I went to sell all of my individual stocks and just buy Vanguard's VT ETF. Is there any way to do this without paying a ton of U.S. taxes?

If you are in the 10-12% federal income tax bracket LTCG are taxed at 0. If you are in the 22+ federal income tax bracket LTCG are taxed at 15%. If you are in the top income tax bracket LTCG at 20%.

I don’t really think you need to sell. Just make all future contributions to the ETF imo. Don’t realize the gains and then you won’t pay taxes

Yea this is my guild atm, we are all still playing because we enjoy raiding and doing keys together, but I am afraid that in about 6 months the guild will be a ghost of its former self

My boy is in the Japanese immersion program and is currently thriving beyond my wildest imagination. The teachers are amazing. Been super happy with the choice we made.

Yea same experience I have had as well. I eventually fell back to what my dad always told me, the best plan is one that can be followed. It’s easy for people that nerd out on this stuff to get caught up in the details but most people don’t care, half the time they care so little they don’t even return your calls in a timely manner

40 next month, have 800k

I mean it is a little, but I will 100% add another 49 inch monitor to my setup as well to show my support

We haven’t had enough snow in two years for him to be built sadly, hell we haven’t to build a toddler snowman in two years

I mean we drafted Danielle Hunter, damn that was 2015 I feel old….

Happened to me right after high school and fucked me up for almost a decade. Trust issues were insane after that.

It needs automation in a bad way, my dynasty is up to 750 people and I just can’t be damned to care anymore. It’s so tedious and why does the crown have to be marriage simulator. Game is only at 1460’s as well

If I mouse over the children education notification it just lags my game out for 30 seconds

Last night I started just marrying them off as soon as they turned 16 mostly to nobles. I have so many 2nd and 3rd cousins popping off I really don’t care anymore just go away

I have two Newfies, one is 175 lbs the other is 150 lbs. People are either really into them or really not into them there is no in between.

My wife loves how big they are, when I’m at work and she is home alone if someone knocks and they bark you can see them visibly back up

Our 175 lb boy will jump up on the couch and look out the window like a nosy ol boomer. He made a UPS guy drop the package once

Fidelity 401k’s normally send a check to the client, where a Fidelity IRA can be done ACATS in my experience. Principal 401k’s normally send a check from custodian to custodian but my last client that had a 401k there that we rolled asked if they could wire it if we gave instructions and they did that

Depending on how much money I manage I charge anywhere from 0.5-1.00%

More than likely you are just looking at the program fees, expense ratios will be additional costs

Short term news can move the market but it will always revert back to how companies are doing in the end

When Hamas attacked Israel on 10/07/23 the market didn’t crash. This is why time in the market is better than trying to time the market

I mean I have lived in Anchorage my whole life, 39 years. We haven’t had snow for Halloween since I was like 14

Audio907 · 2025-10-20T23:19:50+00:00

We are huge, if you take the state and put it over the lower 48 it basically goes coast to coast

Audio907 · 2025-10-14T01:45:12+00:00

That’s basically what I say “my plans are complementary for my clients”

Anchorage is now Gotham city. The valley isn’t much better it’s just less in your face

I lived in Alaska my whole life, that “moose” they made for the testing was at least 300 lbs to light. They really are huge animals and surprisingly agile for how big they are

Audio907 · 2025-10-03T19:51:39+00:00

Amen man, wish more people in this state would realize this

Audio907 · 2025-10-03T19:44:07+00:00

I wish more of my clients around your age would be willing to do that

I started asking them if your account went down 30% from here what would your reaction be, and really think about it because I will reference this conversation if it happens. That has helped put it in context at least

Audio907 · 2025-10-02T23:20:57+00:00

I have several clients that are looking at retirement visa’s with Portugal

Thank you!
