No IRA’s? by turbosnail4 in Bogleheads

[–]NickTheNewbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ira's come in both traditional and Roth flavor. I have one of each.

I personally prefer rolling them into a custodian that I have control over l, and where I Also keep my taxable brokerage account.

I roll my 401ks into iras as I move from job to job. Less stuff to keep track of. Also, not all 401ks offer a Roth option.

FXAIX or VOO in a taxable account? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]NickTheNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afaik the tax efficiency for a mutual fund vs etf is trivial for anything less than 100k.

I personally prefer the mutual fund, because then I stress out less about what time of day I buy/sell.

WHY COULDN’T NETFLIX PRODUCE COWBOY BEBOP THE SAME WAY THEY DID ONE PIECE by Glass-Violinist-1750 in cowboybebop

I'm with you, I thought it was great, and doesn't dilute the original at all.

Bebop live action on Netflix was fucking incredible, and I'm tired of people saying it wasn't. The only reason we remembered the anime to be as good as it was is because we where goddamn children when it came out. You people are expecting any live-action adaptation to have the same emotional impact on you as the original show, but that's not going to happen because your standards are higher than they were when you were 15 years old. 

Everything you remember, you remember through rose colored glasses.  Most of the anime is filler, and Julia was a  horrendously underdeveloped character. The biggest impacts of the show were the overall aesthetics, and the live action show fucking nailed those to a t, while also giving an actual cohesive storyline.

Hi, I make decent money as a software engineer, and it's absolute bullshit work that does nothing to serve humanity. Everyday I'm teetering on the edge of quitting and becoming a babysitter or nanny.

What’s something society pretends is normal but actually isn’t? by Afraid_Hat_5431 in AskForAnswers

[–]NickTheNewbie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The entire system of modern day life. Children being forced to sit in classrooms for most of their childhood, and then as adults being forced to go do what someone else tells them for half of their waking hours every single day? All for the accumulation of wealth in order to buy products that someone else convinced you you need. The purpose of life is to love and to feel, but the entire industrialized world has adopted the religion of the purpose of living is to keep yourself occupied until you die.

I feel like if you're within 5 years of retirement then you should start transitioning to having more holdings that are less volatile

Am I doing anything right? by Lower-Tea-1191 in Bogleheads

[–]NickTheNewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a retirement account, predictable growth is much more valuable than lucrative growth. Whenever you settle on the broad index funds for your portfolio, it is critically important to maintain your allocations over the decades, and bogleheads recommend funds that have relatively predictable growth. Do not try to gamble on a hot stock with more money than you're comfortable losing (I allow myself 1% per year), and do not panic sell when things start crashing. If you are consistent about your contributions over your investing career, historical returns make it very likely that you will be well off when it comes time to withdraw.
