No matter what you say or how much important the subject is, a lot of people come here to see you and watch you talking that frequently. Including me TURTLE
Well by golly that's awfully kind of you to say
same! i never remember what is she talking about. i watch her to take stress off :)))
She smiles, we smile and we all have a better day!
Focus on your hair health, please 🙏 Love ❤️ you@@TaylorBell
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor....the most important thing you said in this video pertains to contributing to a Roth 401K because you plan to be in a higher tax bracket when you retire than you are now. This is SUCH an important lesson for everyone to pay attention to. I finally had this explained to me at age 45 or so, waaaaaay too late in life. I had already spent 25 years putting away pre-tax money into my retirement. Now, when we take a look at what our revenue streams will be in retirement, turns out we will be in a much higher tax bracket than we are now. It's not too late, folks....contribute to a Roth account when you are young!!!!!
I am a rising college freshman! You are my fav RUclipsr of all time. I always finish your videos with a newfound motivation to do something special with my life! 🐢
oh my gosh THANK YOU 🐢I appreciate you!
You should start your own (separate) investment/financial/money management RUclips channel. You can play the new channel name off the stock market bell 🔔 and your name and call it The Financial Bell (or something more clever).
I like the way you're thinkin
@@TaylorBellIf you do start your own financial channel a whole video on how to obtain health insurance ( health insurance options) for the self employed (or under employed) would be highly beneficial to people just starting out/graduating from college or highschool. Including a section on supplemental insurance to pay the bills if illness or injury. Sorry I know, all very boring 🥱. But you organize information in a very straightforward and useful manner.
No matter what the subject matter is of your videos, its always nice to see you speak with so much enthusiasm and passion. Your genuineness (?) and openess is honestly always so refreshing. Respect! 🐢
That is so nice of you to say-- I really appreciate it 💜
HSA's are my favorite account so I'm glad you mentioned them. Most people don't realize you can invest your HSA money. Also, at age 65 you can take money out of an HSA for non-medical expenses without the 20% penalty. You would pay taxes on it though for non-medical expenses. So it essentially can be used as an HSA or a traditional retirement account after age 65.
The contribution limit for SEP-IRAs is technically 25% but since you are taking a deduction on the contributions, that reduces your taxable income which in turn reduces the 25% amount that you can contribute. So the limit usually falls somewhere between 20-25% but is usually a little lower than 25%. Hopefully later this year firms will start offering Roth SEP-IRAs. Those are allowed now after the SECURE 2.0 bill was passed.
Some good strategies to consider in the future for brokerage accounts are tax loss harvesting & donating appreciated shares to reduce your capital gains taxes down the road. Great video though! Seems like you are setting yourself up great for the future.
Hi Taylor! Don’t forget about the pro rata rules for the back door Roth contribution! You may know but your viewers may not and then they’ll be surprised by the tax bill!
Perfectly timed video for my 15 minute break
Frick yeah. Leaving you with a 1 min 40 second buffer to spare 😩
Girl… You are helping so many people by making these videos… Thank you so much!
Omg I was JUST watching one of your old videos and wondered when you were gonna post again, the timing is perfect!❤ Thank you
Let's gooooooo. Happy to deliver 💜
The "I am American" and the Eagle sound in the background is perfect 👌 lol
Hahahahah thank you for noticing
You're an inspiration to me. I'm a 40 year old guy with a full-time job in the UK but you've inspired me to spend more time on my side hustle (poker) and now I'm making more money than before. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!
Wow thrilled to hear it!!! Big proponent of side hustles. Thank ya for watching, loved my trip to the UK
Cash Games or Tournaments?
Expense ratios aren't the only consider for ETFs vs mutual funds. ETFs tend to be far more tax efficient given their structure and how they don't have to pay out capital gains. Beyond the tax efficiency, I think too many people chase the lowest expense ratio while leaving some gains on the table. It is very important to look at everything on a tax and fee adjusted basis
I always feel so excited to watch these sorta like informational videos, they are a perfect combination of, inspiring, helpful, interesting, relaxing and fun.
YAY so glad you find them to be so
Awesome that you were able to max out all your different tax advantaged accounts during your corporate job era!
Hi Taylor, I love your content! I'm your age and an independent woman and it's fascinating to see such transparency. Haven't quite gotten to such open levels of dialogue with my friends and family yet, lol. Wishing you the best on your journey!
Hi Taylor, loved the video! A suggestion for a video idea would be to share some tips on how you track your expenses. If it's an Excel spreadsheet/Google sheet, it would be great if you can share what functions you utilize. Have a great day!
The ETF I would recommend over VOO or SWPPX is VT(not to be confused with VTI), because you'd have more fully diversified total market exposure. The opportunity cost loss of only sticking to the S&P500 outweighs the slightly higher 0.07% MER of VT because you're missing out on some mid cap and small cap as well as international and emerging markets.
SWPPX fan too 👍🏻 Have a followup video idea: How do you mix and checking, savings, and credit card accounts to maximize benefits? (Reward points, 4% interest, expenses, etc)
Two weeks ago, I experienced the loss of someone dear to me. Your content has been a source of solace, bringing a glimmer of hope and lifting my spirits. Thank you for generously sharing your life with us; it's not just brightening my day, but also bringing comfort to many others like me!
What an honor to receive a comment like this, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you all the best wishes and happy vibes 💜
@@TaylorBell Love u
Taylor, I'm not even from the US but I watched your video from start to finish because I was amazed at how eloquent and smart you are! Congrats on your financial journey. Seems like you are doing great!
Aw you are too kind!!! Thank you so much, and thank you for being here!
This was a really good video Taylor learned some excellent advice.
Such a great video! I appreciate the way you communicate in a way that is direct and confident, but also humble and with grace. Keep up the great content!
Aw I appreciate that!!!! Thank you!
My head is spinning lol! But this is good. Taylor you smart.
Thanks, for posting and providing so much quality information.
Thank you very, very much for the great video! Since watching Taylor Bell, I have taken more of an interest in financing, banking, and other things concerning money! Also, I have mentioned so many that part of me is so deeply in love/head over in love with Taylor Bell this is because I have fallen deeply in love with New York! The reason is that I am accountable to some very powerful/influential people and I had to do something to get over my PAST hatred of American culture. I noticed Taylor Bell's channel-she is very different, very intelligent, friendly, and approachable. Even though a lot of people are very different from who they are in real, its her transparency/sincerity! For some strange reason, I am also videos on US immigration! Thank you very much, Taylor Bell! You are absolutely fantastic and brilliant! Keep up the perfect work!
Starting my day with Taylor giving us a great breakdown on her video, love it ❤, have a wonderful day Taylor 🐢
heck yeah! Thanks alejandro, you too 🐢
this is a great information you talk about it but in my country, it’s different and difficult. Thank you Taylor 😊
thank you for your video, it was interesting to watch and compare being a worker and an entrepreneur
Wow, 1 minute! Can't wait to see the new video! Loooove from Austin 🎉💖
let's goooooo! Greeting from NYC
I retired at age 50 and manage my own investments. I watch some personal finance channels on here. This is probably why the algorithm recommended your video to me. Your personal finance strategy is very sound and is especially impressive at your age. I didn’t start getting serous about personal finances until about a month before my 31st birthday.
always looking forward to your videos!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
You can still model, if you want. You have beauty and brains. Take advantage, an additional stream of income you’ve totally missed.
Congrats. I think financial education should be a subject taught in schools. 👊
I love following you and learning from you. You are an amazing young woman.
I love these types of videos because they are so helpful!
woooooo
Another great vid from Taylor!
Taylor, great video and congrats on making the jump to full-time self employment! I would just add a few thoughts about tax strategy based on your income: As a $300K/yr earner and single filer, you're currently in the 35% bracket. I know you said you expect your taxes to be higher in retirement, but I would suggest you carefully evaluate that hypothesis: Are you likely to have a house with no mortgage by retirement? That dramatically reduces your fixed expenses. Are you possibly going to be married? The joint-filer brackets are much higher than those of a single filer. Plus, even if rates remain constant or slightly increase, the brackets will be adjusted for inflation and increase, thereby lowering your effective tax rate (the important number) by the time you retire. Plus, if you're drawing 100% of your income from investment accounts, you can control your cash flows to manage your tax liability. In short, this is why you may likely have a lower effective tax rate in retirement even while enjoying a more luxurious standard of living. Something to keep in mind.
With that in mind, let's just game a quick hypothetical: You're in the 35% bracket right now. Let's say the TCJA brackets expire as they are currently slated to do in 2026 and you're in the 25% bracket in retirement. This means you're saving 10% of every dollar you earn today by contributing tax-deferred instead of after-tax dollars. An Individual 401k at Schwab (or Fidelity, etc), has a $69,000 contribution limit like your SEP IRA, but unlike the SEP IRA the Individual 401k isn't subject to the IRS's pro rata rule. So you could contribute pre-tax dollars to the Individual 401k to lower your current tax burden, continue to do the backdoor Roth IRA contributions to lower your future tax burden, and then in your early years of retirement do a Roth conversion ladder to convert the pre-tax dollars to Roth dollars at the 10-15% brackets. Using tax-deferred accounts to shift the timing of your tax liability in this way would help minimize your lifetime tax liability. Roth accounts are fantastic investment vehicles, but for high earners the tax-deferred accounts are powerful tools to manage and reduce your tax liability. Best of luck to you!

Go Taylor! I Love your videos and vlogs. Any chance of you uploading a vlog from London?. 😁
Your videos are so nice to watch, no matter what you talk about :D
aw so glad you think so 🥹
You inspire me Taylor ❤
Taylor, your video was insightful and engaging. Great job!
Thank you so much!!
when she talks, people listen...
that's the kind of power she has.
🙈
Great advice Thank You. I Save / Invest 80% of my income & appreciate your practical approach. I haven't done Crypto whatsoever & won't. Glad you brought that up. I am glad you brought up Health Insurance. I have been struggling with going into my consulting ideas & how to handle health insurance & dental insurance? No, I haven't researched my health insurance & dental plans self-employed options yet.
Hi Taylor! I love u and ur videos and ur turtle!!❤
Outstanding video every time any time I stand with u
great work Taylor! Kate Middleton needs to take some advice from you
Always love seeing Papa humphrey in the comments :)
Means a lot from you, Big H!
Wonder what those royal sponsorships are like 🤑
😂
Hey Taylor could you do a video on your process? You talked a bit in one of your older videos about how you write scripts, etc and how isolating the content creation job can be - a little bit of a glimpse and deep dive into what that looks like?
Taylor Beautiful video--and informational. As a woman in my early 50s you nailed it. I am Bullish on Bitcoin though--personal preference. Much love and enjoy your trip.🥰
Really interesting video Taylor! And love seeing you film in London (my home city). Will you be doing a vlog of what you got up to on your visit?
Thank you!! I absolutely will, can't wait to make it
As someone who's been in finance for a long time... screwing around with single names is a fool's errand. For every Tesla, there's a Beyond Meat. Just stick all your money in SPX ETF's like she says.
Self employment gang 👊 I'm an Architectural Home Designer contracting out my designs/plans. Seeing invoices at my former employers drove me to self employment. Life is 1000% more exciting and fulfilling. Props to you for doing so in the greatest city on the planet 👏
Wow.......Taylor Bell is backkk❤❤😍😍
WE BACK
hellor and welcome backk🐢
Hellooooooor!!! Thank ya for being here 🐢 💜
Hi Taylor. I enjoy your style and approach to these videos very much. It's like sitting down with a friend and having a discussion. Have a good week. Larry
thanks so much Larry! Very glad you enjoy them
Love your money videos!!!!
Excellent, thoughtful video. All seems good, except for not investing all in Tesla..
As my income is very cyclical, i keep up to 2 years of living expenses covered.
Began working last year to make it less cyclical or lumpy as you call it. Hopefully that will start workign soon
Thanks for the informative video! I look at a lot of tax returns for my job (credit analyst - works on CRE loans) and I'm curious, when you file do you report your income in Schedule C, have a separate entity that files its own TR and then bring that into your personal on Sch E p2, or do some other method? Hope you enjoyed your trip to Europe!
Taylor - Love your content, I hope you have fun in my home town city of London!😃🇬🇧
Nice to hear how you managed the income differently between corporate and YT it's just cool to hear lmao
Health insurance is a good reason to stay employed. Our standard of living depends on how good our health care coverage is.
Great video. I enjoyed it. I need you to look at my finances! 😂
11 seconds ago!!! hiiiii!! new video is here finally
woop woop!!! thanks for being here!!
Awesome Taylor 😊🎉🎉❤
You are my favourite RUclipsr you know I am from India 😊 and i really love your voice and Everything.
And i always wait when will your video came
As a brit its always fascinating to see the differences in how you have to try and invest and save to look after yourself in the USA vs how we do over here. Makes it easier to listen to without falling asleep when we have such a great and engaging host who can breath life into the topic too
Aw thank you, that’s so nice of you!!! And yep some big differences I’m sure
Good job. Keep at it.
Learned about estimated taxes the hard way this year lol. I still work as a full time Software Engineer but also have a media business (as a sole proprietor) and I am also a subcontractor with the Department of Defense. I have my normal work under my W2 ofcourse, but everything else was filed under a Schedule C. I was asked while filing how much I contributed in estimated taxes and was incredibly blind-sided lol. At least now I know, and can plan accordingly for this year haha.
I feel happiness when i saw your vlog.....love from pakistan..... Most cutest girl in the world....❤
Technically (according to the IRS), an IRA is actually an individual retirement arrangement (not account). Very little known fact.
Quick question Taylor! Are your investment accounts (i.e. brokerage) different than your 401k or Roth? Because technically the retirement accounts can also be invested, per se. Amazing breakdown!
Good sharing and best idea ❤
GOOD STUFF LOVE TO HEAR YOUR OPINION THANKS BABY STEP IS A KEY LIKE US FROM OUR FIRST WALK IN THEPAST
I really like your channel it' so cool....makes decided to watch another your channel video 👩🏫♥️
Hi Taylor, any cash position I have in my Schwab account I keep it in SWVXX. It's a Schwab money market fund that currently pays a 5.12% yield. I put my cash deposits in that money market fund first, then if there are any individual stocks or ETF I want to buy, I simply sell off enough of the SWVXX to make the purchase. Maybe you do this already but thought I would make a mention. Keep up the good work!
Great video!
LOVE these style videos! Super helpful to get a sense of how others manage their finances!
YAY, hope this one was helpful also!! 😊
Thanks for sharing. Have a good day ❤
Great video! London vlog coming?
Thank you!! YES
Taylor do you start thinking to return to consulting or any new job and stop being self employed? Big love to you ❤
Another great video, but two points worth noting: 1) Solo 401(k) generally much better than a SEP IRA for many reasons. Also you can do a Roth Solo 401(k) or a Roth SEP IRA if you prefer those after tax gains. 2) ETFs are better than Mutual Funds for tax reasons. In any event, THANK YOU for sharing and for your transparency! Great channel!
Really great points!! This is the exact type of comment I was hoping for- thank you for the insight :)
#1 Move out of NYC!!!!🤨
your video stumbled into my feed, good stuff and as someone who is going that self employed route I understand how much different it can be with regards to an inconsistent flow of income as well as other things. I would say to not fade out crypto, more specifically Bitcoin. If I've learned something these past years is to not let my prejudices get in the way. Bitcoin has been and will likely be the best performing asset in the decade to come.
interesting video even if im not from the US. i know way more about personal finance in the US than in my own country lol. i was especially curious about the self employed part. also about setting up your own corporation, and whether it'd be possible to self-401k match yourself if you pay yourself a salary, those kinda strategies.
also, where's your top from? i like the two-tone concept
Self employed 💪
I think a good way to keep your liquid assets is to put it into high yield savings account (HYSA) where you can earn APYs up to 5% (most tend to be around 4%) and it stays accessible. It does take about 2 days to come back to checking when you transfer but still better than it sitting in your checking.
Not sure if I missed this, but seeing as how you're self-employed now, how does it work? Are you a business/LLC?? (or whatever it's called lol🙈)
New 🐢 member here! 😃
WELCOME to the pack!!! I'm not an LLC yet but will def open one this year-- will keep you guys updated on that process hehe 😊
I wish I could pay you to be my financial consultant. 😊 You seem to have it all figured out. Everything is so confusing to me.
Love your videos & you certainly have abundance of knowledge but just a suggestion to communicate a bit slowly so as to be able to grasp the info from a viewer pov! ❤❤
Taylor, i love your voice and your beautiful face! I subscribed!!
Amazing 😍
When are we going haggis hunting in the Scottish Highlands? This is the best season for it as they're all over the place.
Your first video 100% filmed abroad is with a Royal Taylor duchess backdrop... talking about such an important topic cool, I signed up for E-Mail list see ya baby 🤑🐢✌️
HECK YEAH
You have such a great smile.
Me watching this video as if I had money to invest 🤑 learning for the future haha
Edit: while also not being a US citizen/living in the US so the whole 401k etc not even applying to me LMAO. Just love your videos always, so interesting and informative!
Great job as always. London Eye as a backdrop would have been the icing on the cake.
What would be your recommendation to people with existing career who want to switch to management consultancy, actually?
So how much do you pay for health insurance? Is it based off of your income?
