure you don’t have any traditional Ira balances.

Where is your 401k? Many like to have everything in the same place, I do. Many don’t care. Is this long term money, if so I would put it in a Roth IRA. If the money is for a short term need, like buying a house, the market may not be appropriate. If you don’t have an emergency fund, I would put it somewhere safe like Hysa or cd

Individual stocks!

IRA
HSA

So many of you are making unbelievable amounts… I don’t know how to keep up.

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?
