    Ah that makes sense, thank you. For now I’m doing backdoor Roth IRA contributions as I can’t do direct contributions. Eventually I hope to be able to also use the mega backdoor after I fill up the pre-tax federal contribution limits for 401k. That will be “after-tax” that is converted to Roth.



  • Wow, great advice! Thanks so much. My rIRA is through Vanguard, and I do want a brokerage account at some point in the future for mid/long term savings.

    I’ll likely go with a blend of the Vanguard options, but just so I know, why might it be better to do so if I have an IRA and plan to have a brokerage in the future? Just so I have more “dials to turn” to match my tolerances?



  • Thanks for the reply!

    • Here is what I seem to have access to (the Vanguard funds are catching my attention).
    • I just mean that I’d prefer something not too risky, like putting all your money into a single stock or industry. I’d like some diversity
    • Good point, I was just told that dividends set to re-invest are a good way to compound
    • I was hoping in the next 25-30 years
    • rIRA that I max each year (it’s only a couple years old), HSA and 529
