Trying to get more savy with investing besides 401k & Roth. Want to start getting stocks and possibly make good side money. Any advice would be great

Same boat. I just started maxing out my 401K and said I was going to start investing elsewhere but then I think about losing the extra money and not being able to get a tax cut anywhere (feel like I pay way too much in taxes as it is). I also have no clue where I should even start if I started investing elsewhere.

That’s exactly what I’m scared about. I don’t want to put in money and then end up losing it

Get Vanguard funds. You’ll be set. EY has a bunch of audit clients, so we can’t own their stock directly. You can also go for a self-directed IRA eventually and invest in what you want (eg. real estate).

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet.

I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
