This video is meant to be an extremely brief and general overview of investing and IRA's in general. There are many more specifics to know and understand, especially if you plan to retire early. That's a deeper and longer video coming soon. If you have any specific questions that you'd like me to cover in those future videos please leave me a comment and I'll do my best to get it answered!
An IRA is a type of account. Not an investment itself. You open this kind of account with an investment broker to save for retirement. As long as you are ok with not touching the money for a long time (until you reach "retirement age") then you stand to keep a lot more of your money! The federal government wants you to take care of yourself in retirement so your reward for choosing a tax-advantaged account like an IRA is a tax break that basically means you get to keep more of your own money!
We have IRA's with both Vanguard and M1 Finance. Both are good options, but so are many other brokers online. Pick whatever flavor you want as long as the fees are extremely low or $0 and get this wealth-building ball rolling! Here are links to those 2 companies in case you're interested:
Vanguard: investor.vanguard.com/home
M1 Finance: m1.finance/td-bpuTpiT9T

There is no perfect one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to investing and something as specific as choosing a type of IRA. Whether a Roth IRA or a Traditional IRA is right for you is totally dependent on your future and your goals. In any case, we are always better off to show up, start investing, and not sweat the details too much. (In case you're wondering, we currently split investing between traditional and Roth to kind of hedge our bets and cover any future scenario. For the first time, both my wife and I maxed out our IRA contributions for the year. For 2020 that's $6,000 per year, per person.)

Which Investing Account is Best? (401k vs IRA vs Taxable)

@@BrendanEvan Thank you so very much! :D I will be looking into this great education. Please, keep teaching and posting to us your wisdom and knowledge .... this will most definitely help a lot of people like me :)
Sheesh!!! 😮 Though I still don’t quite get it, you made my understanding go from 2% to 50%
That’s an awesome jump!
Thank u
Hi, your videos so far seem the most helpful. I’m new to this all and have been able to grasp a better understanding since I found your video. I’m still a bit confused though. I’ve recently come into some money and am trying to make the best move possible with it for a better life. I’m in my mid 20s. Would you suggest starting with a traditional IRA account or a Roth IRA for someone around my age group? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you! I’m also looking to start whichever with vanguard as you did.
Thanks so much!
I think you can pick if you prefer to be taxed now (Roth) then never again or get taxed someday later (Traditional)
It doesn’t make or break you either way honestly. Depending on how significant the money is you came into it may not matter. Personally I’m going to keep investing in a Roth for as long as possible.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the advice.
Ty so much
If you want to open a Roth ira with m1 and vanguard do you have to start with a certain amount of money and I'm also asking in general with Roth ira.
@@nikkid9757 I’d only pick one company for now, to make your life easier. I believe Vanguard has some investments with a minimum amount but there’s options there with no minimum. M1 has no minimum that I’m aware of
@@BrendanEvan ur the best. I going to do vanguard because of you..
Unfortunately I don’t have access to a 401k as I’m self employed. but I have an it’s i max out. I am setting up a SEP account with my financial advisor this year.
Sounds like you’re making great moves without one!
Can i just transfer the money and then take it all out?
Technically yes. But an IRA has early withdrawal penalties to be aware of.
Why would you do that? If you can’t stand to leave the money alone, I’d recommend a different account type.
0:55 seconds in and I'm already lost lol
Sorry man! Got anything I could answer now?
I’m 18 with 10k currently sitting in my account . I’m a freshman in college and I’m trying to find out what to do with this money. Thanks for the info
What kind of account is it in?
@@BrendanEvan just a high yield savings account 4.35%
@@sweptdown4264 that’s a great spot right now. I think what you do depends on your plans. Can you know for sure you don’t need the money in which case you could max out a Roth IRA? Or if you will need the money at some point but could use some help making sure you don’t spend it you could put it in a CD that locks it up for between 6months-4 years. I wasn’t very good at managing my money at that age so I hope you do better than me!!
How much money do i need to fund , can I fund $500,$1000 then start from there
Yep! A lot of brokerages nowadays have no minimums!
But I googled and saw that someone need to contribute 6,000 in a yeah and I was just wondering what if I didn't contribute what would happen
No, you don’t have a minimum. There’s a chance you heard about the maximum you can contribute in a year to an IRA, which is $6,000. You can start with $5 if you want! The more the merrier though
@@BrendanEvan ok thank you
My high yield savings account is getting me 4.35% in 2024
That’s pretty great
...tiocfaidh ár lá?
I’m 44yrs old soon to be 45 yrs old and i’m just now learning about this 😢
Glad you’re figuring it out!!
Is this good for next 50 years lol?
Things are always changing but the fundamentals don’t move that much. What are you asking about specifically?
Funny how we aren’t taught any of this at school. Instead we are taught useless crap
Right!?
Good info great music
Ha thanks David!
