I just know that not everyone can afford that. There's nothing wrong with even a few hundred dollars per year, especially if you're young.
A ROTH IRA is probably the most valuable investment vehicle for middle class earners. You should, however, contribute first to your 401k to get your full employer match (free money). After that, people should look to fund a ROTH. [Reply]

But putting anything in is good.
Yeah that but I'm finally getting my tax return from last year and this years plus with the Biden bucks I would have about 6k I could throw in there [Reply]
I was just looking at my ROTH and I have a mutual fund with T Rowe Price that made 50% in the past year. I thought that was fucking awesome for passive investing. [Reply]

I'm pissed that this was never explained to me when I was in college. [Reply]

I think this thread has all kinds of helpful advice and tips throughout it.
Day trading is part of investing as well, doesn't mean everyone on here does it, I'm just dabbling with my stimulus money from the Govt. with that. Play money i call it. [Reply]

Same here. Well maybe not pissed, but disappointed that I wasn't wise to it.
I've gotten a late start on supplemental retirement savings and have already banked a lot. I shudder to think how much I would have if I had started saving at 22 rather than in my 30s. [Reply]
my dad wants me to lowball the seller on this house i looked at today :-)
i'm thinking there's no fucking way i have a shot if i do that - everything in the house is practically brand new, they rehabbed the shit out of it - there's at least five or six offers coming in this weekend

It's all golden.
I've been using the stock tips I'm seeing in here as I've just gotten in to day trading in the last week or so.

Roth IRA was one of the first things I learned in street class on top of how to balance a check book. Haven’t set one up but now in my mid 30s I sure as shit want to set up a few $5k accounts [Reply]
