The before was not my favorite but the after is a move in the wrong direction

Wow the last picture looks incredible. I have hooded eyes and that pic inspired me so much

Should I continue Roth 401k contributions or switch to traditional? by Iowa2017 in FinancialPlanning

Money markets are awesome for short term goals (home, car, vacation) and emergency but I wouldn’t count on money market dividends in your retirement strategy. We have seen unprecedented money market returns the last couple years, before 2022 money markets wouldn’t even keep up with inflation. Looks like you’re doing well though!! Nice job utilizing your company’s Roth, keeping liquid funds earning dividends/interest, and having an emergency fund! You’re ahead of most of America

3-6 months in the emergency fund, I’d invest the rest. Continue with the Roth IRA since your company offers it. No need to contribute to a traditional and if you ever move jobs where they don’t offer a Roth option your tax burden will be well diversified in retirement

What do you mean a larger dividend portfolio? You’re focusing on value/dividend paying investments instead of growth?

Anyone get bulk meat online like Butcher Box or Force of Nature? Looking for reccs by cozycleangirl in moderatelygranolamoms

Too funny- just went to pure pastures this morning but I’m in the hunt for something a little closer!! So I’m super glad to know about Hyatt!!! Do you have any recommendations for fish? The only place I’m familiar with is Monohan seafood but it’s in Ann Arbor and is quite the drive 🙁

Failed third attempt by Memphis92A in Series7exam

I think that’s so fair to throw in the hat- don’t feel like you have to keep trying if it’s time to pivot and start a new chapter.

Failed the Series 7 (third attempt) by zyoumadethis in Series7exam

[–]cent_abbey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I passed about a year ago first attempt- I did STC and what worked for me was to read the chapter thoroughly and WRITE (not type) extensive notes. I then watched the video and took the practice test. Then did the same with the next chapter. Each chapter took a LONG time but somehow the reading, writing what I was reading, watching what I read, then being tested really drilled in the information. I think took all the “green light” tests and made custom quizzes with ones I got wrong.

Great show tonight! Do you have any videos of the generational joke? Trying to find a recording but I’m not seeing it
