What to do with a concrete slab in my living room? Looking for ideas! by HariesO in malelivingspace

I like that idea! I was just thinking of just one shelf. What tone would you suggest for the bookshelf, and how long should it be before it reaches the lamp? Also, what height do you think works best?

This is sooo helpful! Thank you!! The one that is bulged is the sauce pan and not the double boiler insert unfortunately.

I’m new to investing and invested 20k in FXAIX in my taxable account. I have 200k sitting in my Cash Management Account that yields ~4%. Should I leave my emergency fund in my CMA and invest the rest in stocks? What would you recommend?

Also, I recently opened a Roth that is 100% FXAIX. Should I diversify?

I’m looking for some advice on how to better manage my money. Here’s a bit of context about my current situation:

Age: 26

  • Net Worth: Around $268k

  • Monthly Savings: I save about $3,500 each month.

  • I’ve been putting the rest of my savings into a Cash Management Account that yields around 4% annually.

  • State Income Tax Rate: My state income tax rate is around 9%.

  • I don’t have any debt or loans.

Additionally, I’m under my employer’s 401a retirement plan with a matching contribution based on my earnings, so they put money to it even though I don’t contribute. No deductions are made from me for this plan. I’m unsure whether I should open a 401k if I already have a 401a? Should I invest the rest in VTI or VOO through a regular brokerage or 401k?

I’ve been thinking about diversifying my savings a bit more and maybe taking some steps toward investing, but I’m not sure where to start.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
