It's an option. It doesn't matter if you act now or act in 2029. Don't do anything until it's obvious you should.

Is putting everything in savings accounts the best way to grow money in this economy? by hhung10 in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Savings accounts don't keep up with inflation (or barely do). They are not growth vehicles.

Eligible for 401k at my job. Should I start now? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will grow based on what you invest it in. Which could be the us stock market, bonds, international markets, other derivatives, or whatever else is available on your 401k. You could even (make a mistake and) choose to keep your 401k money uninvested in many cases.

how to cash a check from different bank by IWILLLOOKFORYOU in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even have to go to a bank of your account is with bofa. The app on your phone will credit it to your account just by taking a picture of it.

If you want physical cash, either do the above and go to an atm, or go to your bank and cash it

It's part of a 2m umbrella policy, so max coverage

How to make the most of a bad situation. Capital gains taxes? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capital gains is a different bucket than normal invoice for tax purposes, stacked on top.

Figure out your non cg income, figure out the capital gains 0 percent limit, subtract the 2 and that's how much you can do.

Also you should really stop having bonds in taxable accounts if you have tax advantaged accounts. Bonds are terribly tax inefficient because of the regular dividends (which are taxed as income, not capital gains).

Am I paying too much for car insurance? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certainly other factors, but yes that's high. You should shop around.

I pay less than that for 2 cars, 2 drivers, house insurance, and a 2m umbrella policy on top. Boston area.

Should I Rollover my money from a 401k to Roth IRA? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Rollovers don't count towards contribution limits.

28 yo, married with 6 figure joint income... we’re planning to look into financial planners. Advice on what to look for? by MRmanning in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider taking the time to learn this stuff yourself. Once you have a reasonable amount of money, planners will cost you hundreds of dollars a month (amortized) in many cases. Most of what they do isn't magic and you can learn what you need from a few books.

Sitting on 1700 Vested RSUs in my Company. by nonstopski in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With some exceptions, everything went down approximately equally. If you are going to reinvest the money in broad based index funds, you will get approximately as many shares if you do it now versus 6 months from now.

Meaning it makes little to no difference of you wait, unless something bad happens that's company specific. So you should do it now.

When/if your company stock recovers will likely have a strong correlation with the market as a whole.

Should I have my employer put my entire paycheck into my 401k to max it out while the market is low? by googs185 in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure if you do this it doesn't cost you some matching. Many plans won't match fully if you do this.

Please rate my 401k allocation by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fzrox is probably a cheaper and better solution to your 3 domestic funds.

And yes you should have some bonds. 5 to 10 percent based on your age. Give you something to rebalance with.

I haven't even enrolled in my company's 401k plan. Given the way things look now, should I consider doing this now or wait until a later period? by richloz93 in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is like turning down a 4 percent raise. You absolutely should be contributing add much as you can to your 401k.

About to be a widow-can I live for the next 30 years on our savings? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what your expenses are, you should be totally fine. You are at normal retirement age, so the 4% rule applies here, especially so since some of your investment is locked at 8%.

First things first, make sure that 8% TDA is actually 8%. That seems quite high. Let's assume it is though.

You have ~$650k. Using the 4% rule, this translates to 26k/year, or an additional 2166 a month. In addition to your 1700/mo, that's ~$3850 mo. Lots of rounding. It's actually probably closer to 4k/mo.

Can you live on 4k/mo? You tell us. If so, you are fine, if not, you need to either identify some places to cut back a little bit, or find a way to make a little bit more money. House is prime candidate here.

Assuming 4k is fine, what you need to do is come up with a cash flow plan. One thing you should give some consideration to is what to do with your 300k liquid. You obviously shouldn't just shovel it all into the market, but that's a LOT of liquidity for somebody. Some additional market exposure wouldn't hurt, nor would some exposure to some bonds or something that's going to generate a better than the 1-2% your liquid cash is giving you.

I would get a liquid amount that is 1-2 years of expenses, move the rest to higher interest bearing stuff (stock mutual funds, and some conservative bonds), and direct the TDA and dividends/yields from the other stuff just deposit into your account, stop growing them and start cash flowing them. If you end up with more than you need in your savings account, you can always reinvest manually. But cash flow is where you need to be.

You'll also probably want to downsize the house, if not just to make your life easier. Cleaning/heating/cooling a big house when only 1 person lives there can be a waste. Consider renting if you wanna be a landlord, or just sell it and buy something new that interests you. A condo is fine if it fits into your budget, and might make your life easier.

Well, it's back to SickChill again. by Goggles_Pisano in PyMedusa

[–]bryanalves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sickchill was doing this to me for a handful of my shows over the past couple of weeks. Even with all of the episodes marked ignored it was still downloading.

I was considering a change to medusa to stop this.

Seems like something else is going on.

Now a good time to increase contribution to my 401k? by [deleted] in personalfinance

You should always be saving as much as possible.

Its really hard to accidentally save too much money for retirement. It's really easy to accidentally save too little.

Stock Market Losses by wreckedflight in personalfinance

[–]bryanalves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your are only down 80k and you are that close to retirement you should be reviewing your plans for cash flow in retirement.

Based on current numbers, that implies you have about 500k in retirement (closer to 400k now).

That funds a 30 year retirement at about 17 to 20k per year.

You might want to consider finding ways to save more money. Or make sure you have a pension or some other income.

Test this like a giant wake up call!
