    My portfolio does not just cater for dividend stock, I hold $VFIAX in my Roth IRA and $VTI ( total stock market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account, two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock position all compliments the index holdings.

    • @jlee-dw3zu
      @jlee-dw3zu 16 днів тому

      Diversifying with $VFIAX and $VTI is smart investment. It is financial independence not dependence, it truely empowers.

    • @HarperScott-pk6uk
      @HarperScott-pk6uk 16 днів тому

      Diversifying portfolio can be challenging without the right guidance. If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek the expertise of an investment coach. That is how I have managed to stay afloat in the market, increaseing my portfolio over 60% in the beginning of the year. It is the best way to start up investment in my opinion.

    I started contributing to my 401k at 30. Will be 32 this year. I’m fortunate enough to be able to contribute 20% of my paycheck each pay day with an employer match of max 6% of my yearly annual income. I have it set to one of those retirement date funds where it spreads it out for you based on your age. Maybe not the best but I’m not an expert at picking funds. I do wish I started in my twenties even if it was just $100. If you’re reading this and in your twenties start now. Your older self will thank you. PLEASE.

    Early retirees at 52 and 55.
    Maxed out pre-tax 401k for years. No match.
    Keeping lifestyle creep in check is critical to be able to max out your investments.
    We retired using the rule of 55.
    Continue educating yourself to maximize your savings and investments.

    I'm very fortunate to work for a company that actually cares about our financial future.... our owner's philosophy is that when you walk out the door, he wants you to do so as a millionaire. Not only does he match 100% up to 6%, as an incentive, he also has a progressive scale of profit sharing... the more you contribute above the match, the greater the additional amount he will contribute annually, plus the financial institution's money managers are available to us for answering questions with no additional charge to our accounts.

    Gen Z listen up. Start as early as possible with your first job. Even if it’s just a small amount, COMPOUND INTEREST will help you in the long run. When you’re older, you’re gonna start seeing all your friends dumping as much money as possible into their 401k to catch up so they have some retirement. Meanwhile, you’re not going to have to do that as long as you have consistency starting from a young age

I hate to say it, but if it’s unaffordable where you live like me, you’re going to have to downsize the lifestyle you want. No lifted trucks/luxury vehicles, no eating out all the time, no random trips out of the country. You gotta live cheaply. Times are hard, I get it. But you gotta put some money away while you work your way up to a higher income.

    No loans, no withdrawals, make certain you receive the full benefit of the employer match through December 31 each year, max out contributions each year, 402(g) limit and catch-up contributions, max out After-tax contributions if your employer offers After-Tax. Focus on Index funds for the low expense ratio and stay away from the boring bond funds.

    I forwarded this to my son even though he's a few years away from retirement.
    I was lucky in that my credit union offered a financial advisor. He gave me the best advice and convinced me I was working for no reason at the time. In fact, I should've retired three years earlier! I've been retired for 17 years now.

    I'm 34 this year. I absolutely advise starting as early as possible. Never underestimate the power of compounding interest.

    The breakdown on the various 401k transfer options helped a lot! Currently looking to switch jobs and was curious if it makes that much of a difference

    100% agree on the stereotypical financial advisor questions being STUPID.
    I had the same reactions when they asked me those questions. Like dude, I’m just trying to grow my money and not lose it like everybody else.
