That’s what I got crypto for.

I usually try to invest into startups. As a result of the US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, you’re able to invest into start ups without being an accredited investor or high net worth individual. Is this liquid? No. Is this a good idea after you’ve maxed everything out in an efficient manner that ties to your risk profile and resource allocation? Likely. Are there huge returns or losses? Potentially. Can you lose more than you invested? No, at least not to my knowledge.

I can lead you to the water but I can’t force you to drink.

Probably best bet is to park in a money market fund and get that 5% guaranteed. Shit’s too expensive right now.

Side question - why are backdoor roths even a thing? It’s just unnecessary steps that someone has to take to contribute to their roth accounts if they are over the income limit. Is it simply a way for the government to make it harder for high income earners to take advantage?

EY, no loophole is unintended in government. It is always intended.

Assume you’ve looked into mega backdoor Roth?

I’m checking with HR later today. I read about it last night. This is a huge if my 401k offers it. Thanks!

How much are you contributing to your 401k?

Currently 31 with 6.5 YOE and single . Should have NW of 250k by end of this year. (No significant assets in India). Considering this money all reminds invested I should have a decent nest egg for retirement. Have an LIC policy that will be worth arnd 50 lakhs when I surrender it (plan down payment for an apartment). Struggling to convince parents this should be enough for me to move back. They think I should move back when I have more financial security. What more should I plan for ?

Under contract to buy my first home - house hacking a triplex. Property has been leased by the same three tenants for the last 5+ yrs, rents haven’t been raised since they moved in.

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.
