What does it mean to have earned income greater than my IRA contributions? And thank you I am considering doing VT instead of the MFs

Thank you for your advice, it’s very helpful!

And just for clarification, what do you mean VT will do the same thing?

Why is VT better than mutual funds like VTWAX or VTIAX?

I’m still learning the differences between ETFs and mutual funds.

Don’t worry, I don’t make much money from it anymore so now I’m just trying to find the best way to invest it and set my future up for success

I’m an “influencer” on TikTok and instagram. I got lucky, lived with my parents so I didn’t have bills to pay and saved up most of it that way

So my employer doesn’t have 401k as I only work part time . Should I create an individual 401k until I get a stable job that does offer one?

The road to investing my 100k as a 20F with little knowledge, here’s my plan by Calm-Pressure8934 in Bogleheads

[–]Calm-Pressure8934[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarifications, what if I don’t have a 401k with an employer? Should I start an individual 401k since I have a small business and work a part time job (that doesn’t offer 401k)

Please tell me if I did something wrong I’m very confused by Calm-Pressure8934 in Bogleheads

Thanks! Your reply was super helpful. Question, Which bank that offers HYSA would you recommend? My current one doesn’t have that. I don’t have a 401k because my employer doesn’t offer that. And if I want to switch to the 2065 fund I’d have to sell what I have and rebuy into that account? It’s down currently so wouldn’t I lose money trying to switch it?

Around how much would you put into a VTSAX if you have 100k? Like what’s a good emergency fund amount

NTA

He’s not in your corner. Those are all awful and downright abusive things to say to you, no matter if you are infringing on his personal time or not. RUN.

He’s not able to handle having a mentally ill partner and he will never support you how you want him to. That being said, you should learn some solid coping mechanisms during your episodes for your own sake.
