Recommendations on which brokerage I should use to open my Roth IRA. Already maxed by 401k, would like to deposit what’s left after loans & everything into a Roth. I have done my research and NerdWallet/Montley Fool they recommend Charles Schwab or TD Ameritrade. I don’t know what’s more beneficial or is more advantageous for me. Thanks :)

I use Schwab and really like them. No fees, super fast American customer service, you can buy any traded security not just their stuff, the system almost always works (did go down last Monday due to volatility). I would recommend Schwab bank and brokerage to anyone.

That’s really good to know ^ thanks you both A1 & SM2

Any reason against vanguard? Not seeing it recommended yet I think it’s great

Second that !

The one with the lowest fees for what you want to invest in. I use Fidelity.

Are you maxing your 401k totally or just to employer match?

No, you should keep six months of expenses in cash in a HYSA and leave it there. It hurts to lose out on theoretical market gains, but it’s called an emergency fund for a reason. It needs to be cash, immediately accessible, and safe from market fluctuations.

I use WellsTrade, but I’m a Wells customer so it makes sense for me. I’m honestly not sure how it ranks if you aren’t a Wells customer.

I like Schwab for the autoinvest feature that makes DCA much easier (I don’t use the robo advisor but have automated buys every 2 weeks). I think TDA has a better platform, especially for stocks, but with the merger of the two, hopefully they take the best of both features

Also, depending on your income, be sure to research if it’s better for you to do a back door Roth instead of a traditional Roth.

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
