    Really enjoyed this video. I'm considering your advice, because thousands of dollars have been disappearing from my 401k due to soaring inflation, and my concern is where to safeguard and grow remaining cash about $500k+ for the next 2-3 years at no risk. I'd love to retire early and afford a life after retirement.

    Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. Compounding is the process of earning interest on your initial investment, as well as on the interest that investment earns. This means that over time, your investment can grow exponentially. So the earlier you start investing, the more time your investment has to grow through compounding

    You can go through a nightmare with this. ALWAYS take your money with you every time and do not wait. You can have an old 401K and they could move it to a new company. New company might say WHO ARE YOU? We don't know you. Can't get to a human. No way to gain access. They make you agree to paperless correspondence and then don't allow you to log in.

    I rolled over a previous 401k and cashed a stock-based pension fund to a IRA at Fidelity. Then put those funds into multiple index funds that average almost 10% growth in each year. Many companies are now offering Roth 401ks. If you have that option, I say take it. If you roll that over to a Roth IRA someday, it’s tax free. However, if you roll a traditional 401k or IRA into a Roth, you will have to pay taxes at that point before it goes into a Roth.

      Dave is targeting an audience who doesn't know anything about money.
      For legal reasons this is not advice but I can tell you what I do.
      People should only buy a house to live in when your assets can pay for it by providing enough cash flow to the point that your buying a primary residents doesn't even impact you financially. Other wise they should just rent.
      Never buy mutual funds because the expense ratio is to high, plus there are many additional fees. mutual funds have been shown to under perform overtime.
      People should just stick to ETF'S, listed investment companies and value invest in single stocks only buy EFT'S when you aren't sure what to buy, if you want real estate invest in commercial real-estate in a limited company that has 50 percent debt on each of the properties that you buy. This should be where 99 percent of your money goes I would stay away from office buildings due to the lockdowns. I am personally a stock guy so my money is in the share market, but if you want real-estate you can. also don't sell your properties other wise you will pay company tax although you don't get the capital gains tax benefit you are protected from law suits and you are not liable for the debt on your real-estate. You can also start a limited business with that money if you want to.
      With the other 1 percent your cash flow, being in both gold and silver both being 0.5 percent of your cash flow in invested each.
      only hold on the cash for a maximum of 1 year and make sure that it's only for saving up to buy a cheap asset also make sure this cash is in hybrid bonds and not the bank only hybrid bonds no other types of bonds.
      only have what you need in the bank to cover the next week of expenses.
      for legal purposes this is not advice.

    As long as you're not doing a backdoor Roth IRA, it's best to rollover from a 401(k) to an IRA to get a much larger selection of mutual funds. If you are doing a backdoor Roth, then you need to keep the money in the 401(k).

      Annual Interest on two accounts of $100k earning 5% each is $10,000.
      Annual interest on a single account worth $200k earning 5% is still $10,000.
      401ks generally offer a limited set of funds to choose from. If you rollover into an IRA, you can choose any stock or fund you want.
      My 401k offers about a dozen target date retirement fund and a Vanguard fund that mimics the S&P500 (FXAIX) and a T Rowe Price technology fund. The target date funds invest aggressively at first and then become more conservative as they get closer to the retirement date. I put all my money in the Vanguard and T Rowe Price funds. Not all 401ks are going to have offerings like that.

      @@StayPositive-sd8op That is an expensive way to do it. The 401k loan will be declared an early withdrawal, so you will pay 15% tax plus a 10% fee. The same will apply to the additional $400 you pull out to pay off the credit card during the rollover from 401k to IRA.
      I would consider opening an IRA account with Vanguard or Fidelity or ETrade. Roll your 401k over into that and then you have all kinds of options for growing your money. If you open an IRA with the bank, I'm not sure what investment vehicles are available to you. I have a regular trading account with ETrade, in addition to a Rollover IRA and a Roth IRA, there. Setting up account with any of those companies is easy. You give them your information and connect to one or more bank accounts and then it is easy to transfer money between them. ETrade lets you buy stock with the money your transfer in, right away, before it clears.

    • @damondiehl5637
      @damondiehl5637 Před 6 měsíci

      The easiest thing to do is leave your assets in your TSP account. However, you need to keep in mind that you will not be able to make additional deposits to your account once you are no longer part of the uniformed services or civil service.
      Advantages: The TSP is a great place to invest for retirement. The TSP is easy to use, and while it doesn’t have many investment choices, the fees are among the lowest you can possibly find - even lower than most popular index funds. You always maintain the option of moving your funds from the TSP at a later date. There are also special tax considerations if you invested in your TSP while deployed to a war zone.
      The TSP has limited investment options. There are only 5 main funds to choose from and a few target funds. You will also not be able to make new contributions or take loans from your old TSP account. Having one more account to keep track of can also be a headache for some people. Not only does it involve more work when balancing your assets, but you also must maintain more paperwork.
      The fees charged to manage the Thrift Savings Plan are probably the lowest you will ever find. Consider leaving your funds in the TSP unless you don’t want to deal with extra paper work or you want more investment options.
      From what I read, it is not uncommon for 4001k admins to allow TSP rollovers into employee 401ks. Ask, the worst they can do is say "no".
      If the answer is no and you still want to get out of the TSP, set up a different Roth IRA and roll it over into the new account. Then you can continue making contributions.

      For legal reasons this is not advice but I can tell you what I do.
      People should only buy a house to live in when their assets can pay for it by providing enough cash flow to the point that your buying a primary residents doesn't even impact you financially. Other wise they should just rent.
      Never buy mutual funds because the expense ratio is to high, plus there are many additional fees. mutual funds have been shown to under perform overtime.
      People should just stick to ETF'S, listed investment companies and value invest in single stocks only buy EFT'S when you aren't sure what to buy, if you want real estate invest in commercial real-estate in a limited company that has 50 percent debt on each of the properties that you buy. This should be where 99 percent of your money goes I would stay away from office buildings due to the lockdowns. I am personally a stock guy so my money is in the share market, but if you want real-estate you can. Also don't sell your properties because of the fact you will pay company tax. Although you don't get the capital gains tax benefit you are protected from law suits and you are not liable for the debt on your real-estate. You can also start a limited business with that money if you wish to.
      With the other 1 percent your cash flow, being in both gold and silver both being 0.5 percent of your cash flow in invested each.
      only hold on the cash for a maximum of 1 year and make sure that it's only for saving up to buy a cheap asset also make sure this cash is in hybrid bonds and not the bank only hybrid bonds no other types of bonds.
      only have what you need in the bank to cover the next week of expenses.
      For legal purposes this is not advice.

    I one time left a job, and didn’t think about the 401k, and they ended up sending me a check years later and I ended up having to pay the penalties for early withdraw.

    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

      I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes...
