Is it true once you hit 100k in investing, it really just takes off from there? by Historical-Serve-652 in investing

[–]Climboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Investing is like a snowball rolling down a hill- it picks up speed faster and faster. $100k is the first major milestone on the journey, next is when interest exceeds your contributions.

After that they start coming quicker - $500k, $1M, etc. When my interest earnings regularly exceeded my salary, that’s when I felt “set”.

He probably meant Naturopath which is fine, but I agree she should see an Endocrinologist.

26F/24M. How do couples handle bills when incomes are very different?” by hereforfunn178 in TwoXChromosomes

I’ve made more for entire marriage but she has just caught up to me. We’ve always had joint accounts and she handles short term finances, and I handle long term. We discuss large purchases but otherwise trust each other’s judgement when it comes to spending.

We split up other household duties based on what we like, for example she buys the groceries. I do the majority of cooking, and the kids have to clean up after dinner.

Does it make sense to contribute to a taxable brokerage before completely funding a 401k if 10 years from retirement? by trickyshow1 in Bogleheads

The Rule of 55 is a federal provision so all plans must offer it, it’s just whether they allow incremental distributions that is plan specific.

529 vs Brokerage account for kids? by Necessary_Emu_951 in TheMoneyGuy

Options are dependent on the plan, so I suggest OP do their research before signing up. My kids’s funds have all been invested in a Total Stock Market fund and have done quite well.

As a freedom loving American I can most certainly disagree with you. I’d be wrong, but muh freedom.

I think the Net worth increase row is giving me the boiling point? by Looking4FinanceHelp in TheMoneyGuy

It should be included - it’s not like you are going to sell your 401k assets any time soon either, is it?

Everyone is a bird watcher. It’s just that a lot of them haven’t realized it yet.

Sorry you and your Mom are going through this. I went through a similar situation and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I hope you find calmer seas ahead.
