Awesome video! Glad you mentioned the route of actually retiring early! All money sitting in a 401k and you at 30ish already counting the clock to retirement so you can finally get the fruits of your labor… is a looong wait. Factor in the energy you have while you’re young and what you can do with that money is very different from when you’re 60 or 70+. If you even live that long. But also, consider that people usually make their lifelong relationships while they are young (teens, 20s). So balance it well. Sacrificing possible connections by socializing too little in your 20s might mean a lonely rich life. Plan for the future, but don’t forget to live in the moment.
This mountain was great. Thanks
Great vid!
Solid video sir! Love how you brought up how flexible taxable brokerage accounts are. I have yet to touch mine this year. I want to max my Roth IRA out first and then I'll starting dumping some dollars into my taxable.
Another great video!! Thank you man, keep the videos coming!! Enjoy all the different brokerage breakdowns. It's very interesting
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for the Robin book recommendation, it's one I havent read yet. The rest I have and a couple others I have really enjoyed are Bogle's book and The Millionaire next door.
I'm new to investing and am dollar-cost averaging on a monthly basis into various growth, dividend and broad-based ETFs, but also some tech sector ETFs, too, such as SMH, AIQ, etc. I'm wondering if, at least while I'm building up my portfolio, I should invest more into the higher growth areas (I'm particularly high on SMH) before they go too high? Basically, my reasoning is SMH and QQQM, for example, are likely to outperform the S&P 500 and the various Dividend ETFS like SCHD, so I'm thinking to buy as much of the growth now and then can jump into the slower growing assets in a couple years. Thoughts?
Great video... the only thing that I would suggest is starting out on your savings journey, even as you get your match and after you max your Roth IRA, when investing in your 401k, you really should look to see if your 401k has a Roth option. If your income is lower as you're starting out, if your initial contributions could be Roth to get the match, make them Roth contributions. And since you're starting out, after you max the match and after you max your Roth, I would go back and still max the Roth 401k out. There's PLENTY of time to switch to a brokerage account later if need be, but you REALLY REALLY want those early contributions to grow tax free as long as they possibly can so they can grow as much as possible. If your 401k program doesn't have a Roth option, it's debatable, and I definitely see why you might wanna go taxable brokerage instead of maxing your 401k out.
Yeah my wife has a Roth 401k! It’s a nice option. At first I was going to circle back to the 401k too but it’s pretty limiting so for my plan, taxable brokerage it is.
(I maxed out my 401k for a couple years so I like them too)
thank you for all these videos, I'm trying to check as many of your videos as possible. In the mean time, do you recommend Smart Shift in the ROTH IRA account for fidelity? (we’ll regularly evaluate your investment strategy to make sure you’re in the appropriate one for your goal. And when we think a strategy other than the one you’re in is a better fit, we’ll automatically shift it for you.) and, what strategy do you recommend for ROTH IRA? 70% vs 85% growth, stocks, bonds and short term. Do you have a video were you talk about this ? Thank you so much
I think you’ve got to pick what you like and feel good about. Putting your money where someone else tells you to won’t help you sleep at night. Listening to your gut likely will
Target date funds and certain mutual funds will have a large amount of stock or bond turnover thus generating taxable income (or losses) every year - ETFs and certain things like bond Funds which buy funds with fixed maturities and hold til maturity avoid this churn.
The safe to withdraw section.... do you just sell your stock little by little every month?
Most people don't realize this but making 10 in dividends a day will take forever but once you pass that 10 a day or 300 per month dividends after that it will increase by 10 times so i think in this video you've started with invest as much as possible until your making a minimum of 10 a day then you slow down and put the rest in a high yield savings account and and let the money come in without doing much
It sucks learning about investing as you go. Unfortunately I’m still learning. I doubt my investment strategy will change that much because I’ve learned so much over the last few years, but I still have blind spots I’m sure. I think that is why target date funds exist. They aren’t optimal for everyone but are better than blindly picking funds that have the word “growth” in them, which is what I used to do.
With the first two steps…
Is there a way to have your 6% company match 401k flow into the robinhood Roth IRA?
Nope! But some companies do offer a Roth 401k so that’s as close as you could get
Acorns will be coming with a 10% ira match starting in July with $9 membership can't wait and 1% for $3 membership
10%!?!? I need to see this

I hate that my job doesn't match at all. There should be a law that all employers do a 5% or 6% match
southwest does up to 9% match
@davidb6722 WHAT….sign me up
@@davidb6722airlines??
Do you work for a small company?
You would just get a salery reduction.
My employer used to do 12% (automatic without any employee contribution) when they changed it to 6%, we all got a 6% salary increase.
@mandypdx nah southwest is one of the biggest us airlines
