Max 401k, $25k ESPP, $11k IRA - convert next day into Roth. 43 y/o. The ESPP has been a game changer, buy at 15% discount and the price was ~$15-20 for a lot of years, SCHW closed over $52 today.

I don't know the percentage but I just max it out. Also do 10k in the after tax 401k and convert it to Roth. 26

Take a deep breath and contribute as much as saves you money on taxes... once you have found the tax sweet spot put your excess in a Roth.

Also I don't do any traditional 401k all Roth.

6%. The Most The Company Will Allow Since I'm Considered Highly compensated..Still Put The $18,000 in.

No 401k 1099 here, but I max out as much as I can on my pretax accts as possible. And maxing Roth while I can without conversions

10% 401k, 5% Roth 401k, 10% taxable actively managed investment account, 5% crypto.

Max every year

29 wife 27. Both max out (which drives my wife nuts bc it’s 20% of her pay) and maxed Roth’s until we exceeded the income limits

Quick question.

Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
