Very good benefits, good work life balance, great place to start a career a learn.
For a company in the financial services industry, pay is very low compared to others in this sector. There’s no financial incentives to stay here once you attain a senior job level as the company’s bonus programs do not take number of years at the company into account.
I put my money into VFFVX - a 2055 Target date retirement fund. Noticed a lot of people saying they just do VTSAX - am I missing out on returns being in VFFVX? Do you not put anything in bonds/safer investments and why? I'm 28 btw, TC 250K
My previous company 401k is the Vanguard Target Retirement Fund 2055. It doesn't grow much and still below the ATH by 20%, whereas SPY already ATH. Should I sell that and convert to SPY instead. I currently have 120k 401k Target 2055 and 110k 401k in SPY. Should i just convert all 401k to SPY instea...Read more
What target funds do people use for retirement 401k saving? Do you really use ideal retirement year? Trying to understand if better right now to use safer fund since economy cannot stay this good forever.
Assume I’m mid 50s and have about 100k in savings (total) and don’t expect to make much more money. I do have an almost paid off house.
Vanguard target date retirement fund has an expense ratio of 0.05 and vtiax total international stocks had an expense ratio of 0.11. Isn’t the latter expensive? Target date fun d includes this so why do people buy individual funds rather than target date? Aside from being able to control the breakdo...Read more
I haven’t contributed to any retirement plans for myself yet - no 401k, nothing. Been saving a LOT as I’ve been living with my parents post-college. I’m looking to throw in max annual contribution to a Roth IRA ($6k) with either Vanguard or Fidelity ASAP (before EOY). My main concern is that I thi...Read more

Is anyone in the position to take retirement distributions from vanguard? Are you using the personal advisor services and do you feel that the amount they told you you could take out each month is right
I switched company a year ago. I had currently two 401k accounts for 2 different companies (current company uses vanguard where as previous uses empower retirement).

I did a silly mistake of selecting a default - Vanguard Target Retirement 2060 Trust and it gave very less returns
Small little PSA to take advantage of 2023 Roth space if you haven’t already. The deadline is till April 15th, 2024. Given all the high TTCs on Blind, $6,500 is a pretty no-regret amount of money to stow away. $6,500 will become a nice mid-to-high 5-digit amount of tax-free gain money that could fi...Read more
I opened a Vanguard account recently and just invested in a standard year X retirement fund without investigating other options. What are the highest return, lowest cost funds in Vanguard? I can investigate this myself but was hoping to save some time.

I am currently at a company with Fidelity but I have switched jobs a lot so also have money in retirement accounts with TIAA, Voya, and Vanguard. My company has frequent layoffs so will probably switch again at least one more time. Is there any benefit to consolidating with 10-15 years until retirem...Read more
