PwC fish, is anyone doing the mega backdoor Roth IRA with the PwC 401k plan? I could use some advice on how to set it up, the complexity of it, other things to watch out for, etc.

Lookup mega backdoor Roth on HQ. There's a PDF that explains the steps really clearly with screenshots. It's pretty streamlined and I do the withdrawal to IRA every paycheck

Do a search in the PwC bowl and personal finance bowl. There are a couple post outlining the steps

I can’t imagine it’s appreciably different than a normal MBDR so just bring this to r/FIRE

Invest in 401k post tax hit up benefits express and do it monthly/quarterly/annually

Do you do this evenly across the year or max out pretax first then mbdr for the remainder of the year?

I am planning to do this for the first time this year. I will hit the pretax max in September at current rate then planned to switch and do posttax for the rest of the year.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
