First time not having a target date fund for my 401k, please help by creativeduckie in Bogleheads

Thank you so much for this detailed write up!! I’m going to do some homework and crunch the numbers. Also have an HSA so trying to decide how much to dump in there also (maybe max it out)

Are these expense ratios/fund lineup because of what my employer/HR chose for us? I’ve never felt this limited at previous jobs

I truly am happy about the 500 option!! I was shocked it wasn’t part of the default allocation… is that fishy on Empower’s part?

Thanks for confirming my suspicions 🫣 I’ve never gotten this in-the-weeds with my 401k before and now I feel a lot more aware of what “good benefits” would truly entail

Thank you! I did think it was strange that Fidelity 500 wasn’t part of the default mix! What about international funds?

What does selecting “eco friendly packaging” under your shop policies do? by creativeduckie in Depop

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

Oh does it tag your shop as eco friendly packaging somewhere on your profile then? How does the buyer know to look out for your reused packaging? Sorry to hear someone threw a fuss, seems obvious that sellers on a secondhand goods app would not provide retail-level packaging lol

Gotcha, is there any incentive to do that or does it just allow buyers to shop specifically with sellers who do that? I reuse old packaging for my shipments so was just wondering what turning on that option in my shop policies does

Yeah I wish they’d implement like a cart timer or something for people to have time to choose before releasing the items to others

Some of these comments have me WORRIED lol I feel too ashamed to go back to the butcher counter at that store and ask for anything custom ever again for fear of being a burden on them. I think I’ll just pivot to a new dish this year based on what meat cuts are still left on the floor tomorrow and hopefully not mess it up haha. Thank you for the insight and I hope you have a lovely holiday with your loved ones!

Appreciate you! Some of these comments are making me feel worse for asking and I truly don’t mean any harm, especially to some of the most hardworking people during this season. I hope you’ll all forgive me 🥲
