Rookie question here: if I sell 1 share of VOO that made me $10 profit, and I put the value of that share into buying a stock (mfst for example) will I pay tax on that $10 profit? Would I have not needed to pay tax on that if I just left it in VOO?

Yes and yes

If you held the VOO share for more than a year, you pay long term capital gains on the gain, which is 15%. Less than a year you pay short term capital gains, which means it shows as income and you are taxed at your marginal rate.

Yes if you did this in a personal taxable account. No if you are in a tax advantaged account like a 401k.

Hey 🐠,

I am approaching the Roth IRA income limit, and have a pre-existing Roth IRA that was not converted from a traditional account. Is there a way for me to take advantage of the backdoor Roth loophole while funneling the money into my current Roth? Or, do I have to set up a new account, convert it to Roth, and make all future contributions into that account? I’ve already asked my broker, and they have not been the least bit helpful. Thanks!

Hello, I am going crazy. I am supposed to close on a house on Tuesday. The buyer did not perform an inspection and the lender did not order an appraisal.

I don’t have a closing time yet, just the date. My realtor reached to the lender and have no heard back.

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I want to retire but I'm in my early 40's. My husband thinks I'm selfish because most of our luxury spending money comes from me. I'm burnt-out in this business and don't want to work anymore. I don't mind not going on luxurious vacations anymore and cutting back on our expenses. I keep seeing my loved ones die at fairly young ages. I want to enjoy what is left of my life. I'm perfectly fine with scalling back. What do you think? Am I being selfish for wanting to be a housewife?
