This year my goal is to add an additional focus to my physical health. I have been working out at least 3 times per week! My secondary goals are to max out my Roth IRA by the end of June and then I would also like to save an additional $10,000!

Until busy season hits lmao

@hypermoose5794 Personally I learned just about everything on the job. If you know the Balance Sheet Equation and the natural account balances for most normal accounts you will be golden. Most of what you learn in school does not directly translate into the overall line of work besides some concepts. There is a lot more grey area than I would have thought! I honestly would recommend taking a bookkeeping class. That will help you the most in the real world! Lots of clients have very messy books.

Im a tax intern too and from the work ive done so far my experience has been to take detailed notes during your training that you can refer back to and just paying attention to the corrections requested. They dont expect you to know a lot going in but they do expect you to pay attention to what they train you

Unfortunately there are a ton of things they don’t teach in school that i think they should!

@naffeee Thank you so much! It is one of my favorites too. It is actually a custon Seiko. I got it from a website called Journey About Time. The website is something like "JATwatches" if you were interested in taking a look. They have customized Seikos to look like basically all high end watches like Rolex, AP and Patek. I love the one that I got!

I began college as an engineering student and am considering a switch to accounting. What has made you want to leave engineering as a profession?

That's so interesting. I'm in tech, and I want to switch to accounting 😂 what made you want to?

Lol, I’m in accounting and want to become an engineer. Why do you want to leave engineering?

You’ll randomly start testing to become a Certified Public Accountant?😂 it’s just a certification that allows you to do a lot more with your career as an accountant 👍🏻

​@@Westyinvests thanks. Uesful career info.

Thank you! I will make another one as we are going into busy season and maybe one more targeted towards financial statements! Cheers!

I am glad that you enjoyed it! I have high hopes for updates to come soon! Cheers!

Howdy there! I actually did not do any internships when I was at Uni! I did not plan on going into accounting when I was studying at Uni, but in the last 2 months of school I got a job offer to work in public accounting. I love going over my investments. Makes me feel more connected to what I am building for my future! I am glad that you enjoy seeing what I am invested in and can look into them yourself!

Nooooo you weren’t supposed to notice!😂 I really like the seiko but the gold coach watch is so pretty! Great attention to detail! You’re the first to notice! Cheers!

Costco is killing it for me! My biggest holding along with VTI

@@LondonCat55 Awesome! I wish that I picked up COST when it was much cheaper. It has been a major bull in this market!

Although there are tons of ETFs and stocks that have 10%+ dividend rates they typically, not always, are known as dividend traps. They have the high yield, but with each payment decrease in value over time. The companies that I invest in are dividend growth stocks and ETFs. They slowly increase the div payments every year and hopefully by the time that I retire, the increase in payments will have compounded on each other. This will hopefully set me up for a nice and easy retirement!

Thank you! SCHD is awesome and is 9% of my portfolio currently! I’m hoping to get it up to around 15% by the end of the year!

@ nice!! Mine is around 25% of my portfolio so far, I buy one share weekly!

Thank you so much! For those larger creators they do a great job pushing out videos. This one took me forever! I appreciate the compliment!(:

I’m also a fan of JEPQ I just haven’t added it to my portfolio yet!

The ETFs that have a low dividend yield are growth ETFs. They are not designed to produce income, they are designed to increase in value. SCHD has been able to keep up with VOO and VTI, but I don’t know if they’ll be a be able to keep up for a long period of time. The overall value of the assets continue to increase still!

There are a ton of things that you should consider. Depending on your age, risk tolerance and other factors, I would consider dollar cost averaging into VOO and SCHD. You'll generate some passive income(if that is what you are looking for) and still be in a good position to see growth in your funds. DCA seems favorable to me right now as I have no idea what the market will do with the election results here in about a month! I hope that this helps.

I’d let you buy me any ice cream

I just got a new microphone so I hope that helps!(: @daviddowling6376

We love our SCHD! I expect SCHD to continue to out perform most dividend stocks and will keep growing my positions! SCHD is now 9% of my portfolio!

@alexabrown1146 If you are considering getting a degree in either Accounting or Finance, I would consider getting the degree in Accounting. With an Accounting degree you can work in both Accounting and Finance, but its harder to work in accounting with a finance degree. As for which you should work in... I would say you should pick the one that interests you the most! There are some aspects of accounting that are awesome(I love doing Financial statements) but some tax returns are horrible. In terms of pay, It is a very slow start considering you will have a 4 year degree. I Started making $55,000 with no accounting history besides my education. After two years I am now making just under $70,000. Once you have your CPA license, I am working on mine, you have another $15,000 - $20,000 raise there. Like most careers, you will have larger pay increases when you change jobs. The final thing you should consider are the hours. MOST accouting firms require 60 hour weeks during tax season. I am lucky and my firm only requires 48 during tax season and we only have to work 32 hours in slow season. I really hope this helps!! If you want more info about what I do you can reach out and I'll do my best to give you as much info as I can so you can make the best decision for yourself!! (: Cheers.

Thank you! It is such a slow and tedious process, but once I get to $100,000 I think that the growth will come even faster!

Most of my positions are in my Roth IRA! I do have some in a taxable account. I don't make a ton at my 9-5 so the tax on non-qualified dividneds is minimal! When I get older and make more I will have to adjust some positions!

@ali_new_world I started back at the end of 2020. I didn't start taking things seriously until about 2 years ago! If you are looking to get invested in the overall market I would look into some ETFs such as VOO and SCHD. I personally invested the majority of my money into VOO. It makes up over 50% of my portfolio to this day! I hope this helps!
