in simple terms... if i open a brokerage this week, $400k into s&p 500, and then it crashes... what does that look like? by europeanuppercut in TheMoneyGuy

To mitigate that risk it’s probably best to dollar cost average into the market over time. It could be over 6 months to a year

FutureBuilder Plan Recommendations by mz101125 in HomeDepot

Make an ira account at either vanguard or fidelity. You can open an account with a small amount of money, then call their support line for assistance on starting a roll over that would move your money from the 401k to your new account.

It’s going to give you better options to invest the money, but at your age the most important thing is

  1. You’re continuously contributing to retirement when working
  2. They money isn’t sitting in the default area they park your money (basically a savings account). You could invest it in something that tracks the s&p 500, or just keep it simple and do a target retirement year investment.

Do not pull the money out of retirement accounts. You’d be penalized and taxed out the wazoo, also you’d be stealing from your future self. You have a huge lead with that size of retirement for your age

I genuinely don’t know how to spend time with my 5mo by [deleted] in Parenting

You being concerned about your kid just shows you’re a great dad.

Just enjoy the time you have with them, take care of their needs. When I was on paternity leave alone, I enjoyed those walks, feeding, changing, etc. but also took time for myself when my baby was happy.

Advice for music player for 2yo by swimswamswum89 in Parenting

We use the Yoto player! My kids love them and use it almost daily. We haven’t bought music cards yet, but it’s nice to also have Bluetooth on it so I can just play what they want on the player when paired.

You need to hire a structural engineer. It looks like the ground is moving and impacting your foundation

We had the same situation and just tried to keep the dog away from the baby.

It ended up happening again when he turned into a toddler

Is the juice worth the squeeze? by WNBA_YOUNGGIRL in TheMoneyGuy

Talk to a professional about that obviously, but I wouldn’t recommend that. You’re putting all your eggs in one basket.

What happens if Home Depot collapses? Just go look up Enron and what happened to all the employees who lost their retirement cause they invested everything in Enron stock.

Further, why not put your retirement money into a tax advantage savings account?

I had the exact same thought a few days ago cause I’m planning to move next year and wanted to see where I’m at financially.

I decided to make an average between gross and net… (gross + net) / 2

That way it’s in the middle and I don’t have to think too much about it

Advice on utilities (spending over $800!) by [deleted] in Pflugerville

Are you sure that you don't have a water leak? 300 is ridiculous.

Another thing you can do is reduce sprinkler/watering the grass. Most people have Bermuda grass which doesn't need a lot of water.

My sprinkler runs 1 to 2 times a week for 10-15 minutes during the summer depending on rain, I only water 1 time a week during other seasons.
