( www.reddit.com )

I think I screwed up my IRA I feel like a bit of a dummy, but here goes… I had been using betterment for an IRA to complement my 401k etc. It had around 7k. I converted it to a Roth and then did an indirect rollover to my bank as they had a promotion. This was January 2025. As I was doing my taxes I realized I was above the income threshold and needed to take out my exces…

How can I build financial literacy as a naive 20 something year old college student? I’m young, I was dumb. Live with parents, never worked. Have some funds saved up.

I also will try my best to not take out any loans and if I ever come…

What happens if I close the bank account that’s paying a student loan that’s not mine?

( www.reddit.com )

What happens if I close the bank account that’s paying a student loan that’s not mine? My parents took out a loan in their name and distributed it for my degree. The payments for this loan are tied to my bank account, which I’m looking to close. The loan provider (Nelnet/Mohela) refuses to talk to me about the loan since it’s not in my name. The loan does not appear on my debts and there’s no way for me to log into the account to…

Unfortunately, my immediate family isn’t well-adjusted, so I hired an attorney to represent …

I’m a minor who got their first job, what do I do when I get paid?? So I just got hired but where do I deposit my payments? I can’t open an account because I’m under 18 so would it be ok if I sent it to my moms? I trust her and she wouldn’t take the money or anything so I’m not concerned about that. Edit: The bank she uses does not let us open a checking account for minors(discover). I want to send her enough t…

Why wouldn’t everyone convert/rollover traditional 401k into Roth 401k if it’s available?

( www.reddit.com )

Why wouldn’t everyone convert/rollover traditional 401k into Roth 401k if it’s available? Is there a downside to rolling a traditional 401k into a Roth? Wouldn’t that mean that those funds aren’t taxed going in or coming out? I’m sure this can’t be right – seems too easy. If it’s a conversion but taxes are owed now, what’s the advantage of converting a trad 401k to a Roth 401k? submitted by /u/Alert_Ninja_6369
