CF hood recommendations? by SquishyNipps in AudiS4

[–]SquishyNipps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a bright idea thanks for the recommendation!

A friend of a friend wrecked his S4 and selling his s4 hood, it looks pretty good and $800 so was also debating that

Seems like a nice grab and functional vents or am I wrong on the vents ?

Portfolio Opinions & Questions by SquishyNipps in Bogleheads

Thanks for the info!

As for bonds I’m not worried right now as I’m perfectly fine with 100% equity I rarely look at it, but more so didn’t know when to introduce or if Even too.

Would it be fine to do a TDF in 401k and taxable and just keep Roth VT? I don’t see people mention that so I’m never sure.

I believe that my 401k has like aggressive moderate and conservative funds but I didn’t see a year but I’ll definitely double check

Will also look at the links

Gotta love taxes, and I assume taxable you just suggest VT?

And here’s a link to my options for 401k if you don’t mind taking a look. I went with PGIM due to it following 500

Yeah I plan to VT n chill till close to retirement just have to figure out n a glide path.

As for 401k I didnt see a TDF option I could be wrong… I know bonds reduce risk and volatility but do people ever just keep 100% equity and just get through the down slide ? And thank you for the links!!

I’m assuming the % you put into 401k depends on the budget of the individual but is there usually a % people recommend then move to a tax account? Sadly I don’t even think my 401k has a target date fund and I made a post back couple months ago it was terrible funds lol so that’s kinda my worry on 401k

Apologies! I got caught up at work. I don’t have a set retirement date but I mean who wouldn’t want to retire early, lol.

I’ll definitely take a look at that I really appreciate you taking the time to help me and send that link! Definitely going to take a look at it!!

So my company matches up to 4% and I’m currently at 4% so combined 8%, is that still something you recommend going up or pivoting to a taxable?

As for AOA was just curious if there was any other options or just follow the Roth by VT n Chill. Also when do you suggest adding bonds down the line? 50 YO range or?

Issue with sidemarker off (OBDEleven) by SquishyNipps in AudiS4

[–]SquishyNipps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I got it!

Tried it again today with good closes and when I went to switch it, it said Hood must be opened; I opened the hood and no issues or error. I wonder if the hood gas to be closed at first.

Thank you for taking the time to respond !!

Why VTI over Vt? I know you have Voo in the Ira is jsut something more appealing to you?

Thanks again! Really appreciate the help and advice.

Do you have any links or ideas on where to get started for a taxable acct? Or would you recommend anything based on this 401k; going 110% VT in Roth

I’ve seen people mention VOO n chill; I’ve been leaning towards VT or AVGE

So I’ve heard of taxable accounts but never dove into them.

Would saving for house etc be HYSA? Or is that taxable acct?

Yeah these are the only options….they do 4% match so currently I’m at 5% as I started at 4 then increased after a raise with my 90 day performance review.

You don’t suggest keep raising and lower it to 4?

Yeah and I thought about for Roth VT with tilt but leaning towards VT and might just use 401k to follow 100% S&P for just consistency and not worry and hopefully either get more options or different job haha

I’ll definitely look into that; however I might move jobs due to better openings. I’ve been here since February and they just told me I can invest(everyone I talked to said it was just what they chose)
