My GF contributes to her company’s Roth 401(k). Do the contributions to this go toward the limits of $19.5k for 401k or $6k for a Roth IRA per year?

19.5

Is contributing post tax through the Roth 401(k) a better idea or should she be contributing pre-tax and separately contribute post to a Roth IRA?

That makes sense. Most recommend this priority for contributions:
1. As much as necessary to 401k to get any company match
2. Roth IRA
3. Anything left to 401k

For both 401k line items, you could do Roth or traditional or a mix depending on your feelings about current vs potential future tax brackets.

She’s able contribute up to $19.5k to her 401k AND $6k to her IRA. Those limits are independent of one another.

Roth vs Traditional is just an election she can make for either account.

Here’s how to withdraw your funds from FTX

Hedge Withdrawals

Open a position on FTX and an opposing position on another exchange (perhaps Binance for the irony) for the same financial exposure. If the position on FTX profits, keep trading. As the position on FTX experiences losses, the opposing position on the other exchange profits. Keep it up until you’ve depleted the funds on account at FTX the close your opposing position. You’ve successfully withdrawn funds using a hedge. You’re welcome.

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.
