Used savings to pay for business school, so now that I graduated I’m rebuilding my emergency savings. Do I both save and invest in Roth each month (in addition to 401(k) contributions) or do I put everything back in HYSA?

If you want to build your emergency up, I personally would put it in a HYSA. Once that is funded I would work on the Roth IRA

Is QEF inclusion dividend or not? Sometimes, I see QEF inclusion reported on Line 11i and sometimes on Line 6a. I think we can rely on Sec. 1293(c) but I think it’s not foolproof. My hunch is since QEF regime is tailored to treat the PFIC similar to domestic mutual funds, we should not treat the QEF inclusion as dividends. Any help is appreciated.

How do you buy back time?

It's simple—by saving and investing.

And you don't need to be uber wealthy to regain control of your time.

Consider this…
