Investing in stock market vs. saving up for a house Hi all, I’m in my early 20s, living in the bay area, trying to navigate the world of PF. I already have an emergency fund with a sufficient amount of money, and maxing out on both my 401k (no match) and Roth IRA. After the retirement funds, necessary expenses (rent, phone & utilities, etc.), and other ‘wants’ expenses (eating out, subscriptions,…

Spouse is conservative at investing money Me (28M) and my wife (28F) both contribute a portion of our take home pay to a joint checking account. This covers all family expenses, mortgage, bills, groceries, etc. There is regularly a surplus in the account (25k+) that I wish we would invest rather than keeping cash.

New to investing at 27 years old. Am I doing this right?

( www.reddit.com )

New to investing at 27 years old. Am I doing this right? Just turned 27. Before today, my savings account had about $36,000 in it.

I am now planning on opening a general account to dump $20,000 into it, buy more FXAIX, then putting in at least…

Is Banshee actually worth investing my time into?

( www.reddit.com )

Is Banshee actually worth investing my time into? I’ve seen so many posts about this show that I finally had to check it out. Watched the first episode last night and it has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen, as if it’s part of some Road House cinematic universe. Does the show maintain the tone of the first episode or does it become a more serious drama? I’m all for a slic…

How should I approach investing into my new job’s 401k?

( www.reddit.com )

How should I approach investing into my new job’s 401k? So I recently got a new job and don’t know how to approach their 401k. My previous company matched $0.50 per $1.00 up to 6%, so essentially a 3% match. My new job has a setup of $0.35 per $1.00 up to 15%. Pretty much a 5.25% match. So I got a pay bump but I have to put in an extra 9% pre tax money to get a 2.25% higher match. Is that worth it? M…
