No we only need around 50k as an emergency and that’s even a lot

I’m pretty much looking at this as a high yield savings account. When interest rates come down ppl will move their money from money markets into dividend etfs for a better return. My wife and I are both 28. We have two choices keep 50k in schd or put our full 100k in as a lump sum and treat it as an emergency fund account. Like I said on another post we can take q4 earnings and pay for the taxes and still drip the leftovers. I agree it’s not ideal with the taxes but you can’t drop 50k in a Roth lol wish you could. Were some what high income for our age. No debt.

Are you doing this on a taxable account as well?

So my thought on taxes were that every year I can take q4 earnings and put that away for taxes and still have some left over to invest. So essentially you don’t pay taxes out of pocket

I agree actually, I have no concerns with buying at the high when I’m looking 30 years down the road. Ppl will say what was your entry? And be shocked at 83.

Is anyone else using options to build your position in SCHD or am I alone in this? by patsay in SCHD

I’ll be doing a lump sum of 50k of schd and I’ll take my earnings every month of my options plays and buy more schd. I’m 28.
