When it comes to investing your hard-earned money, you have many choices. From 401ks to Roth IRAs, Traditional IRAs, HSAs, and 529 Plans, there are a variety of investment accounts that can help you reach your financial goals. But which one should you choose?
The answer depends on your individual financial situation, but here’s a quick overview of the different types of investment accounts so you can make an informed decision.
401k: A 401k is an employer-sponsored retirement account. It’s funded with pre-tax dollars and has the potential to grow tax-deferred. Employers often match contributions, making it a great way to save for retirement.
Roth IRA: A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account funded with after-tax dollars. It has the potential to grow tax-free and contributions can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.
Traditional IRA: A Traditional IRA is also an individual retirement account funded with pre-tax dollars. It has the potential to grow tax-deferred and contributions can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.
HSA: An HSA is a health savings account. It’s funded with pre-tax dollars and can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses. Any unused funds can be invested and have the potential to grow tax-deferred.
529 Plan: A 529 Plan is an education savings plan. It’s funded with after-tax dollars and can be used to pay for qualified education expenses. Any unused funds can be invested and have the potential to grow tax-free.
Ultimately, the right investment account for you depends on your individual financial situation and goals. Be sure to consult a financial advisor to ensure you’re making the best decision for your unique needs.
I love seeing people emphasize the HSA. I think it's the best retirement acct of them all because it's so flexible. I started saving in my 403b up to the match, then I maxed out my HSA, then I maxed out my Roth IRA. Now I'm working toward maxing out my 403b over the next several years. while simultaneously funding a taxable brokerage acct. I want the have maximum tax flexibility in retirement, so I will have eggs in every kind of basket. Plus I'm trying to hit a 55% savings rate within the next few years so I can reach my retirement goal by age 60.
TSP, lol.
Lovely video
Curious what your thoughts are on products like betterment for folks without a 401k option?
Great info as always! Looking forward to your subscription plan rolling out. Keep working hard man solid info.
What about the freelancers, self employed for account types? I am interested in a solo 401k or sep Roth IRA
Great approach, this question comes up all the time so this was great to cover!
Solid video. Another reason the taxable account is good to have is if you plan on retiring early and need a bridge from retirement to when u can access your other accounts without an early penalty. Good stuff.
Another great, clearly explained, informative video. I feel like I attend a financial seminar every Friday.
Should you have emergency fund when you have credit cards with high balance and interest rates?
Another great video. Getting the 401-k match is missed by so many. I've always encouraged my peers to begin with one or two percent and just increase it every three to six months and never leave money on the table. Once they "match the match" I would say split additional money in the traditional and the HSA. In this way, you are building both balances. It's just a strategy worth considering.
