I’m very good friends with someone who is very wealthy was probably a millionaire before selling his company. If you don’t know him or his family then you would never know that they are very well off. Doesn’t mention money doesn’t talk about it and doesn’t display it.Plot twist to this whole conversation about money. Wealthy people don’t talk about money.
Yes there is. That was the essence of the compromise.,There are penalties for clamoring the artificial noisemakers when the center is over the ball. They need to be called. Moreover MSU is worried that the SEC will go back to a complete ban of cowbells, as they should, if the fans break the rule about no bells when the center is over the ball in SEC play.
Lowe’s will 100% be my retirement job. I’ll be doing house projects anyway, so the discount will make it cheaper.
Win-win
Start at 20, put in 2k a year for 10 years. Invest it in total stock market index. Stock market avgs over 10% a year in history of the market. Over a million by 65. The key is starting early.
Good stuff. I retired at 58, 3 years ago. Little earlier than I thought I would. Did pretty much what you suggest. One thing I will add that I wished someone had told me about earlier is maxing out a Health Savings Account. Max that puppy out every year and invest inside of it. 100% tax free withdrawals for medical expenses. When I need @Glitch hips, I can pay for it!
We are just over 24 hours away from playing an SEC road game and yall are still in mid offseason form.... Retirement jobs, 401Ks, health plans....wth?Liked for the sentiment, which is 100% spot on. Get in early, get in often, don’t take it out. (Go ahead…)
But, you don’t “buy” an IRA. An IRA is an investment account/vehicle - you can hold all manner of assets (e.g.; stocks, bonds, funds, metals) purchased within it.
“Roth” is one type of IRA with tax advantages specific to it that differentiate it from “Traditional”; namely pre-tax vs post-tax contributions.
You’re talking about another type of IRA which is the “Rollover” IRA. Yes, you can roll your 401k into this type of IRA - but if they were traditional pre-tax 401k contributions (most are) you will have to pay tax before you convert to a Roth.
Another type of IRA is the “Spousal” IRA, where a spouse without “earned income” can have contributions made on their behalf into their own IRA by their spouse who does earn income. My wife has one of these.
I’ve always enjoyed learning about investing and retirement planning. After being heavily focused on it for 20 years my biggest takeaway for you young folks is to start early and invest as much as you can afford. Your investment mix isn’t as important as your contribution rate. Invest broadly in low cost index funds as the core of your portfolio. Eventually market gains will outpace your contributions and the real magic begins. I’m one of those Bogleheads which is viewed as boring but it works.

All of the platitudes about money and family and happiness are mostly true.Now go talk to someone worth low 5 figures.
Thinking they might think financials are a little higher on the list.

But it’s a whole heck of a lot easier to find joy in the intangibles, when you don’t have to worry about money.
I think that’s quite the assumption.Now go talk to someone worth low 5 figures.

I know a guy whose grandma passed away and made him rich, he can't shut up about it. Always showing off toys and acting like he's some how better than everyone else now.I’m very good friends with someone who is very wealthy was probably a millionaire before selling his company. If you don’t know him or his family then you would never know that they are very well off. Doesn’t mention money doesn’t talk about it and doesn’t display it.
No it wouldn’t.I understood what you were saying about Fidelity, but the OP, or at least the one you responded to, said that 4% had "saved" $1M. To me "saved" implied a reference to accounts with an absolute value rather than real estate or other investments with a relative estimated value. That's why I was ok with testing against an implied market share knowing it excluded other bank accounts.
Yes, 14M is a large number, but those 14M aren't evenly distributed across the country. Exclude the wealthiest county from each state from that calculation and the absolute number and the percent would yield a different conclusion about prevalence.
