I’d recommend a financial planner. Mine helped me set up various brokerage accounts for my stock options, maximize my 401k with pre and post tax dollars, buy/invest in a life insurance plan, and I’m also investing a small amount with him every month. Yes Roth IRA. Yes to maximizing your 401k and I’d say invest some portion with a planner if possible. They can also help you figure out ways to create passive income from your strengths, which only helps you invest more with them. G’luck!
